In a cultural moment filled with noise, uncertainty, and constant pressure to define ourselves, many Christians are quietly wrestling with a question they may never say out loud: What exactly is God calling me to do?
Brendan Roach’s book, “It’s My Call,” speaks directly to this struggle. And it couldn’t be more timely.
Today’s believers are navigating a world where identity is confused, work is demanding, and purpose feels more like a buzzword than a spiritual reality. Add to that the pressure many Christians feel around evangelism, ministry, and “living out your calling,” and it’s easy to become overwhelmed or unsure where to even begin. It’s My Call enters this space like a steady, biblical compass, guiding readers back to what God has already been doing inside them long before they asked the question.
What makes this book so relevant is its deeply grounded approach. Rather than promoting the idea that calling is reserved for the spiritually elite, Roach brings it back to the everyday believer. He dismantles the myth that you need a dramatic moment, an angelic visitation, a supernatural voice, or a burning bush experience to know your purpose. Instead, he helps readers recognise the fruit already appearing in their lives: patterns of influence, areas of effortless grace, and the activities where God consistently breathes life.
One of the most transformative messages in the book is Roach’s teaching on willingness. In a culture obsessed with outcomes, achievement, and personal success, he reminds readers that biblical calling begins with the heart, not the result.
Are you willing to say yes? Are you willing to explore? Are you willing to follow God even when you can’t yet see the destination? That posture of willingness is what shaped Abraham, Mary, Peter, and Paul and it’s what shapes us today.
And then Roach goes further: once you discover your calling, you must eventually declare it. Not as self-promotion, but as alignment with God’s plan. This challenges the passivity that so many Christians fall into. Declaring your calling moves you from “I think God might want to use me…” to “I believe this is what God is doing in my life.” That shift often becomes the doorway to breakthrough, clarity, and spiritual momentum.
Christians today desperately need this message. Many are burnt out. Many feel insignificant. Many wonder whether God could use them at all. It’s My Call gently but powerfully answers those fears with biblical truth: Yes, you are called. Yes, God has a purpose for you. And yes, He has already been preparing you for it.
Reflection Questions
After reading the book or even taking some time beforehand, try answering these questions:
- Where do you see consistent fruit or grace in your life that may point to your calling?
- What fears or misconceptions have held you back from stepping into your purpose?
- In what area is God asking for your willingness right now?
- Who could you safely share or declare your sense of calling with?
- How might understanding your calling change the way you share Jesus
