Leaving What You Love

Why does God sometimes call us to leave things that we love, that are serving others, and glorifying Him? Whether it's a fulfilling role, cherished relationships, or a thriving ministry, it can be confusing when the gentle whisper of the Holy Spirit nudges us to let go of what seems perfect and purposeful. 

 In today's episode, we delve into the reasons behind God's prompting to leave what we love and explore the remarkable rewards that come when we obey.

💡Today's Big Idea: Leaving positions of relevance, popularity, and power are invitations to greater know Christ.

⚡️Today's Small Step: If God is prompting you to leave a position or role for a time, ask Him to give you a vision of the greater treasure.

QUOTES

"The central question is, are the leaders of the future truly men and women of God, people with an ardent desire to dwell in God's presence, to listen to God's voice, to look at God's beauty, to touch God's incarnate Word, and to taste fully God's infinite goodness." Henri Nouwen

"The way of the Christian leader is not the way of upward mobility in which our world has invested so much, but the way of downward mobility ending on the cross." Henri Nouwen
