Faithformed (formerly The Pursuit Podcast): A Podcast About Faith, Leadership, and Life in a Noisy Culture
Faithformed is where faith meets real life.
We live in a loud culture that is constantly trying to shape who you are. Faithformed, hosted by pastor and communicator Justin D. Belt, is the counter-narrative. This podcast creates a space for everyday believers and emerging leaders to pause the noise and pursue spiritual depth, emotional strength, and cultural clarity.
If you have ever felt behind the pace of your purpose, or wrestled with the tension between your calling and your current reality, this is your home. We move beyond surface-level conversations to explore how God builds the person before He builds the platform.
Each week, we dive into:
- Spiritual Formation: Moving from behavior modification to heart transformation.
- Leadership: Leading with integrity in a world that values hype.
- Calling & Purpose: Navigating the "waiting rooms" of life.
- Culture: Engaging the world without losing your soul.
Join us as we explore the intersection of faith, identity, and inner healing. If you want a faith that forms your life—not the other way around—welcome to Faithformed.
