"Shepherding / Pastoral" Gifting with Paul Granger

<p>What have you been called to do? Where have you been led to serve?</p> <p>Where did you see God today?</p> <p>In this segment, Paul Granger talks about what "shepherding / pastoral" gifting looks like in his life, we get to learn more about his childhood, what played a pivotal role in his life, and why he does what he does.</p> <p>Paul enjoys sharing what it means to take crazy steps of faith, how to persevere through hardship, and how to hold firm to the belief that "God is God and God is good", no matter the circumstances.<br> <br> See video here - https://youtu.be/4RjyBS788n8</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>WHO IS PAUL?</strong></p> <p>Before anything else, Paul is a child of God and ambassador of Christ. He has learned that these elements of his identity supersede and shape the rest. One of the ways God has invited him to live out the call to "love God and love others" is through the "shepherding gift": providing pastoral support, creating space for conversation and community, and advocating for those that may go unseen.</p> <p>Functionally, he has spent the last two decades serving with various ministries, and now serves full time alongside YWAM in loving his neighbors in authentic ways. He also loves to create, whether it is his podcast "Where did you see God", writings, or videos. He loves spending time with his wife and kids, and they see their home -- which God gave them in a crazy way -- as an important piece of how they love their neighbors as a lifestyle.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>PAUL'S CALL TO ACTION</strong></p> <p>- Inviting Christian introspection: If we are going to say we are following Christ, we should be willing to humbly explore the ways in which we may be following something else and take a step back towards him.</p> <p>- "Love others": the call to love others, love our neighbor, and even love our enemy, is not optional; and yet we are exceptionally good at skirting it.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>PAUL'S CONTACT INFO</strong></p> <p>www.wheredidyouseeGod.com</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>GENESIS
