Am I called?

from The Ministry Edge Podcast

Every pastor has asked it. Most just never say it out loud.That quiet question “am I actually called to this?” has a way of showing up at the worst moments. When you're exhausted. When there's conflict. When the growth you expected isn't coming. And instead of sitting with the question, most leaders either push it down or panic, but neither one helps.In this episode, Chad and Jason create space for one of the most personal and rarely discussed tensions in ministry leadership… and reframe the question entirely.In this episode, you'll hear:Why doubt doesn't disqualify you, and why the question itself might not be about calling at allThe difference between your calling and your current fit, and why confusing the two leads to burnout and bad decisionsHow emotion, exhaustion, and isolation can masquerade as a calling crisis, and what to do insteadWhy calling is rarely meant to be discerned alone, and how community and wise counsel change everythingHow to ask better questions before making a big moveThis might be the conversation you didn't know you needed.
