What Does It Mean to Be Called?

In a recent episode of Point of View, host Kerby Anderson sits down with author and business coach Brittany Bruce to explore the question that many people ask themselves: "What is my purpose?" Bruce frames the idea of calling as a personal invitation from God that can feel both exciting and unsettling.

From Feeling Crazy to Finding Clarity

Bruce acknowledges that the phrase “I’m not crazy, I’m called” often starts as a confession of doubt. She describes how the first chapter of her book invites listeners to recognize a “unique spark” that God has placed in each person, and how that spark can be clarified through a process of reflection and prayer.

The 40‑Day Journey to Purpose

Central to the conversation is a six‑week, 40‑day framework that blends biblical passages with practical exercises. Bruce explains that the program is designed to help people move from uncertainty to confidence, offering daily prompts that encourage participants to examine their gifts, experiences, and the ways God has already worked in their lives.

Why the Conversation Matters

Beyond the specifics of the book, Anderson and Bruce discuss why many believers struggle with the idea of calling in a world that feels uncertain. They touch on how faith can provide a sense of direction amid everyday doubts, and why the pursuit of purpose is a central theme in Christian life. The discussion invites listeners to consider how they might begin to listen for God’s invitation in their own circumstances.
