Wrestling with the Tension of Becoming

 

In this episode of Eat Don’t Compete, we dive into the tension of becoming who God has called us to be. Drawing from three powerful scriptures—Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32, Paul’s image of jars of clay in 2 Corinthians 4, and the thorn in the flesh in 2 Corinthians 12—we see how struggle, weakness, and dependence on God are all part of spiritual growth.

I also unpack the difference between purpose, calling, and assignment, and how understanding each one can bring clarity to your walk with God. Whether you’re wrestling with your identity, battling your own “thorn,” or simply trying to keep going in the middle of life’s challenges, this episode will remind you that the tension is not a sign of failure—it’s a sign of transformation.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay faithful when life feels heavy, this conversation will encourage you to lean into God’s process and keep pressing forward.

Tune in, take a deep breath, and be reminded: you are seen, known, and wonderfully made by God. You are different because that's the way God made you.
