Are you stuck in career transition, going through countless interviews and still waiting on “the call”? In this powerful episode of Professional Faith, host Melissa D. White sits down with Kim Hurd — a corporate executive who, after a 30-year career and more than 40 job interviews, made a courageous leap of faith. Rather than choose her dream job offer, Kim chose to trust God’s timing and launch her own new business, Truly Hurd Consulting.
Kim’s story is a testament that sometimes your “next job” isn’t a job at all — it’s a calling. Tune in to hear:
Why she kept pressing despite rejection and discouragement
How she discerned God’s direction even when the path looked uncertain
What it takes to step into entrepreneurship from corporate life, guided by faith
Encouragement for anyone waiting on God’s timing for their breakthrough
Whether you’re facing job loss, burnout, or a pivot into business ownership — this episode will remind you that when you align with God’s timing, the right opportunities and clients are already waiting.
Hit play — and be reminded: sometimes the hardest decisions lead to the most divine destinies.
