Do you question your calling in life? What if your calling isn't what you planned? In this episode, I sit down with Norrie Steyn to talk through the twists and turns that have shaped his life. He grew up in a small South African town, moved across the world to play college golf, and eventually stepped away from a stable career path to pursue ministry.

We talk about the moments that pushed him out of what was familiar, the tension between financial security and purpose, and the way he's learned to invest in people through steady, relational work. Norrie shares what it's like to carry his faith into the professional golf world where it isn't always welcomed.

Here are a few takeaways from our conversation:

Stepping out of comfort zones — Growth often begins when we're willing to leave what's familiar.
Purpose over security — Choosing calling over comfort leads to a more honest, meaningful life.
Relational ministry matters — Real transformation tends to happen through personal connection.
Authenticity in skeptical environments — Staying grounded in your mission matters most when it's tested.
Meaning beyond material gains — Fulfillment is found in faith, service, and relationships.

If you're navigating your own crossroads or trying to make sense of the next step in front of you, Norrie's story offers a steady reminder that courage usually shows up in the small, consistent decisions we make along the way.
