What does it actually feel like to live inside your calling once the excitement wears off?

In this episode of Just Some BS, Brandon sits down again with Andy Bachert, COO of Friends in Action International, to talk about the unfiltered reality of purpose-driven leadership. This isn’t about the moment you say yes. It’s about what that yes keeps asking of you years later.

Andy shares what it’s like leading international mission projects, managing teams across cultures, navigating burnout, and carrying the quiet weight that comes with being “the inspiring one.” From drilling wells that don’t hit water to learning when to pause instead of pushing forward, this conversation goes deep into leadership, faith, and long-term impact.

This episode is for anyone who’s felt the tension between conviction and exhaustion, growth and responsibility, inspiration and reality.
