Carrying the Call
A Kingdom Formation Guide for Called Servants
A calling deserves more than a title. It deserves formation.
About this book
You may recognize a call to ministry while still asking what faithful preparation should look like. You may already serve and want to examine the foundation beneath your responsibilities. This book offers a focused invitation to consider how your inner life, understanding of Scripture, and treatment of others shape the way you carry your calling.
A closer look
What does it take to carry the responsibility of ministry faithfully? Carrying the Call invites called servants to give serious attention to the person behind the preaching, teaching, leadership, and public service. Its focus is the formation that supports responsible ministry: character, sound preparation, care for people, and a reverent approach to the work of God.
This Kingdom formation guide brings motives, spiritual gifts, and readiness for service into the same conversation. It asks readers to consider how they handle Scripture, how they approach the altar, and how they treat the people entrusted to their care. Throughout that focus is a clear concern for leadership exercised with wisdom and accountability, including the responsibility to lead without abuse.
The questions are personal as well as practical. What is shaping the way you serve? How do your motives affect the way you use your gifts? What kind of care accompanies the words you speak and the authority you exercise? These are useful questions to bring to a formation-centered reading of this book. Giving them attention can make your reading a deliberate examination of responsibility, rather than simply an affirmation that you have been called.
Take the next step in examining how you carry your calling. Get Carrying the Call on Amazon and make room for thoughtful reflection on the character and preparation your service requires.
