Hi, I’m Rev. Dr. Thor Challgren, and this is the first episode of "All Revved Up", a podcast for New Thought ministers and spiritual seekers looking to explore meaningful conversations and find purpose in their work and everyday lives. In this episode, we dig deep into the question: Why are you here?
Originally recorded on Election Day, November 5, 2024, this episode takes a reflective turn as I share my journey of launching this podcast and the unexpected realizations that shaped its direction.
From personal stories to universal truths, I discuss how we can live with purpose and create ripples in the world—even if we don’t always see the impact.

In This Episode:

• The Question at the Heart of It All: Why are we here, and what is ours to do?
• A Defining Moment: The story of my 1990 near-death experience and how it shaped my belief that “I’m here for a reason.”
• Living with Purpose: How everyday actions—big or small—can create ripples of positive impact.
• The Catalyst for "All Revved Up": How Election Day and a pivotal conversation with Rev. Amy Steinberg influenced my decision to move forward with this podcast sooner than planned.
• The Power of Putting the Ball in Play: Inspired by Mookie Betts and the 2024 Dodgers, this guiding principle serves as a metaphor for taking action without needing everything perfectly planned.

Key Takeaways:

• You don’t need a near-death experience to wake up to your purpose. Purpose is in the everyday moments.
• Life isn’t about one grand purpose—it’s about creating ripples that extend beyond what we can see.
• Sometimes, you just have to “put the ball in play” and see what happens, even if it’s uncomfortable.

Be sure to listen to Episode 2, where I sit down with Rev. Amy Steinberg for an open, real, and heartfelt conversation about purpose, spirituality, and showing up authentically—no matter the moment.
