In this episode of The Take A Step Podcast, we’re going back to a question you probably haven’t thought about in a long time:

“When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up?”

As kids, we dreamed in possibility—pro athlete, CEO, inventor, president. Somewhere along the way, though, most of us traded those bold dreams for what felt normal, safe, and acceptable. In this conversation, Josh breaks down how conformity slowly shrinks our calling, why people mock big dreams, and what it really means to pursue the life God has actually put on your heart… even when the crowd doesn’t get it.

We talk about:

  • How insecurity in others often shows up as criticism in your life
  • The danger of folding your dream to fit someone else’s fear
  • Why faith-filled obedience will always look “unrealistic” to the world
  • The mindset shift from popularity → purpose, opinions → obedience

If you’ve ever felt “extra” for wanting more, or worried that you’re too late, too behind, or too different to chase what God’s called you to—this episode is your reminder: let ’em talk… and build it anyway.

Hit play, take this in, and then take a step.
