In this episode of Conversations, we dive deep into the distinction between seeing ministry as a calling versus a career. Too often, people view ministry as a title, a paycheck, or a position.

💡 Join us as we break down 7 key ways to embrace ministry as a calling—anchored in scripture and real-life insights. Whether you're a pastor, leader, or simply passionate about serving, this episode will challenge and inspire you to look at ministry in a whole new light.

What You’ll Learn:

Why ministry is a lifestyle, not just a job
How to serve selflessly and lead authentically
The danger of chasing titles instead of doing the work

לפני 9 weeks29:59

Are you truly leading, or are you just helping? In this powerful episode, we break down the real difference between helpers and leaders—why leaders build people, create vision, confront problems, and take risks, while helpers simply follow directions and avoid tough conversations.
