A Called Generation

Exponential NEXT Podcast Episode 81
Series: A Called Generation
Hosted by Carrie Williams, Executive Director of Exponential NEXT, this episode welcomes Austin Rockwell, founder of Kamp Love and leader with Nissi Young Adults. Austin is a passionate disciple-maker whose journey has shaped thriving ministries for college students and young adults across the country.
Every calling comes with a cost but the transformation is worth it.
Carrie and Austin dive into the often-unspoken realities behind growth, leadership, and living out your purpose. Austin shares deeply from his own story; navigating grief and purpose after the tragic loss of his best friend, using that pain as fuel to launch Kamp Love, and persevering through seasons of doubt, exhaustion, and sacrifice. His journey paints a raw and hopeful picture of what it really means to step into God’s call, day after day.
In this episode, you’ll discover:

How setbacks, loss, and struggle can become the very foundation for your greatest impact
What it looks like to keep serving when the path is unclear and ministry feels costly
The spiritual and emotional price of becoming who you’re meant to be—and how God meets you in the “messy middle”
Stories from Kamp Love’s growth and Nissi Young Adults—reminders that the deepest transformation often comes outside your comfort zone
Practical encouragement for leading, loving, and pressing forward, even when the journey feels uphill

Austin’s perspective is honest and hope-filled, shaped by hundreds of camping trips, thousands of lives impacted, and countless lessons learned on the front lines of ministry. Whether you’re a leader, volunteer, or simply hungry to grow, this episode will invite you to count the true cost and embrace the beautiful, hard, and redemptive work of becoming.
You are not alone. Every part of your story, no matter the cost, is preparing you for a purpose greater than you imagine.
