There are times when God calls us to do something that, quite honestly, we don’t feel qualified to do. And then when we do step out in faith, it’s amazing how the critics come out of the woodwork wanting to tear us down.

You’ve been there, right? God calls you into something that you’re so unsure of and when you do take that leap of faith, people think you’re crazy.

When I felt called out of my lucrative consulting career into what one of my business partners called “the gentile poverty of ministry”, there were any number of people – some of them quite close to me – who tried to talk me out of it.
