The Called Podcast

What do you do when the thing you're building starts facing resistance from every direction? The deal falls through. A key person leaves. The numbers shift. Doubt gets louder. The strategy that was working suddenly needs to change. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you start wondering: Is this resistance a sign that I'm doing something wrong? Not necessarily. In this episode of The Called Podcast, Touré Roberts explores why opposition can actually be a sign that you're making progress, especially when you're building something meaningful. Drawing from the story of Nehemiah, PT breaks down what every entrepreneur, leader, and visionary needs to understand about resistance: how to keep building when the pressure increases, why progress requires you to identify and close the gaps in your organization, when it's time to adjust your strategy without abandoning your vision, and why you can't allow opposition to make you question what you know you're called to build. Sometimes the resistance isn't telling you to stop. It's telling you that you've entered new territory. Keep building. And if you're ready to go beyond inspiration and get practical tools for what you're building, explore THE CALLED Seminars. These focused sessions are designed to help entrepreneurs, leaders, and builders navigate the real challenges and opportunities shaping business, leadership, innovation, and the future.

Momentum isn't a feeling. It's something you build. In this episode, Touré Roberts shares the framework behind lasting momentum and explains why so many people stay stuck while others steadily move toward the vision God has placed in their hearts. You'll learn why momentum is compounded obedience, how to steward the instruction you already have, and why your next step matters more than you think.

What if the answer to your financial frustration isn't simply making more money? In this conversation, Touré Roberts sits down with personal finance expert and bestselling author Anthony O'Neal to talk about what actually creates financial freedom. Anthony has lived on both sides of the equation. He knows what it is like to struggle financially, live paycheck to paycheck, and wonder whether there will ever be enough. Today, he has built a multimillion-dollar business and significant personal wealth, but the principles that changed his life started long before the millions arrived. In this episode, we talk about: • Why your money needs a vision • The difference between making money and managing money • Why consumer debt can become a form of bondage • How to create financial margin • Why earning more does not necessarily mean becoming wealthier • The hidden money sitting inside unnecessary expenses • What to do when your income increases • How comparison can destroy your financial plan • Why saying "no" today can create a much bigger "yes" tomorrow • How the decisions you make today are funding the life of your future self One of the biggest lies you can believe is, "I just don't have enough." Before deciding you need more, you may need to learn how to steward, protect, multiply, and give purpose to what is already in your hands. Anthony O'Neal's book, Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck : A Proven Path to Break Free from Debt, Build Real Wealth, and Live Free on Any Income , is available now.

Money doesn't disappear because people don't make enough of it. More often, it disappears because they were never taught what to do with it. In this episode of The Called Podcast, Touré Roberts shares one of the most important financial revelations of his life: The first purpose of money is not consumption—it's multiplication. Through Scripture, personal experience, and practical wisdom, he unpacks timeless principles of earning, stewardship, and abundance that can transform the way you think about every dollar that comes into your hands. If you've ever wondered why some people continually build wealth while others continually start over, this conversation is for you.

What if the key to more isn't getting more, but mastering what you already have? We're conditioned to chase increase, influence, opportunity, and abundance. But God often works differently. We pray for abundance, and He gives us a seed. We ask for influence, and He gives us one conversation. We want the platform, and He gives us the process. In this episode of The Called Podcast, Touré Roberts reveals a powerful principle of multiplication: big things are simply small things that have been mastered and multiplied. You'll discover why God often starts small, how stewardship creates the capacity for scale, and why mastering what's already in your hands may be the key to everything you've been praying for. The revelation isn't simply that little becomes much. It's that much is nothing more than little multiplied. Before multiplication comes mastery.

How do you start again after life completely changes? In one of our most personal conversations yet, Sarah Jakes Roberts joins me to reflect on the months following her life-threatening accident and the unexpected lessons that came from being forced to stop. Together, we explore what happens when everything you've built suddenly comes to a halt. We discuss rebuilding after disruption, rediscovering purpose, overcoming fear, learning to rest, and finding the courage to move forward again. More than anything, this conversation reminds us that momentum isn't simply about moving faster. It's about remembering why you started in the first place. Whether you've experienced loss, burnout, disappointment, illness, or simply feel stuck in a season you didn't choose, this episode will encourage you to believe that your story isn't over. Sometimes the greatest momentum begins after the greatest interruption. In this episode: • How to rebuild after life unexpectedly stops you • Why purpose is the key to lasting momentum • The difference between surviving and truly living • How to embrace a new beginning instead of trying to recreate the past • Why God often prepares us in the pause before the next season Continue your journey by joining The Science of Momentum, Touré's free live masterclass on August 17.

What if the reason you're stuck isn't a lack of motivation? After stepping away for several months to care for Sarah during her recovery, I returned to a vision I was deeply passionate about—only to discover I couldn't move forward the way I expected. The motivation was still there, but the momentum was gone. In this episode, I share the personal story behind that realization and why it completely changed the way I think about progress, purpose, and getting unstuck. If you've ever struggled to restart after a setback, a busy season, or an unexpected interruption, I believe this conversation will encourage you. This episode also serves as an invitation to my upcoming free live masterclass, The Science of Momentum, where I'll unpack the psychology, leadership principles, spiritual insights, and practical framework for rebuilding momentum in every area of your life.

Some people stop growing because they stop struggling. When you're gifted, people applaud you before you're fully developed. And if you're not careful, talent can become the very thing that traps you in mediocrity. In this episode, Touré Roberts breaks down the discipline of honing — the intentional process of sharpening your mind, refining your leadership, expanding your knowledge, and developing the capacity required for your next level. This conversation explores: • Why gifted people are at greater risk of settling • The myth of "arrival" • How elite leaders think about growth • Why tension is often a sign of expansion • The importance of focus, learning, and sharpening your edge • How negotiation and leadership become gateways to influence • Why your future depends on who you're becoming Your company, calling, and influence cannot outgrow you. The question is: are you still honing?

A powerful moment means nothing if you don't know how to steward it afterward. In this final installment of the Maximizing the Moment series, PT breaks down how momentum is actually built after the opportunity, connection, insight, or breakthrough happens. Most people focus on getting in the room. Few people know how to turn a moment into movement, structure, rhythm, and visible fruit. In this episode, you'll learn: Why moments die after they happen The hidden forms of friction that destroy momentum How to create movement in the first 30 days Why 90 days determines whether something becomes real How visible fruit is produced over 180 days The difference between excitement and sustainable momentum Why stewardship matters more than opportunity This isn't motivation. It's a strategic framework for building lasting momentum in business, leadership, relationships, calling, and purpose. For more leadership tools, resources, and information, visit CalledLeaders.com

Some of the most important moments in your life will not announce themselves. They'll show up as conversations, tension, opportunities, patterns, introductions, instincts, and subtle signals. And if you don't know how to interpret what's happening in real time, you can completely misread a moment that was meant to move your life forward. In this episode, we explore the skill of reading a room, a season, and a signal. We talk about discernment, emotional regulation, timing, pressure, perception, and learning how to recognize what a moment is actually requiring from you while you're in it. Because not every open door is a green light. Not every delay is denial. And not every moment should be forced. Sometimes the greatest advantage in life is the ability to correctly interpret what's happening beneath the surface.

Most people think they miss moments because they weren't there. The truth is, they miss them because they weren't ready. In this episode, we break down what it actually takes to prepare for life-changing moments before they ever show up. From understanding your season to aligning your capacity, clarifying your desire, and knowing what you bring into the room, this is the work that determines whether a moment becomes momentum or just another missed opportunity. Part 1 of the Maximizing The Moment Masterclass If you've ever felt like you were in the right place at the wrong time, this episode will show you why.

Failure was never meant to define you—it was designed to develop you. In this episode, we explore the difference between losing and being a loser, and how every failure carries insight, correction, and strategy for your next level. The question isn't if you failed. It's whether you extracted the lesson.

Who you hire determines where you're headed. In this episode, Touré Roberts explores the role of clarity and discernment in hiring the right team. Leaders often focus on vision and strategy, but the people they bring alongside them shape the future more than they realize. Touré shares how to hire with wisdom, the importance of slowing down the hiring process, and the discernment questions every leader should ask. Because your team isn't just helping you build the future — they're revealing where you're headed.

Access does not automatically mean alignment. In Part 2 of The Seven Pillars of Masterful Decision-Making, Touré Roberts teaches how to discern opportunity, people, timing, and spiritual clarity in accelerated seasons. Inside this episode: • Knowing Opportunity — Is this good money or just money? • Knowing People — Who am I choosing to move with? • Knowing Timing — Is this premature, delayed, or ripe? • Spiritual Clarity — What am I perceiving beneath the noise? Acceleration without clarity leads to collision. Called people are clarity people. Preorder the book 'Knowing' here: www.KnowingTheBook.com.

Your success is not determined by your intentions. It's determined by your decisions. In Part 1 of this two-part series, PT Touré Roberts unpacks the first three pillars of masterful decision-making and explains why a decision is not merely a choice — it's a cut. Inside this episode: • Knowing Identity — Who am I deciding as? • Knowing Purpose — Is this aligned with what I'm called to do? • Knowing Alignment — Does this bring coherence or conflict? If clarity is compromised, decision-making is compromised — and so are your outcomes.
