"Go...to the land I will show you:" discerning the gradual call to ministry at First Baptist Church Concord Knoxville, Tennessee

Mike Watson

Those who experience a call to ministry in church leadership over a protracted period of time can experience a sense of isolation and confusion in their calling, deeming it less valid. The praxis director recruited four such individuals to pursue clarity in their callings. He does so by having them utilize a clarified vocabulary, an examination of biblical and historical examples of those called of God, and an assessment of spiritual gifting within the context of a small group. As a result, each of the participants was able to identify future steps for pursuing continued clarity in their calling.
