Following the Call

Unleashed Podcast – Episode 134

What makes you tick?

In this episode of the Unleashed Podcast, Brent Henderson shares how following God’s call becomes something you can’t not do. From a high school counselor who said he wasn’t college material, to working in a steel mill believing a lie about his worth, Brent unpacks how God used adversity, danger, and unexpected moments to awaken his true purpose.

Brent reflects on his early music career—including touring with Steven Curtis Chapman and his college roommate Eric Horner—and how all three men stayed true to their calling by serving Jesus through music with their lives. Their stories reveal a powerful truth: when a man aligns with how God uniquely created him, he comes fully alive.

This episode challenges men to confront the Big Lie—that performance and others’ opinions define their worth—and replace it with God’s truth. Brent explains how real whys give life meaning, while counterfeit whys like money, status, success, and approval only keep men busy and empty.

If you’re bored, beaten down, searching for more, or wondering why your life feels stalled, this episode will help you rediscover the call God placed on your life—and the courage to follow it.

Because when a man finds his why, he stops surviving and starts living.
