Monday small roup

Life Lab

The Monday night small group (which is now meeting for the summer at 1:00 PM on Sundays in Room 1) had a very good follow-up discussion on “the Life Lab” questions. No one seemed to be struggling with belief. Most people struggle with “calling.” A lot of the discussion centered around, “What is a calling?” and “What obstacles keep us from following our call?” We pretty much came to the conclusion that our general “calling” as Christians is pretty clear; Be disciples who go and make disciples. A couple of brave souls took up the challenge. One person shared that she used to have a calling when she was younger to help people. She shared that her friends in need always sought her out for support and prayer. However, she felt that as she got older she walked away from her calling and God eventually “lost her number.” Two or three people in the group encouraged her to take one simple step to go back and find that calling again. Another person in the group said that his one step toward walking more in his calling was to find local “non-Christian” open mic nights where he could get involved and get to know people. The group promised to hold him accountable for taking that step.
