What happens when everything in your life is working… and God asks you to walk away from it? In this episode of Entrusted, we sit down with Taylor Teel (Executive Director of Camp Maranook) to walk through a story marked by survival, success, surrender, and ultimately obedience. From a life-threatening diagnosis as a newborn to building a thriving career, and then taking a massive pay cut to step into ministry, Taylor’s story is a powerful reminder that God is not looking for comfort—He’s looking for obedience. This conversation hits on pride, legalism, identity, calling, and what it really looks like to depend fully on the Lord when the path forward doesn’t make sense. If you’ve ever wrestled with what God is calling you to do—or what it might cost—this one is for you. Camp Marannook is a Christ-centered residential summer camp in Lafayette, Alabama focused on helping students encounter the Gospel, grow in their faith, and be discipled in God’s Word. Through intentional teaching, community, and mentorship, Marannook exists to raise up the next generation to know and follow Christ. https://marannook.org/ Timestamps 00:00:00 Intro 00:03:49 First Birth / Second Birth 00:16:45 Pride / Legalism 00:27:45 College Life 00:36:50 Dependent on God 00:38:45 Early Career Years 00:43:50 Primo 00:54:00 Getting Into Ministry 01:06:00 Wrestling With the Call 01:13:30 Taking the Leap of Faith 01:20:00 Stepping Into Ministry Life 01:27:30 When Everything Feels Like It’s Falling Apart 01:35:00 God’s Provision in Uncertainty 01:43:30 Building Something That Lasts 01:50:00 Trusting God Daily 01:55:00 What We’re Entrusted With 01:58:00 Closing
