Finding Purpose Through Faith and Pain
Nicholas Spencer’s journey isn’t just about talent or opportunity. It’s about faith and purpose. These two words have followed him through every twist and turn in his life. When Nicholas first stepped onto the church stage, he wasn’t just performing. He was stepping into something greater, his calling. But that calling didn’t come without pain. It was carved through loss, doubt, and the struggle to stand firm in a chaotic world.
If you’ve ever questioned your purpose or needed a reminder that God still writes your story, Nicholas’s testimony will stop your scroll and speak to your spirit.
Faith and Purpose Begin at the Church Stage
That first play at church wasn’t just a performance. It was a revelation. Nicholas knew without a shadow of doubt that the stage was where he belonged. With every laugh from the audience and every nod of connection, he felt God’s confirmation.
This was more than acting. It was a ministry.
It reminded Nicholas, and now us, of Romans 12:6 NIV “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.”
God’s Grace Amid Grief
On October 31, 2008, Nicholas lost his mother, Margie Liles Spencer. She was only 47. He was just a teen. In that moment, life felt shattered. His foundation was gone.
But what rose from that heartbreak was faith and purpose made stronger.
Sunday memories with his mother at church became spiritual roots. God became his anchor. As Psalm 34:18 NIV promises, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
The Gentle Giant Misunderstood
Nicholas’s tall, strong presence often leads people to assume he’s intimidating. The truth? He’s anything but. He’s a gentle giant, full of warmth and joy. He cherishes connection, conversation, and good energy.
This truth reveals something deeper. Your purpose isn’t in how people see you; it’s in how God uses you.
When Chaos Comes, Faith Holds You Steady
Nicholas calls his faith EVERYTHING. When life gets messy, he doesn’t try to figure it out alone. He leans on Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
The chaos of life doesn’t scare him anymore. He knows who’s guiding his steps.
Faith and Purpose Are Strengthened Through Doubt
Nicholas doesn’t shy away from admitting that he once doubted his future. After his mother’s passing, everything felt uncertain. But God had already placed people in his life, a village of angels, to carry him through.
It’s in those low moments that purpose starts to shine. Sometimes, the breakthrough is born in brokenness.
Staying True in a World of Noise
The world can pull us in every direction. Nicholas has felt that. But every time he starts to drift, he remembers what gives him true joy, which is connecting with others through his gifts.
Faith and purpose don’t always scream. Sometimes, they whisper, reminding us of who we are when no one’s watching.
The Hard Lesson That Changed Everything
Nicholas learned this one the hard way. Doing things in your own strength leads to repeated messes. But letting God lead brings alignment, peace, and favor.
And once you’ve tasted that alignment, you don’t want to go back.
The Little Joys That Keep Him Grounded
Nicholas finds peace in simple joys. Being with family. Laughing. Relaxing at the beach. Even a pedicure. These moments fill his cup and renew his spirit.
It’s a reminder that purpose doesn’t mean constant grind. It means stewarding your joy, too.
Faith and Purpose Are Fueled by Accountability
Nicholas has a circle of people who challenge him, encourage him, and expect the best from him. That expectation isn’t pressure. It’s a reminder that someone sees his potential.
That kind of accountability? It’s love in action.
Believe in Yourself Like Nicholas Believes in You
Nicholas says it best, “Believe in yourself more than you believe in other people.”
It sounds simple, but it’s powerful, especially in a world that tries to shrink you down or fit you into boxes.
Healthy Temple, Healthy Mind
Nicholas lives by this principle: Take care of the Temple (Body) God gave you. From eating clean to enjoying moments of rest, he understands that our physical health affects our spiritual walk.
Treating your body as a temple isn’t a fad; it’s biblical.
