The Pursuit Podcast
The Pursuit Podcast is where faith gets real, leadership gets honest, and culture gets challenged. Hosted by pastor, author, and speaker Justin D. Belt, this show is not here to coddle you with clichés. It's here to call you higher.
Each episode is a shot of truth and clarity for people who are tired of surface-level spirituality and starving for something deeper. We’re talking bold faith, hard questions, real transformation, and the kind of leadership that starts with obedience. Whether you're deconstructing, rebuilding, leading, following, or just trying to survive the chaos, this podcast will help you chase what matters most.
If you're ready to wrestle with truth, rethink what it means to follow Jesus, and pursue your calling with courage, then welcome to the pursuit.

4. The Myth of Arrival
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.
