The Gift of Rest

In Episode 6 of Season Two of Called to Make the Call, Mike Estelle reflects on the often-overlooked role of rest in sustaining a long-term calling. Drawing from a recent three-week break between basketball and baseball seasons, Mike shares how intentional rest leads not just to recovery, but to renewed focus, energy, and perspective. Through officiating experiences and Scripture, this episodeexplores how overcommitment and fatigue can quietly impact performance, decision-making, and leadership—both on the field and in everyday life. Listeners are encouraged to see rest not as stepping away from responsibility,but as an essential part of preparation and stewardship. Because in the long run, the ability to serve well isn’tbuilt on constant activity—it’s sustained through intentional rest.

When Confidence Gets Shaken

In Episode 5 of Season Two of Called to Make the Call, Mike Estelle reflects on a reality every official eventually faces — the moment when confidence gets shaken. Whether it comes from a difficult play, a challenging game, or the quiet replay of decisions after the final whistle, those moments can linger longer than expected. Drawing from a personal officiating experience and grounded in Scripture, Mike explores how officials can respond when doubt begins to creep in. Rather than allowing a single moment to define their calling, this episode encourages listeners to reflect honestly, learn from experience, and step back onto the field with renewed purpose. Because in the long run, confidence isn’t built by avoiding difficult moments — it’s rebuilt through perseverance, preparation, and faithfulness over time.

Guarding the Heart

In Episode 4 of Season Two of Called to Make the Call,Mike reflects on the importance of guarding the heart in officiating, leadership, and everyday life. While rules, knowledge, mechanics, and discipline are essential on the field, the condition of the heart ultimately shapes how an official leads and serves. Drawing from years of officiating experience as well as personal seasons of caregiving and responsibility, Mike explores how frustration, fatigue, pride, and criticism can quietly influence our perspective if we’re not attentive. Grounded in Scripture and practical reflection, this episode encourages listeners to remain vigilant about their motives, to return regularly to humility and gratitude, and to protect the integrity of their calling. Because in the long run, steady leadership begins with a guarded heart.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
