📘 SummaryEvery man wants to live with purpose, but few know how to define their mission. In this episode of The Whetstone, Dredd, Dark Helmet, and The Plague unpack what it really means to live on mission, not driven by emotion or circumstances, but by clarity and consistency.They revisit the story of Steve, the man in every organization who just gets it done—not to glorify him, but to reveal the model of missional living: a man who knows who he is, what he’s gifted to do, and why he’s doing it.You’ll walk away with a practical reflection model to help you clarify your gifts, live with purpose, and lead others with strength and steadiness.

✅ Highlights

✅ How to identify your personal mission without confusing it with your job or your passion

✅ The reflection framework based on five key leadership gifts (apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd, teacher)

✅ Why “Steve” isn’t special—he’s simply missional

✅ How to turn daily reflection into daily direction

✅ The difference between purpose and mission (and why most men get it backwards)

✅ Why contentment, not comfort, creates consistent leadership

✅ How to find joy that outlasts mood, circumstance, or emotion

💬 Key Soundbites

“I am that somebody. While I am that somebody, I’ll make that decision.” “Mission isn’t what you do once—it’s what you define and return to daily.” “Your mission evolves, but your calling doesn’t.”

“Joy is stainless steel of the soul.”

“You can’t outsource reflection if you want to own your purpose.”
