The heart of the resource

What this series helps you lead

Calling is not reserved for adults with a title. This series introduces eight young people in Scripture whose ordinary faithfulness mattered.

Every week pairs a biblical story with a concrete invitation: stay faithful, speak up, stand firm, rebuild, say yes, give, or go.
