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.

11. When Your Calling Feels Bigger Than You | Faith, Purpose, and Building Spiritual Capacity
Ever felt called by God… but completely unprepared to carry that calling?
Like you can see where God is leading you, but you don’t feel skilled enough, confident enough, resourced enough, or “spiritual enough” to get there?
This episode dives deep into one of the most overlooked tensions in the Christian life:
The gap between calling and capacity.
If you’re wrestling with,
“God, why would You call me to something I don’t feel ready for?”
this message is for you.
We break down why God often reveals your purpose before He builds your capacity, why weakness is the place where real growth begins, and how to stay faithful in the stretch season. You’ll hear biblical truth, raw encouragement, and practical wisdom to help you walk boldly in the calling God placed on your life even when you feel underqualified or overwhelmed.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
• Why calling often comes long before readiness
• How God uses weakness to build strength
• The difference between hype and holy preparation
• Four uncomfortable but necessary stages God uses to expand your capacity
• Why feeling “too small” is actually a sign you’re right where God wants you
Scriptures Referenced:
• 1 Thessalonians 5:24
• 2 Corinthians 12:9
• Luke 16:10
This episode is for you if:
• You know you're called, but you don’t feel qualified
• You feel stuck between who you are and who God is calling you to become
• You’re tired of waiting and wondering if God chose the wrong person
• You’re ready to grow, stretch, and step into your God-given purpose
Final Word:
God doesn’t need you to be ready.
He needs you to be willing.
He builds capacity in surrendered hearts one step at a time.
If this spoke to your season, share it with someone else who’s in the becoming stage. Leave a review, hit follow, and join the journey of becoming everything God called you to be.
