349. Helping the Called on Their Leadership Journeys

"God didn't call the perfect version of you, the version that has years of experience or the version that has it all figured out." writes John Zick. "In fact, He has no desire for a version of you that does not desperately need him. Paul understood this when he said in 2 Corinthians 12:9 [NLT], 'I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.'"

In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Zick about being called into ministry, recognizing personal imperfections, and learning from others on the leadership journey.

I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host.

John Zick is an ordained Assemblies of God minister, director of the AG's Called initiative, and editor of From Leaders For Leaders: A Guide for Those Called Into Ministry, published by GPH.
