Thank you for listening to the Allender Center podcast.

I'm Dr. Dan Allender.

And I'm Rachel Clinton-Centen.

We're fiercely committed to providing hope and healing to a fragmented world.

And restoration for the heart.

Thank you for joining us.

Let's get this conversation started.

Well, what are the great delights of being in the Outlander Center is being able to work with really remarkable people.

And we have, Rachel, a really remarkable person, technically our boss. But beyond that, a dear friend, and also a colleague that I've been working with for, again,

these months seem like years, but we've been working together, Kathy Loriselle and I,

on a book, on the concept of character and calling, what it means to be a priest, a prophet,

and a king or queen for the larger purposes of the kingdom of God.

And what we're going to do over the span of a number of weeks is to invite you into these

categories of what it means to think of yourself, having been given a kingdom, in which

you are a priest in the kingdom, You are a prophet in this kingdom,

and you are a king or queen. So, just to begin, Kathy, it is a delight to have you join, Rachel,

and me. Thank you. Thanks for inviting me. I feel so special. Well, me, I would hope you do.

And as well, we're going to jump into the reality that you have been given, Kathy, and Rachel and Dan, kingdoms. So what does that mean to the two of you,

that we have been given a kingdom?

Oh, gosh.

I mean, so even as you say that, it feels, I think there's a balance between understanding

what we're called to and what we're meant to take care of versus a sense of what we're meant to rule.
