Episode 012 - Marinating with Two Grammy Winners and a Pastor
Last week we shared Pastor Derwin’s candid conversation with Fantasia. As they were wrapping up their recording KJ Scriven, creative arts pastor at Transformation Church, walked in and they began having a conversation about ministry and mission. What happens when you say yes to God’s call? We hit record so we could share this important exchange with you all. We hope you enjoy this conversation and marinate on what it means to be “in ministry” and live on mission.
Notes:
Fantasia asked, “When you decided to say yes to answer God’s call (to vocational ministry) were you tested constantly?”

“You have to learn the difference between what is good and what is God-ordained.” - KJ Scriven.
“My job as a pastor is not to use people but to work with the Holy Spirit to improve people, develop them as disciples.” - Dr. Derwin Gray.
Your character must be ahead of your gifting.
You need community who will lift you up as you answer the call to ministry.

God is speaking the loudest when you think He’s quiet. He has already spoken in His Word.
KJ shared Romans 8:28-29. The goal is to change YOU and conform you to the image of Christ, looking more like Jesus.
Looking more like Jesus is the fruit of the spirit. How is God shaping you to be more like Him?
