In this episode of the Healthy Church Staff podcast, Todd Rhoades addresses the common fear among pastors and church staff about missing their divinely ordained calling. He challenges the myth of a clear, unmistakable calling and suggests that calling is often broader and evolves over time. Instead of seeking perfection, he encourages focusing on obedience to God in any role. This approach allows for personal growth and understanding that calling is built through consistent decisions and actions.• Fear of getting one's calling wrong is common among pastors.• The myth of a single, clear calling creates unnecessary pressure.• Calling is dynamic and grows with personal development.• Focusing on obedience rather than perfection can be more beneficial.• Reframe the question to 'Can I serve God well in this role?'• Clarity in calling can sometimes mask underlying fear.
