The Myth of Calling | Spiritual Formation with Brian Delamont (Ep. 194)


Listen Later

Have you ever thought that "calling" was just for certain people or wondered if you had somehow missed God's call for your life? Or, do you worry that God might call you to something you don't want to do? Brian Delamont joins Heather and Keane to tackle the myths about "calling."

  • 1 Timothy 2:4
  • "God calls people to Himself."
  • "Once we know Him and His truth, we become a part of His body, a part of the Church, and as His disciples, we enter into a lifelong process of becoming who He knows we can be and doing what He asks us to do."
  • Matthew 28:18-20
  • "Calling rests on a lot more than just me and my understanding. God's calling is always part of God's plan, and this includes His plan for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth and in the life of each individual who hears this call and then follows."
  • Matthew 4:18-20
  • "We always have to give up something because we give up our old life, we give up our old self, to become what God is calling us to be and become."
  • "Who knows me better than the God who made me? He will be the One who calls and leads."
  • "'God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called.'"
  • Redeeming Work By Brian Dik
  • "God does call the equipped, and He's also the great Equipper Himself."
  • Luke 10:45
  • Ephesians 2:10
  • "God has a powerful and a long history of taking human action and redeeming it for His divine purposes."
  • Genesis 50:20
  • 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
  • "It's our God who makes us worthy of His calling, not the other way around."
  • Judges 6:14
  • Isaiah 6:8
  • "A clear call from God does not necessarily mean that things will look successful from a human perspective. We may only see difficulty, and yet that doesn't negate God's call or God's presence."
  • John 10:27
  • Mark 8:34
  • Exodus 3:10-14
  • Deuteronomy 31:23

October Reflection: What am I waiting for? What's my role in this, and what is God's role? How can I help break down the myth of calling in my community and call out the gifts I see in others?

What's changing our lives:
