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.

4. The Myth of Arrival: Why 'Making It' Never Feels Like Enough
Many of us live with the hope that one day we’ll “arrive”, or we’ll feel secure, confident, successful, and finally at peace. But the truth is, arrival is an illusion. In this episode of The Pursuit Podcast, Justin dismantles the dangerous lie of arrival and shows how true fulfillment doesn’t come from milestones, platforms, or accomplishments, but from abiding in Christ.
Through Philippians 3:12 and Paul’s reminder that even he had not “arrived,” you’ll discover why peace rooted in achievement is always fragile. Justin unpacks the dangers of chasing finish lines, the freedom of redefining success as obedience, and the joy of embracing process over perfection.
If you’ve been waiting until you feel ready, confident, or accomplished to step into your calling, this episode will remind you that God never asked for perfection. He asked for surrender. You don’t need to arrive. You just need to keep showing up, keep becoming, and keep pursuing what actually matters.
