Summary

People throw around the word “calling” in church. But how are you supposed to find yours? Knowing when God is actually calling you to do something in your life is often a lot more complicated to figure out than we'd want it to be. It would be great if we could get a clear, 'Yes' or 'No' but often we need to learn to move on a 'Maybe'.

0:05.2	podcast. I wanted to thank you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you.
0:09.5	Hope it builds your faith. Hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life,
0:13.8	enjoy the message.
0:14.8	God brought you here today to let you know that was my voice calling you, that was me that gave you that talent. That was me that made you good

0:48.4	Samuel ran to. What are you running to? If you're running to something that is not your purpose,
0:57.6	you feel it in several ways.
0:59.7	But one of the things I want to mention is,
1:01.8	I'm trying to surround myself in this stage of my life
1:05.7	with people who bring out the God in me.

1:37.3	contagious and I know there are certain people when I get around them I feel I feel something rise in me that lets me know I can overcome
1:46.8	and I need them around me. I need them to rub off on me. I need them to speak into my life.
1:52.4	I need them to speak into my life. I need them to encourage me. I don't need people

2:00.7	to push me forward.
