Lay Ministry: Passion vs. Romantic Notion

How do you know if something is truly your calling or just a compelling idea? Jeff explores how to discern your place in the Church by identifying the difference between a genuine passion and a romantic notion. Many people feel drawn to roles like writing, speaking, or ministry, but not every attraction is a calling. Through Scripture and practical wisdom, we can discover our gifts, cultivate them, and put them into action in a way that serves God and others.
