Summary:

In this episode, Dan addresses issues surrounding finding the work you love, and finding time to be a part of your church ministry. While many of think the work we do for the ministry is vastly more important than the work we do as lay people, the reality is they’re equally important—the Bible does not distinguish between secular and sacred work. Listen as Dan paints a clearer picture to help us understand this reality.

3 Key Points:

2. Don’t put yourself in a position where you accumulate debts.
3. The fastest way to pay your loans and debts is not getting another job – it’s finding a way to get leverage in a business.

The post Did God call you or are you just wandering? appeared first on Official Site Dan Miller.

Questions This Week:

1. I’ve got a conviction on my record.  How can I possibly get an opportunity?
2. I recently stepped out of doing ministry in the church, and I still feel some sort of guilt about it.
3. Currently, I am approximately $260,000 in debt. I’m struggling in determining where to start and would love some advice and direction.

Plus good news and great stories on how 48 Days To the Work You Love is working for you. We are all called to ministry — some as engineers, construction workers, bankers, authors, speakers or coaches. Those are equally sacred opportunities for ministry.

Cliff Feightner poem:

Now is a time to changeDo not think of it as strangeYou need to adaptYou cannot be trappedIt’s anytime that you can rearrange

Quotation:

The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” Frederick Buechner

Show Notes:

Episode – 08-25-17 Title: N/A Subtitle: N/A

Summary:

In this episode, Dan addresses issues surrounding finding the work you love, and finding time to be a part of your church ministry. While many of think the work we do for the ministry is vastly more important than the work we do as lay people, the reality is they’re equally important—the Bible does not distinguish between secular and sacred work. Listen as Dan paints a clearer picture to help us understand this reality.
