Does God hate what you're good at?

Do you doubt the things you're good at?

In this episode, JP invites all you Fish Baggers to rethink the age-old struggle of purpose, passion, and calling. Is it possible that your deepest joys and unique talents aren’t just random, but are actually your assignment?

00:00 – Opening Blessing & Welcome
JP sets the tone with a heartfelt prayer and welcomes the Fish Baggers, reminding everyone this podcast is an evolving experiment. He encourages feedback and invites listeners to join the community in Barcelona or online.

02:00 – The Struggle with Calling
JP tackles the misconception that what you love isn’t what God wants for you. He challenges the belief that pursuing your gifts is selfish, and instead argues that your talents are part of your divine design.

05:00 – Embracing Your Design
JP shares how even our work and struggles can be blessings. He encourages Fish Baggers to see their skills and passions as intentional, meant to be developed and used for good.

08:00 – The John Maxwell Principle
Inspired by leadership wisdom, JP talks about the moral obligation to discover and develop your strengths. He introduces the Pareto Principle—focusing on your top talents for the greatest impact.

12:00 – Practical Steps: Strengths and Feedback
JP gets real about his own journey, using tools like StrengthsFinder and listening to honest feedback from his community. He highlights the importance of both self-reflection and input from others in identifying your true gifts.

15:00 – A Vision in the Garden: Seven Gifts
JP shares a powerful vision from prayer, where he saw himself as a seed among seven others—each representing a core gift: desire to see God’s kingdom, the Father’s heart, communication, joy, empathy, handiwork, and fearlessness.

20:00 – Living Out Your Values
JP stresses the importance of having defined values, even if they’re not perfect. He urges Fish Baggers to intentionally grow in their unique areas, trusting God’s guidance and the wisdom of trusted voices.

25:00 – Encouragement & Call to Action
JP wraps up with encouragement to double down on your strengths and trust that God can multiply what you offer. Fish Baggers are invited to share feedback, join the community, and keep growing together.

• Your gifts are intentional: Embrace and develop the unique strengths you’ve been given.

• Focus on your strengths: Real impact comes from investing in what you’re naturally good at.

• Community and faith matter: Seek feedback and listen for God’s voice in your journey.

• Live with purpose: Define your values, pursue growth, and trust the process.

Join JP and the Fish Baggers for a thought-provoking blend of faith, practical wisdom, and encouragement to step boldly into your calling.
