13 July 2025 - HSMS: The Call
from Hamilton Elim Church Hosted by Hamilton Elim Church
🎧 The Call – with Naomi Johnston This is Part Two of our series His Story, My Story — a collection of real stories from ordinary people who God uses to do extraordinary things. After four years serving as missionaries in Budapest and delivering aid across Ukraine, Naomi Johnston, along with her husband Glyn and daughter Minna, returns to share a powerful and honest message about what it really means to follow God’s call. In this episode, Naomi unpacks Luke 14:25–35, reminding us that discipleship isn't about comfort—it's about commitment. With raw insights from the mission field, she challenges the common myth that smooth paths mean God’s approval. Instead, she reveals how God’s direction is sometimes clear, always confirmed, but never smooth. Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, Naomi speaks on: The painful delays of preparation The unexpected gap between the vision and the reality The deep work God does in us while we work around us This is a timely message for anyone wondering, “Is it supposed to be this hard?” and a moving reminder that His grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Cor. 12:9).
