In our final episode looking at a biblical calling, we discover why God chose the type of people the majority of the church is made up of. We will look at the danger of being a boaster, and the blessing of being a servant.

God’s decisions of people He chooses to work through are so unlike man’s reasoning it seems ludicrous in many ways. There is a very good reason for those choices, and we will look at the type of people most of those called by God are made up of. It shows us one important aspect of His Character. There is no one that is outside His abilities to use.

In this episode we explore God’s choosing us for our calling. What does that exactly mean? What is God’s heart in that choice? What can happen if we move at a different pace than the Lord is asking us too? All that and more is waiting for you. Let’s dig in! Follow me on Instagram and Gab @thecreatorscalling.
