The Cost of Calling: Why Some Leave and Others Rise
What do you do when someone walks away?
Acts 13:13 is only one verse, but it exposes a truth every leader and believer eventually faces. Not everyone who starts with you will finish with you.
In this episode, we walk through the quiet fracture in the early church when John Mark leaves Paul and Barnabas, and what that moment teaches us about leadership, endurance, failure, and restoration. This is a raw, honest conversation about staying faithful when the excitement fades, the team gets smaller, and obedience starts to cost more than you expected.
