Discerning a vocation often feels like one of life’s greatest struggles—Who does God want me to marry? Am I even called to marriage? What is He asking me to do?

St. John Paul II wrestled with these same questions. Though he once dreamed of being an actor, his deep desire for holiness ultimately led him to the priesthood—an unexpected path that God had been preparing him for all along.

In this episode, Eve and Dr. Grattan Brown explore John Paul II’s own journey of discernment and why vocations became such a central theme of his ministry. Together, they uncover how he guided young people in discovering God’s call and the timeless wisdom he leaves us today as we seek to follow our own.
