Your calling will always look different from somebody else’s calling.

Billy Hallowell

Pursuing Things For God Without Holding Back Truth with Billy Hallowell

We are living in a "filter bubble," an era with too much information, but it is our responsibility to be in search of truth. Almost everyone can get into media and create an impact, but it is easy to get jaded by all the information out there. As Christians recognizing that we have different outlets and being authentic in our message without withholding our truth is key. Although, we all have opinions and perspectives, most of us don’t hold onto our truth enough, especially when we feel something is weird and want to exclude it from our conversations out of fear of how we will be perceived if we talk about it.

“We need to talk about it all from a Christian lens and provide a resolution. We’re called to the truth, and it should always be the baseline for everything we do, whether it’s on social media, podcasting, blogging, or working in a media company” - Billy Hallowell.

Join the conversation with Billy Hallowell as he shares how he got involved in journalism, the struggle of wanting to pursue things for God but becoming distracted by pursuing things for himself, and how talking about taboo and difficult topics gives an opening to speak and give life into someone else's. Billy is a journalist, commentator, and digital TV host who has covered thousands of the biggest faith and culture stories. He has written over 14,000 stories on faith, culture, and politics, interviewed hundreds of celebrities, authors, and influencers, and is the author of four books. He is currently a journalist and host with CBN News and Faithwire and was formerly the director of content and communications at Pure Flix and the former faith and culture editor at TheBlaze. If you are curious about how you can look at life and advance through a faith lens, this episode is for you!

Tune in!

During this episode, you will learn about:

[00:30] Episode intro and a quick bio of the guest

[01:44] Billy’s background and what he does in the faith media space

[02:59] Billy’s life before and how he became involved in the faith media

[06:22] The nagging desire that drew Billy to media from a tender age

[07:56] How we get distracted wanting to make a name for ourselves

[09:51] The moment that shifted Billy to pursuing things for God and not himself

[11:46] How Billy was able to gauge one good opportunity from the next big opportunity

[15:07] A bit about journalism and how Billy combines his faith into that

[17:52] Holding to the truth enough when getting your perspective out through media

[19:34] Billy’s book, Playing With Fire, and the reactions he received from people

[22:20] Why we need to be mindful of what we exclude because we’re afraid to talk about it

[24:44] Billy’s book writing journey and how he balances it with his journalism work

[26:39] Billy’s next leap

[27:30] Moving back to CBN after 3 years and why it was a God-led move

[28:53] Prayer and journaling: How Billy renews his spirit after covering difficult projects

[30:21] How to reach out, connect or learn more about Billy

NOTABLE QUOTES:

God has a way of taking our interests and moving them in the way that he wants us to go when we trust him.
A lot of time, we’re sprinting toward something that we want, but sometimes, we might be sprinting toward something that is not meant for us.
We get so distracted by the things around us wanting to make a name for ourselves.
As Christians, we are called to the truth, and it has to be the baseline of everything we do.
The world is talking about some Christian topics more than Christians are doing it.
