Summary
The key idea of the video is that discovering and fulfilling one’s ministry involves stepping out, trying new things, and being obedient to God in both small and big matters.
- 👂 It’s important to have a normal perspective and not overcomplicate being led by the Holy Spirit in order to hear from God and find His will for your life, as every Christian is called into ministry and most of the work is done one-on-one outside of church.
- 🔍 Discovering your ministry involves stepping out and trying different things, as God may have multiple ways for you to manifest your ministry before setting you apart for a special task, so don’t be afraid to step out and try new things, even if they may not seem attractive or valuable, because God tests our attitude and willingness to obey, and just because something doesn’t work out doesn’t mean it was a mistake, as finding out what God wants you to do doesn’t always involve direct communication, but rather involves trying, praying, and doing things, as God’s guidance is often more normal than supernatural.
