The Power of Obedience: Pat Barrett on Faith, Music, and Living with Purpose.
In this episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer sits down with worship artist and songwriter Patt Barrett for a raw and transformative conversation about obedience, ambition, and the true cost of success. Patt shares how his pursuit of purpose and performance once led him to burnout — and how learning to say “no” became an act of worship. Together, they unpack what it means to live a life of holy ambition, to hear God’s voice amidst noise, and to redefine success beyond productivity. This episode challenges listeners to examine their pace, protect what truly matters, and pursue a life of alignment over achievement.
Takeaways
- Saying “yes” to everything isn’t obedience.
- True success is measured by alignment, not output.
- God’s voice often contrasts with worldly ambition.
- Discipline means protecting what matters most.
- Health, rest, and family are spiritual priorities.
- You can’t serve others from an empty tank.
- Obedience sometimes looks like slowing down.
- Productivity doesn’t equal purpose.
- Growth without boundaries leads to burnout.
- God can do more with your obedience than with your effort.
