75: Purpose in Every Season

In this episode of WordSmith, Pastor Clay sits down with Dave Pyle to explore calling as something much bigger than a job title or professional ambition. Through the life of Peter and Dave’s own journey through career, loss, faith, and transition, they discuss how God uses every season of our lives to shape us for His purposes.

Together, they unpack the importance of listening for God’s direction, embracing grace over performance, and recognizing that what seems small in the world’s eyes can have tremendous value in God’s economy. Whether you’re just beginning your career, navigating a transition, or wondering what God has for you next, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that your calling doesn’t end when one chapter does.

Dr. Clay Smith is the senior pastor of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church, located just north of Atlanta, GA. JF, as it is affectionately called, is a healthy, vibrant church committed to helping people find truth, belonging, and purpose in Jesus.
