This is the story about sitting down to do the thing God invited you to do, even though your worst fears are staring straight at you.

Why isn't it easier to do what we feel made to do? 

Why can it be so hard or so exhausting or so scary?

Lisa-Jo and Christie honestly share some of their behind the scenes stories of the fears they battle any time they accept an invitation from the Lord to do something for Him and His Kingdom. They try to tell the truth about how daunting it can be to show up and do what God asks us to do.

These are the shadow gifts -- that come hand in hand with a calling on your life. 

Here's how to sit down at the table in the presence of your enemies and accept Christ's invitation anyway.
