Episode 58: Courageous in Calling - Part 5
In this final talk in the series, “Courageous In Calling”, Lance reinforces the need to be committed to the season we find ourselves in. Our purpose and calling unfold seasonally, and when we understand that we can embolden our commitment to our calling.
Notes:
You were born for a purpose.
Mark Twain said, “The two greatest days of your life are the day you were born and the day you learn why.”
You have a purpose.
To know this purpose, know God.
To fulfill this purpose, be trusting (know God).
To fulfill this purpose, be courageous.
To fulfill this purpose, be competent.
To fulfill this purpose, know what season you’re in.
As one pastor said, “Learning begins at the place of application.”
Remember, as a leader…
You teach what you know, you reproduce who you are.
You can’t give what you don’t have.
You can’t take people where you haven’t been.
