Called by God… But Feeling Completely Unqualified

In this episode of Going Deeper, we explore what it really means to be called by God—and why that calling often feels overwhelming, uncomfortable, and even a little terrifying.

Looking at the stories of Isaiah and Jeremiah, we see two people who didn’t feel ready, qualified, or worthy… yet God called them anyway. From Isaiah’s “woe is me” moment to Jeremiah’s hesitation, we wrestle with the same question today: 👉 What does it look like to respond to God’s call in our own lives?
We also take a deeper look at passages like Jeremiah 29:11 in their proper context, discussing how God’s promises often come in the middle of difficulty—not instead of it.
If you’ve ever wondered: “Is God calling me to something?”
“What if I’m not ready?”
“How do I even know?”
This conversation is for you.

In this episode of the Going Deeper Podcast, Kyle, Doug, and Marie talk about Moses and the Exodus and how God's plan for saving his people reveals how he wants a relationship with his people more than he wants a nation of rule followers.

In this episode of Going Deeper, we begin our Christian Bible study series on the Top Ten Bible Stories by examining Genesis 1–11—the creation story, the fall, the flood, and the Tower of Babel. These foundational chapters of the Book of Genesis shape the entire story of Scripture, pointing us toward God’s work of bringing order out of chaos and ultimately toward Christ. At Trinity Methodist Church, our mission to L.I.V.E. begins with Learning and applying God’s Word, and studying Genesis helps us understand who we are, why the world is broken, and how we faithfully respond as stewards of God’s story. Whether you are new to Bible study or have read Genesis many times, this conversation invites you to see why the beginning still matters.

The Problem with Counting Church Attendance
Wednesday Apr 16, 2025
Wednesday Apr 16, 2025
Why do we get so caught up in numbers—especially in ministry? In 1 Chronicles 21, King David orders a census that seems innocent enough, but God sees it differently. The fallout is massive, yet from the wreckage comes the foundation for something holy: the future site of the Temple. In this episode, we unpack what David's story teaches us about trust, pride, and the hidden dangers of measuring success the wrong way.
