Doug talks about how the disciples picked someone to replace Judas based primarily on God’s sufficiency to anoint ordinary people. He addresses how each of us can be the 12th apostle. A great show for anyone who doesn’t feel qualified to move forward in his or her calling.
When I was “called” to Ministry my church stopped talking/fellowshipping with my wife and I! As if our Pastors were the only ones qualified! Tests your Faith and whether you really heard from God! When asking for support(Prayer) it was as if we asked for the tithing basket or their first born! Like, who are you! Well needless to say we pressed in for nearly five years serving at a local convalescent home Sunday Church and mid week Bible Study! This was very fulfilling but somewhat lonely and we fought thinking we wanted recognition! Our service was in obedience to the Lord! Serving the “Least of the these”Matt 25:40. So life and Faith go on.
