Sometimes we find ourselves wondering why we love the things we do. Why does passion fill our hearts and cause us to pursue the seemingly impossible? Even as a child we noticed the things we are passionate about and we quickly obsessed over it. Our calling determines our path in life, but fulfilling it often presents a challenge. Listen closely as we discuss our destiny and the calling we must fulfill.
