This is my friend Ben. Ben was one of my supervisors at Starbucks while I was in Kentucky. He has an incredible knowledge of scripture and a passion for Christian history and theology. He had plans to be a college professor but God has different plans for Ben. Several people (including me) indicated to him that perhaps he was called to pastoral ministry. Tonight I got to see Ben deliver his second sermon at his Episcopal Church where he is a layperson. Ben is obviously called to the ministry of Word and Sacrament! Most folks need some help identifying the call in their lives. Perhaps you could be the voice that helps someone else discern God's voice and calling. We need more people in ministry- young and old alike. Please, be courageous and ask the question if you know someone who might be gifted and called, "Have you considered ministry"?
