Have you ever felt a fire in your chest over something wrong in the world—but weren’t sure what to do about it? In this week’s episode, Jess sits down with Tony to unpack holy discontent—that divine nudge that something must change, and maybe you’re the one to do something about it. Through scripture, personal stories, and practical guidance, they explore how to turn discomfort into meaningful action with God’s help.

Discover:

• What holy discontent actually is—and how to tell if it’s from God
• Tony’s personal experience with recognizing a deeper call
• Why it’s not enough to be angry—you need to process with God
• How David handled his holy discontent vs. how Moses didn’t
• A 3-step framework to discern what God wants you to do next

You don’t have to carry this burden alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck. This conversation will help you clarify, process, and move forward with purpose.
