What happens when the business you built no longer aligns with the calling you feel? And how do you pivot without losing your clarity, your audience, or your faith?

In this deeply honest conversation, Jake Roehl shares what it looks like to walk away from a successful coaching business based on a word from Jesus Christ and step into a completely new season - missions work in South Africa. This isn’t theory. It’s a real-time transition filled with faith, uncertainty, health battles, and bold obedience.

We talk about:

1. How to Pivot the Right Way in Business (Go Toward, Not Away)

Jake breaks down a powerful reframe: don’t think of yourself as leaving something, think of yourself as going toward something. Every pivot creates confusion, but clarity comes when you anchor your decision first, in Christ, then in what you’re building next, not what you’re walking away from.

2. Evidence vs. Proof in Major Decisions

One of the most profound insights in this episode: there will always be evidence on both sides of a big decision. But evidence is not proof. The key isn’t collecting more data. It’s examining the belief driving your choice and ensuring it can carry you through the transition.

3. Obedience, Courage, and the Cost of a Bold Yes

From shutting down a thriving business to navigating multiple cancer surgeries while preparing to move overseas, Jake shares what it looks like to say “yes” to Jesus even when circumstances feel overwhelming. You’ll hear how resilience, prayer, and clarity of calling shape both business and life decisions.

If you’re in a season of transition, or feeling the tension between success and significance, this episode will challenge and steady you.
