What do you do when you feel called by God… but your life looks nothing like it should?
In this episode, Sherri sits down with Clayton Tyner for a powerful and honest conversation about identity, expectations, rebellion, and the grace of a God who never stops pursuing us.
As part of the Letters to Me series, Clayton reflects on his journey—from the weight of being “the kid with a calling,” to running hard in the opposite direction, to ultimately encountering the kindness of God in a way that changed everything.
This episode speaks to anyone who has:
- Felt crushed by expectations
- Wrestled with identity or purpose
- Questioned if they’ve gone too far
- Tried to run from God
Because sometimes the truth is simple:
You’re not too far gone… you’re just on the wrong side of your story.
And God is still writing it.
✨ In this episode, we talk about:
- The weight of expectations and identity
- What happens when you rebel against your calling
- The difference between performance and grace
- Why God’s kindness—not shame—leads us back
- How your story (even the messy parts) can be redeemed
