8 Questions
A few weeks ago Mike Erie, one of our pastors, shared 8 questions that have helped him figure out what God was calling him to, how to know if something was a God-sized dream or more of a personal goal, and how to decipher between hard choices. He didn’t come up with the questions. In fact, these questions were asked to him by 4 or 5 other pastors, leaders, and friends.
He was very clear that...
