Preparation is essential in every aspect of life. Preparation is essential in the pursuit of waterfowl and that journey that unfolds from doing so. The issue or the difficulty of it all is that preparation is a process. In the midst of a culture and world where self gratification and instant results is sought out, it is uncomfortable. A process can be lengthy and challenges a person mentally, physically, and spiritually. The tools and knowledge of being able to prepare is not always handed to you, but are always available through seeking. Every step of preparation is for something greater, some type of goal that is wanting to be achieved by doing so. Just as the goal of having a game tote full of birds requires preparation, so does the goal of sharing the gospel, the good news of Jesus, in hopes that folks would come to know him.
“To prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.”
Jesus prepared God’s people for works of service. He did so for his kingdom, his body, and his mission would be built up and sent out. Jesus did not come down to earth for mere enjoyment or adventure. He came with purpose and for a glorious love story. That is what we desire here at More Than A Calling and what God has given us the clarity to do for his kingdom; to prepare you for discipleship opportunities, tough conversations, and sharing the gospel throughout the waterfowl community.
