Fortunate Events Podcast - Episode 11: A Season for Every Purpose & A Time for Every Calling

“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1 In the eleventh episode of the Fortunate Events Podcast, A Season for Every Purpose and a Time for Every Calling, I sit down with Nate Manthey, a man whose journey has spanned ministry, nursing, entrepreneurship, authorship, and graduate studies in marriage and family therapy. In our conversation, Nate shares how each chapter of his life has been shaped by faith, how God has led him down unexpected paths, and what it means to step out in courage when the script doesn’t look the way you imagined. We talk about lessons from serving others, the connection between compassion and calling, and the ways God redeems even our hardest seasons. This episode is one of the most vulnerable and faith-filled conversations to date, and I know it will encourage anyone who feels “different” or is searching for clarity in their purpose.
