Why do so many people stop pursuing their calling—even when they know God has called them to more? In Part 2 of the Keep Running series, Thomas Carney shares the number one reason people stop running toward their God-given calling —and it’s far more subtle than burnout or fear. It’s complacency. Drawing from personal experience with chronic pain, career goals, and faith, Thomas unpacks how complacency quietly shapes our mindset, limits our vision for the future, and keeps us stuck in “good enough.” You’ll learn how to identify where you’ve grown comfortable, why thinking only in terms of your current circumstances is dangerous, and how to begin shifting your mindset to pursue your calling with excellence. This episode challenges you to uncover your blind spots, engage accountability, and take intentional action toward the future God is inviting you into. If you’ve ever felt stuck, stagnant, or unsure why you stopped moving forward—this episode is for you. Perfect for: Christian men, chronic pain warriors, those questioning their purpose, and anyone who feels “limited” but knows God still has more for them. 💬 Discover Your God-Given Calling Feeling stuck about God’s next step for you?
