What if you are chasing the wrong dream? | E01

In the very first episode of The RAC Taught Me Podcast, Coach RAC tackles the question of "What if I am chasing the wrong dream?" with the help of three listeners who reached out via voicemail. Brandon wonders how to know if his goals align with God's will. Sophia, a high schooler preparing for college, asks how to pick a career path that honors God. And Deanna, 10 years into working with adults with disabilities, questions whether she's still on the right path.

Coach RAC shares his own journey from chasing professional baseball to playing for the Savannah Bananas, and unpacks a life-changing insight from the book Found God's Will by John MacArthur: the five biblical priorities for knowing God's will, and a sixth principle that might surprise you. Along the way, he explores the Hebrew word avad — how work and worship are one and the same — and why God cares far more about who you're becoming than what you're achieving.
