Man Torn Between Priesthood and Ex

0:00A 43-year-old guy from Tennessee has been married in divorce three times, with three adult kids in a 13-year-old. His latest divorce wrapped up just weeks ago, and now his ex wants to hit pause for nine months to see if they can patch things up. He's torn up inside because years back, before his first marriage, he felt a strong pull toward becoming a Catholic priest, but ignored it. Recently, a priest-buddy sermon hit home about ignoring God's calling life, and it's got him rethinking everything. Meanwhile, he's clear on what he thinks God wants, priesthood, but he's battling that urge to just chase what feels good for him right now, not the higher path. Dear Abbey stepped in with solid advice, quoting Shakespeare to say, be true to your own self. She told him, unless he's all in on committing fully, don't force it, and there are plenty of other ways to serve a faith community without going full, priest, bottom line. He needs to tune into his conscience and heart to find that real direction, no half measures.
