#81: Today we’re diving into a question I get asked often: Can your motivational gift actually become your career?

Heavenly Position System Challenge:
For this week’s Heavenly Position System Challenge, in your journal this week, ask:
God, how am I already using my gift in the work I do each day?
Am I stewarding it well even when unnoticed?
If my gift isn’t my career yet, what does faithfulness look like now?
Write what He shows you, then take one step to use your gift this week—whether in paid work, volunteer service, or personal life.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
