As Graduation Season Approaches, 'Find Your Gold Thread' Helps Students Align Career with God's Calling

DURANT, Okla. - Rezul -- As the Class of 2026 prepares to toss their caps and choose a major, former college professor Jason Ward is releasing a timely guide that could save them years of regret and tens of thousands of dollars: Find Your Gold Thread.

Many graduates will lock in a career path before they've discerned their God-given purpose—only to face burnout, mid-life crisis, and mounting student debt later. Ward's debut book flips that script. Drawing from over two decades as a creative director, entrepreneur, and nature photographer, it shows readers how to trace the "Gold Thread" of divine purpose hidden in their life's key moments, passions, disruptions, and even failures.

"To work outside your true calling is like a thoroughbred horse hooked to a plow," Ward says. "It can pull the plow, but it was born to run."

Black Threads—addiction, tragedy, distraction, or wasted time—don't erase God's plan; they often refine it. Through biblical wisdom and practical reflection, readers learn to:

Identify their unique Gold Thread by revisiting shaping moments and childhood memories.

Recognize and redirect Black Threads that pull them off course.

Turn hardship and failure into strength for what's next.

Align faith, work, and decisions around purpose instead of pressure.

Find Your Gold Thread releases May 7, 2026—right in the heart of graduation season. It's the perfect gift for new grads, mid-career professionals in transition, or anyone questioning decades of choices. Now available for preorder in paperback, hardcover, ebook, and audiobook formats on Amazon and major retailers.
