Show Summary: What do you think of when you hear someone talking about their calling or their purpose? We tend to think of calling as our specific job or the talents the Lord has blessed us with, but hosts Elisa Morgan, Eryn Eddy Adkins, and Vivian Mabuni challenge this thinking by diving into Scripture. What if the Lord has an everyday calling and purpose for each of us? Explore what this means from Mark 1:16-20 during this God Hears Her conversation.  

Notes and Quotes:  

“Every call has two steps. There’s a call to something and there’s a call from something. First, we’re called to God and to a relationship.” —Elisa Morgan 

“He came to me with a question, and it was ‘are you tired?’ And I was very tired. He knew I needed to be asked a question, not told what to do. He knew that He needed to show curiosity to me for me to open up.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins 

“The only reason I think they [the disciples] could have ever responded to a role was because they were called to a relationship. It is the overwhelming presence and power of presence that called them.” —Elisa Morgan 

"When you’re all in, then there’s this relationship, this intimacy with God that can’t be manufactured or bought or mustered up.” —Vivian Mabuni 

“The core pieces of ‘a call’ is a call to a relationship with an undeniably powerful God who wants what is good for us and a call for a role where He uniquely places us in opportunities, vocations where we can use our gifts for His good. And then to accomplish those things, we need to leave some things behind. There’s a call from certain things.” —Elisa Morgan
