START TALKING:
This week, we explored what it truly means to be called. The focus wasn't whether we're called—but what we’re called to: salvation, sanctification, and service. Paul reminds us in Ephesians 4:1 to “live a life worthy of the calling you have received.” That calling shapes our identity and our mission.
