In this episode of the Ministry Mix Podcast, Phil and Richard dive into a practical conversation for anyone sensing a call to ministry. Whether you’re a high school student, a mid-career professional, or already serving in a church, this episode outlines six clear and biblical steps you can take right now to discern and develop your calling—before you ever get a position or a platform.

You’ll hear about:

• Why character must come before competency
• How lingering and showing up consistently can shape your future ministry
• The importance of being teachable and asking the right questions
• Why reading your Bible and submitting to discipleship is non-negotiable
• How your local church plays a central role in affirming your call
• And why “don't wait for a stage—start with a broom” might be your next best step

This episode is packed with personal stories, pastoral wisdom, and helpful pushback for those navigating early ministry aspirations. Whether you're mentoring someone or starting to explore a call yourself, this is a must-listen guide to spiritual formation and practical readiness.

Key Quote:
"A call to ministry isn’t a call to perform—it’s a call to be faithful. And faithfulness starts long before a microphone."
