How To Love Your Calling Without Worshipping It
You were called to it. You’re good at it. God Himself put it in your hands. So how does a gift that good quietly become the one thing you can’t live without?
That’s the question at the center of this episode of WhatItIzWhatItBeezLike?!, where King Size sits down with Philadelphia’s own The DreamR — the artist behind American Church, A Dream Never Dies, and his latest single Arrows. Drew has been part of Christian hip hop long enough to watch it grow from something local churches frowned on into a movement with budgets, platforms, and reach. But this conversation isn’t a victory lap. It’s an honest look at what happens when the thing you were made to do slowly takes the place of the One who made you for it.
Drew doesn’t dance around it. Early on, he says, he was genuinely on fire — and somewhere along the way the music stopped being about lifting God up and started being an idol. He built his whole identity on it. He was convinced he’d be nothing if it didn’t happen, so he pushed off marriage, pushed off becoming who God was calling him to be, and told himself he’d make it in music first. Then 2018 came, and everything caught up with him.
What Drew did next is where this episode turns — and it’s the part most people never have the courage to do. It cost him his momentum. It cost him followers. And what grew back in its place looked nothing like what he laid down.
Along the way, King Size and Drew get into the wilderness we choose for ourselves — how fear and disobedience can keep us circling the same desert for years when the road out was never that long. They talk about the weight of a name Drew once hated, the redemption hidden inside it, and why a dream you bury too soon doesn’t actually die.
If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering whether the good thing you’re chasing has quietly become the thing you worship, this conversation is for you. Drew’s been there — and he’s living proof there’s a way to hold your calling with open hands.
