Are You Called? Are You Sure?

Yes!  You are in!  Thanks for making it in.  You ready for some reflection?  You called?  You sure?  This is Tom back at ya...aka...TommyP.  As you heard in the last episode, things went dry for me.  It happens.  It's part of the test.  There will be times when things go dry for you too.  What happened to the flow?  Pause, pray and reflect is what you need to know.  So I prayed, and then Casey stepped up.  And now Bob Shank comes at me and you get this nugget of wisdom, here you go...Are you called?  Are you sure?  Many of you don't know.  So thank you for tuning in.  For those not sure, you are here for a reason.  You're listening to this right now for a reason.  You have a purpose.  Don't let the enemy or others tell you different.  How do I know you have a purpose, check Jer 29:11.  Yet it is your job to ask.  To pray.  To tune in.  How often do you do that?  It should be daily.  Every day, you ask God.  Every day you check in.  Often are flawed human minds complicate things.  So we need teachers and mentors that can speak common sense into our lives.  The Bible is full of them.  There's a reason it's the top published book in the world.  Start in Proverbs.  Amazing wisdom in that book.  My favorite teacher is Jesus.  Simply to Matt, Mark, Luke and John.  Or if you are visual, I really like the Chosen series. Then you find mentors and teachers that are good with sharing above.  I like podcasts like Daily Hope, Unashamed, Dr. Bryan Lorrits, Southwest Church with Ricky Jenkins, Noe Garcia with NPHX, Tim Keller, Francis Chan the list goes on.What about my calling?  Oh yeah.  Here's another mentor of mine.  Bob Shank.  He founded something called The Master's Program.  I studied under him for 3 years.  Bob was mentored by Bob Buford the author of the best selling book Half Time.  Both Bob's were mentored by Peter Drucker, the leadership and business legend.  Who is quoted in just about every business school in the world.  Serious wisdom.  So here's a nugget for you shared by Bob...
