To hear the call of God or the call to discipleship necessitates education in understanding and discernment. Never be afraid of the thing that is vague, the biggest things in life are vague as far as expression goes, but they are realities." Chambers, O. (1996, c1946). He shall glorify me : Talks on t

I love this video. We used it in our discipleship model presentation last week.
