Calling | The Jean Symons Podcast

Calling | The Jean Symons Podcast

Have you ever wondered what your purpose is in life? What you are meant to do? This is a question that many people struggle with, but it's one that's worth asking. The Bible says that we are all God's handiwork and that He created us in Christ Jesus to do good works. This means that we each have a unique role to play in His kingdom. Our calling is not about our job title or our social status. It's about using our gifts and talents to make a difference in the world. In this podcast, we'll talk about what it means to have a Godly calling and how to discover yours.

Choose Your Twelve

Choose Your Twelve

If you want to love people well, you're going to run out of capacity. It's impossible for you to lead 100 people at the same level of quality. It's impossible. I remember reading that John Maxwell said, effectively, you can only lead 5 to 7 people. Jesus had 12. That was part of His inner circle, but he chose three out of the 12 that he took everywhere with Him. In this podcast I'll be encouraging you in finding your twelve.
