Summary

Lead Pastor Erwin McManus shares an empowering new message that gives us insight into how God orchestrates our calling in our lives. Though it is common to assume that the calling God gives us will fit like a glove, Pastor Erwin challenges this notion. Instead of fitting us perfectly, God’s calling is always bigger than us and requires that we lean into His power to step into it fully.

In 2 Thessalonians chapter 1, we read that God is the one who makes us fit for the calling He gives us. But there are times when we take on the calling others have placed on us instead of God’s. These callings don’t fit the unique plans that God has for us and they leave us unfulfilled, living below our intended purpose.

When we chase after the calling God has for us, He works miracles as we take action. And though our friends and family may not see the way forward to the calling God has given us, we must take responsibility for it and trust God in the process. God always gives a calling that is bigger than us and at the same time, He is always the one that makes us fit for it.

Have you been wondering how to take hold of the unique calling God has on your life? This message will give you the courage to step into your calling as you trust that God will make you fit for it.

0:00.0	Hey guys, I want to walk you me to the Mosaic podcast.
0:11.8	I'm Pastor Erwin, I'm Phil McManus, and just wanted to thank you for listening.
0:15.5	In case you didn't know, I just released a new book, it's called The Genius of Jesus,
0:19.7	The Man Who Changed Everything, and you can order it today at TheGeniusOfJesus.com.
0:25.5	Anybody hear it in between sizes?
0:29.0	I know it seems like a kind of an odd question, but that's just been on my mind this week.
0:32.7	And I'm always in between sizes, especially like few sizes.
0:38.0	I don't know who decided that a 10 is a certain size, or 11 is a certain size, or 12 is a certain
0:43.4	size, or 10 and a half. But I mean in between the in between. And not only that, and this is just
0:51.2	so embarrassing, my feet didn't decide to stop growing at the same time. So I have a left foot
0:56.3	who decided to keep growing in a right foot. No, this is good enough. And so I really should buy
1:01.2	two different sizes to fit my two feet, but it's just too expensive. So I have to decide
1:06.9	to lose her too tight, because I'm in between sizes. Anybody like that? And then I was on the East
1:12.7	Coast, and my friends wanted to buy me a gift, because I was doing something for him, so he
1:16.3	bought my pair of Yeezy's. And he was like, hey, do you like Yeezy's? I said, I don't have any,
1:21.0	and he goes, oh, I have one, I have a pair for you, but I didn't know they were made
1:24.5	in a hard plastic. And then he left me this note, and he said, hey, they run narrow, so I bought
1:32.7	you a size up. So I don't know what I made him think that a size up would make it less narrow.
1:39.6	So, so then I put on these Yeezy's, and I look like Will Farrow and Elf, because they're just
1:46.4	they're so long they're going to curl up, but they're still super tight. And you ever had something
1:51.6	you just wanted so bad, and it didn't fit, but you know, I can do this. I'm Cinderella's sister,
1:59.0	I'm going to make it work, and it's, I started trying to wear these things, they're just so compressed,
