Raise the Question: But What If I Don't Want to Answer?

Welcome to our Sunday Sermon podcast!  In this sermon, Pastor Jo Ellen shares part of her calling story and how it is not always a straight forward path.  What does it mean to discern God’s calling when you feel like you already have your life all figured out? What ways might God be nudging- or yanking- you out of your comfort zone? What would be one easy way and one harder way to respond to God’s calling today? Is there an “age limit” … too young or too old … to be called by God? What if my calling conflicts with my existing plans?

Do We Have to Answer Our Call Now?

She shares how we are given many callings throughout our lives that may or may not come when we are ready for them.  There is no such thing as being too old, too settled, or too stuck in our ways to answer God's call.
