“Did I Just Bench Myself?” | Letting Go, Identity & the Ministry Shift

Table Talks Ep. 2 | The Unraveling, the Untangling, and the Unexpected Laughter

Well hey y’all—welcome back to the Everyday Truths Podcast! If you’ve ever felt like stepping away from a role meant stepping away from your purpose… this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, Tiffany and I continue the conversation about what happens after the big faith leap—when obedience feels messy, identity feels wobbly, and you start asking, “Did I just bench myself?”

This episode is raw, reflective, and packed with laughter (and a few shoutouts to miserable cows, cat-cow pose, and a flame-stickered cane 😅).

We’re talking about:

Letting go of titles, roles, and other people's expectations

Navigating calling when clarity disappears

My journey from vocational ministry into something I never expected

Sitting with grief (and learning to laugh again)

What small beginnings really look like in real life

If you're in a season of transition, trying to untangle your identity from your job, ministry, or past self—pull up a chair. We’re keeping it real and reminding each other that growth doesn’t always look like progress… and sometimes healing looks like hysterical pool laughter.

👉 Be sure to follow, subscribe, and share this episode with a friend who needs a little hope for the messy middle.
