Episode notes

Your calling isn’t just about you. It carries breakthroughs for others.

And when you obey, miracles move.

Rex Crain is an acclaimed speaker, writer, and peak performance coach who has spent the last 25 years helping people unlock their potential and walk boldly in their God-given calling. He has worked with Fortune 500 companies, Olympic athletes, entertainment executives, medical professionals, and individuals from all walks of life, from the world’s most elite stages to some of its most broken places.

In this episode, Rex unpacks the radical decision that took him from the MLB to sweeping floors in a church, all to follow a voice greater than success. Through stories of disruption, obedience, miracles, and spiritual boldness, Rex shows us what it really takes to walk in purpose.

He reveals:

The truth about calling, pain, and spiritual identity
How obedience to God brings favor, miracles, and clarity
Why success isn’t the goal and what significance looks like
The surprising link between compassion and calling
The powerful story of a young boy brought back to life through prayer
