Understanding Calling
Our calling is one of the more significant factors in ministry. Once we discover our calling our whole life fills with majesty. More than merely gifts and “passions” (as in teaching, singing, etc.) our calling is a fingerprint of how the Lord has created and wired us, as well as how He has overseen the very details of our lives bringing redemption into every moment – even tragedies and losses.
Calling re-stories our past and fills it with meaning and hope for the future. Calling is also fuel for our current assignments and empowers future decisions. Leaders must do this work of uncovering their calling, sharing it with those they lead and then do the same work for others to discover how the Lord is putting together the local body.
