Fervent by Priscilla Shirer
Week 10: Strategy 9 — Your Calling
Read Strategy 9 of Fervent by Priscilla Shirer. Key Scriptures: Romans 8:28-30; 2 Timothy 1:9.
There is something specific God has called you to do and to be in this season of your life — and the enemy is working a specific strategy to keep you from it. These questions help you name both the calling and the resistance.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Priscilla distinguishes between your general calling (to love God and love people, which all believers share) and your specific calling (the particular assignment God has for you in this season). How clearly can you articulate what your specific calling is right now?
2.She argues that the enemy concentrates his resistance precisely where God concentrates His assignment — which means the fiercest opposition you are experiencing may actually be a signal that you are close to something important. Where are you experiencing the most resistance, and what might that be pointing to?
3.2 Timothy 1:9 describes God as the One "who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace." What does it mean that your calling is rooted in *His* grace and purpose rather than in your own qualifications?
a.How does insecurity about your qualifications become a weapon in the enemy's hands?
b.What would it look like to step into your calling from grace rather than from performance?
