So they stall. They spin their wheels, convinced the &quot;real&quot; calling has not arrived yet. In this episode, Daron Earlewine sits down with Ken Primeau, lead pastor of Mercy Road Northeast, who built a thousand person church without ever planning to. Ken's whole story is a chain of small yeses. A blank check handed to God in a Panama outhouse pit, a scholarship that came through at the last second, a dream that pointed him to a state he could not find on a map, and two words he heard as his plane touched down in Indiana. If you have been measuring your life by milestones nobody handed you, this conversation reframes what a faithful, purposeful life actually looks like. KEY TAKEAWAYS: \u26a1\ufe0f Purpose gets built through small steps of obedience, not one cinematic calling. \u26a1\ufe0f A surrendered &quot;blank check&quot; yes to God strips the fear out of risk. \u26a1\ufe0f Healthy leadership shares the weight instead of building everything around one personality.
