Episode 26: Conflict & Calling – When the Mission Gets Messy
In this powerful episode of Growing in Grace, Matt and Pastor Brandon unpack Acts 15–16, where conflict and calling collide in the early church. Paul and Barnabas—two spiritual giants—go their separate ways, but instead of derailing the mission, God uses the moment to multiply it.
This conversation explores how disagreements, closed doors, and personal limitations can actually move God's purposes forward when we stay surrendered and available. Together, Matt and Brandon dive into:
-
Why conflict doesn't have to mean disqualification
-
How to hold both grace and truth in church leadership
-
The difference between contextualization and compromise
-
What to do when clarity is missing but calling still stirs
-
And how every believer—no matter their past—can step into God's mission
If you've ever wrestled with uncertainty, church hurt, or a sense of spiritual "stuckness," this episode will challenge you to keep moving forward in faith, even when the path isn't clear.
Listen now and discover how God uses even the tension we hate to accomplish the purpose we pray for.
