🚪From Calling to Chosen | Walking Through the Door of Destiny
In this chapter, Richie paints one of his most powerful analogies yet: a door with a sign above it that reads “You Were Called for This.” It’s the door we all walk by—the one we feel in our gut but are often too afraid, too unsure, or too distracted to enter. This episode is for anyone who's ever felt the nudge but hesitated to walk through.
What’s on the other side of that door? According to Richie, once you step through, you realize:“You were chosen for this.”

🎙️ Inside this episode:
* A vivid doorframe analogy about calling, hesitation, and breakthrough
* The divine parenting of your passions and desires—nothing is random
* A cinematic retelling of Jochebed’s courage: Moses’ mother, her faith, her timing, and her obedience
* Why God’s timing isn’t just perfect—it’s strategic
* How your storms, your setbacks, and your upbringing are positioning you
* And why letting go often leads to the greatest comeback

From the Nile River to your everyday life, this episode connects ancient courage to modern calling. It's a heart-stirring reminder that faith steps always lead somewhere holy, even if you can't see it yet.
Don't ignore the door. Walk through it. You were called for this.

Speaker 1: 0:01

oh, there's an analogy that I'm a fan of of when it comes to you know your calling. And there's I'm going to paint imagery right there's a doorframe. Imagine there's a wall and a door, it's open and there's a sign above it that says you were called. You know you were called for this, come on in. You know kind of deal.

Speaker 1: 0:43

And a lot of people have those intuitions, those thoughts, those polls, like I think I'm supposed to do this. Uh, I think you know, and they walk by this door a lot you know. And they walk by and it says you were called for this, come on in. And you're just like man, I can't give this up to go in there. Or you know, I I don't know if I have what it takes to go in there. You know, I don't know if that's for me, I don't know if my partner will be in agreement, I don't know. You know there's all these like I don't knows that kind of come up or like maybe even fear, just whatever it is, but just you just don't give that door too much attention. Or you just kind of maybe get close enough to peek in and like wait a minute, I can't really see what's going on. I don't really, you know, I can't see what's on the other side. Should I walk in? Like what if I can't come back? And so that's just an analogy of a lot of times people, you know they don't really know what their calling is or what they're that you know they feel these poles and things that we've been parented in life and these desires and passions that's just been growing and formed in us are purposeful, right, god knows what he's doing. When you're like man, I love cars. There's a reason Like, oh, I love sports. There's a reason Like, oh, I love sports. There's a reason, oh, I love that song. There's a reason. God is on this, where the wind blows on this path to parent us, to prepare us with these desires. And in the book where you know I talk about, you know, football and different things in my life that I share personally in there, those are just examples of God parenting me and giving me these passions and desires and just bubbling. And so one day, when I came to that door, I went in, and this is what is really cool about when you go in the door man. This is what it's really cool about when you go in the door man, when you actually walk in the door and you turn around, it says you were chosen for this. So what I mean by that is that God always designed for you to be through the door. It was always part of the design. You just got to step through and trust. It's a process of just going through the door right and so bringing it back home with Moses and Moses' mom, juckabed, juckabed I had to study how to say that man. Juckabed Sounds like an MC name. I love backstories.

Speaker 1: 3:20

Going back to the history on things. So, prince of Egypt, the the movie, if you guys don't know who moses is one of the greatest animated uh movies. By the way, I watch it. I've been watching it like you know, uh, liam, one of my, my third grandchild. That's what he, when he stays a night, we put on either you know uh, joseph, or prince of egypt, yeah, and then he goes to sleep right away, like Egypt, and then he goes to sleep right away. So, yeah, prince of Egypt rides strong in the bro home.

Speaker 1: 3:54

But you know, when we hear this, this great story of Moses, we we know of him, you know being uh, you know uh, in Egypt, raised, as you know, the brother to the Pharaoh, to be under the Pharaoh, as the Pharaoh's so-called son, and then he ends up learning that he's a Hebrew and the Hebrews were actually all the slaves at the time. And and so he ends up you know killing, you know a slave master and leaves, and then God brings them back, you know to save. And there's this awesome, amazing calling on Moses, right, but I want to know the origin, like you know the history, so how it all like started and birthed. That's like the cool stuff for me, and not saying like what Moses didn't do was cool, it's just more like watching a great movie and trying to know the history, right, so, going back, juccabed Moses' mom, man, she was dope to me. Hey, come on, man, well was dope to me, come on, well, because you got to think, man, this is in a time where, you know, speaking of joseph, joseph was second of command of all, all of egypt, if you don't know his story and he was able to bring in all the hebrews into, you know, egyptian land, and so the hebrews were just multiplying faster than everyone else, and then then the nation was just growing, man, and so the new Pharaoh coming in was like man, we've got to control this Too many of them, just too many of them.

Speaker 1: 5:10

So they oppressed them, put them into slavery and whatnot, but they just kept growing. Still, it was just getting out of control, man. And so he was like all right, we've got to put a law in place that we kill all the sons, all the boys. They got to go, but because the midwives feared God, they were still like man, we ain't killing the boys. And so it was just, it was still happening. It was like it couldn't be controlled, but the enemy was definitely trying to like, wipe out any boy there was. So we just got we're just going to kill this thing, right. And so at the time and that season, man, jacob, the mom and I will just use mom, right.

Speaker 1: 5:52

So this mother has a baby and the baby is actually a handsome boy. It says that it was like it was a pretty boy. You know like, oh man, now even more so, they're really gonna want to, like you know, get rid of my baby. It's not like an ugly baby, because if you got an ugly boy, they're gonna be like oh man, we ain't worried about you. Kill all the handsome boys, all the ugly ones, we can use them. You know, I don't mean to laugh about that, but but it does say he was a handsome boy. So he was a handsome boy.

Speaker 1: 6:21

She hid him for three months. Three months can you imagine a mother hiding your baby, knowing that they're out to kill your baby boy? And you're hiding him for three months, yeah. And then I bet she felt some kind of fear of, or, you know, like a oomph, to know that, hey, man, like I don't know if I can hide him any longer, you know. And so she was able to build a boat, little little boat but yeah, but something that could actually float. She had the, the knowledge and the wisdom to grab papyrus, uh, reeds, put them together, get asphalt tar, fill it up, not only to get it to make it work and float in the nile river, but actually put it in a place behind reeds. So alligators want to eat the boat and the baby as well. So she.

Speaker 1: 7:14

So now, when I look at the origin of like this, I'm thinking man, okay, this is not like in the scriptures or any kind of history text, but this is me movie making in my head. I was like man. She must have grew up with a dad, a fish. You know, her dad was a fisherman, to know these little details like how the heck does she know how to do this? It's not like Moses' dad came in and did this. This was Moses' mom, right, right, that did all this. She gets all the cred, right, she's the one that. So I'm thinking, man, yeah, dad must have been an accountant, you know, or he worked with money. He don't touch tar, right, right, right, you know.

Speaker 1: 7:47

And so, mom, she just grew up with dad, who built these little. They went fishing and they know how to make boats and they know where to hide when they did fishing, because the alligator, they just kind of knew the knowledge. Yeah, she had the knowledge, I'm thinking, man. So here she was, she built this and then she actually told you know, miriam, the sister, follow, I'm going to put the boat in, put it in boom. So when she made the decision number one to hide the baby boom, build this little basket, let's call it not a boat, yeah, yeah, build a basket, I call it a little boat, man. And she put it in the stream. That was her walking through the door of her calling. Little did she know, man, that her calling to walk through that door at that moment. Can you imagine any other moment she let's just say she put the baby in three hours later. Yeah, she would have missed the pharaoh's daughter coming down to bathe in the nile.

Speaker 1: 8:42

To catch the timing of everything is just phenomenal. Yes, and how god works with our like. He understands timing and parenting. And everything he did in the back end with Moses's mom, who knew that it was this day to put the baby in the Nile so the boat could survive the river of the Nile to reach the moment that the actual daughter of the Pharaoh, who is the command of all Egypt, would walk down and bathe and see the baby at that exact moment. So all the things she went through. Now let's look at her back end. Everything she was going through in life, the moment her brother beat her up or the moment you know she didn't get. You know her dad didn't tell her what she needed to hear that day. You know everything she was going through. They had to move houses a few times. Think of all her parenting that she went through for this positioning moment, yes, is like what blows my mind.

Speaker 1: 9:33

But in that moment when Miriam goes down and then Miriam is there to see the Pharaoh's daughter come down and say, oh, this beautiful boy, we should keep it. You know, I like this boy, it's handsome, you know it's not ugly. And then Miriam speaks out because they were like, oh, we need somebody to to take care of the baby. Yeah, and miriam, miriam, they don't know, it's the sister like hey, I know somebody. And then brings mom right back. And in that moment when mom actually gets to hear the story of the baby being saved and coming back, being able to nurture it, that's let go. Let god, man, that that's that moment that she had to let it go. But you see what God did Brought her right back, baby, brought her right back. I'm stoked, let's go. So that's how our calling works. And when she got the report from Miriam, miriam came back. Mom man, can you imagine that report, ray? Mom, you won't believe it.

Speaker 1: 10:30

The Pharaohs daughter happened to be bathing at the same time that the baby was going by. And then mom was probably like oh, freaking out, like oh, no, like that's like I just did the worst thing ever. I'm hiding the baby from the pharaoh and I just gave the baby to the pharaoh. And she's like no, no, no, no, no, no. Remember, it's handsome, the baby's, don't you need to worry. And so, because the baby was handsome. But she's like Mom. Look, not only did she have empathy and love for the baby and wants to raise the baby as her own. The baby, our baby that you had didn't have a name yet.

Speaker 1: 11:17

The daughter of the Pharaoharaoh named the baby moses. Um, I think the michael name of moses means something found in the water, I'm guessing. I don't know, maybe we could look it up. We'll post it up, yeah, but can you imagine the mom hearing the news from miriam, the sister, to say, not only is the baby safe, but I got you to actually nurture the baby too, dude. That's why, for your baby, you know.

Speaker 1: 11:45

And so, um, at that moment, I think is when jacob was like, she knew she was called, she stepped through that door, that calling, and she knew she was raised for that moment to make that little basket. She knew, she just knew what to do. No, I know what to do, I got to do this, this, this and this. And just out of faith, who knew where it was going? Boom. But the moment she got called back and got to hold the baby again to nurture, it was the moment she looked back at that door and said I was chosen for this. And then you got moses's story. Oh, michael's got it saved from the water, drawn from the water, that's what moses means. So, yeah, that's why it was a very important for me to share that story in the chapter because, um, the wind blows, man that's, you don't know where it's blowing. She didn't know where the the, you know what, where it was going to go. But the trust, the fate, the patience, yeah, you know, was a big part of it. Bye.
