Senior Year and the Path to Ministry with Benjamin Bruton and Special Guest Joshua Bruton

Benjamin Bruton is my son and a former guest, co-host and host of the Grit and Grace Podcast. A Senior in high school, he joins us today to reflect on his years up to now and share how he feels God is calling him and other young people to pursue pastoral ministry. My husband Joshua surprised us by joining in this casual conversation and meaty Bible study on famous biblical characters such as Samuel, David and Jeremiah. How old were they when they heard God's call? And how did they respond to that call and more on this engaging episode by and for young people and their families. Benjamin is a senior in high school and active in Bend, Choir, and Drama. In his junior year, he served as school mascot and procured the administrations permission to start a school sanctioned Bible club. Currently Ben serves on the Student Ministry Team at First Baptist Church in Ponder and is part of the choir at Calvary UPC Denton. He plans to attend college and pursue degrees in theology and music theory. He believes ultimately God has called him to preach and to pastor a church.
