What Does Burden Have to Do With Calling?
Sometimes a burden leads a person to significantly shift direction.
This week on LiveCalled Today, pastor Cody Jensen, whose Southern California church recently went through LFM’s Visioning Process, shares from God’s Word. Looking at Nehemiah 1-2, Cody explores how Nehemiah moved out of a place of comfort and safety into the unfamiliar and the risky because of his God-given burden. This Old Testament man conveyed a vision, gathered the necessary people and resources, and walked the vision through to fulfillment.
