What do you do when God asks you to build the one thing you can't stand?

Shawn Whitson had deleted his own social media years ago — he couldn't stand the format. So when a struggling season in his tech company drove him to his knees and handed God the keys, the last assignment he expected was "build a social media platform to glorify my Kingdom worldwide." That's exactly what happened, in a moment so unmistakable it stood the hair up on his arms. In this episode, Shawn takes us through the whole arc — the call, the failures that trained him for it, and the proof God has shown up in the harvest since Acts Social launched.

In this episode:

• The failing tech company and the lie every entrepreneur believes: "if it's meant to be, it's up to me"
• The December 2022 morning God interrupted Shawn's prayer time
• Why he calls himself a "screw-up," and how failure trained him for this calling
• Sharee's side of the story — 30 years married, downsizing homes twice
• The inverted algorithm that rewards kindness and suppresses bullying
• Tamara's testimony: "for the first time in a long time, I feel like someone hears me"
• 7,000 users in days, and the upcoming book, Called Out of Nowhere
