In this episode of The Take A Step Podcast, Josh breaks down one of the most popular—and most misleading—pieces of advice our generation has been given: “Just follow your passions.”

Drawing from this week’s Weekly Mile edition, Josh explains why passion, while important, was never meant to be the foundation of your life. Passion fades. Feelings change. And when life gets hard (because it always does), excitement alone won’t keep you committed.

Instead, Josh challenges you to anchor your life in purpose—the deeper “why” behind who you are and how God uniquely designed you. You’ll learn the key difference between passion and purpose, how purpose fuels perseverance, and why chasing what feels good often keeps men stuck, drifting, or quitting when things get uncomfortable.

If you’ve been hopping from job to job, goal to goal, or habit to habit—this conversation will reframe how you make decisions, define success, and pursue a life that actually lasts.

Stop chasing feelings.
Start becoming who you were created to be.
