Stop living by the world’s definition of success, and start walking in what God actually called you to.
Have you ever found yourself quietly asking, “Lord, what is my purpose?”
If so — this episode is for you.
In this Season 2 finale of Discovering Home, Karla unpacks three words that get used interchangeably — but mean very different things: purpose, calling, and vocation. And when you truly understand the distinction between them, something shifts. The fog clears. The tension you’ve been carrying starts to make sense. And the life you’ve been longing for starts to feel less like a dream and more like an invitation.
Drawing from Genesis 1, the Great Commission, the fruit of the Spirit, and key New Testament passages, Karla grounds each concept in Scripture and brings it to life through her own story — as a wife, a homeschooling mom, and a woman who left a 20-year government career to follow God home.
In this episode you’ll discover:
✦ What purpose, calling, and vocation actually mean — biblically and practically
✦ Why your identity as image-bearer is the foundation of everything
✦ How your home is your mission field and your children are your first disciples
✦ Why stepping toward home is not a step back — it is a step of obedience
✦ Three practical shifts to help you stop living by the world’s definition of success
✦ How vocation is discovered through faithful exploration — not a single moment of clarity
Whether you are a Christian working mom feeling the tension between your career and your family, actively discerning a transition, or simply longing for more clarity and peace about the season God has you in — this episode will encourage, ground, and equip you.
