About this episode
We live in an age that has domesticated God. For many, He is a therapeutic sentiment, a cosmic affirmation, a principle of personal growth. He is a God who would never dare to interrupt your regularly scheduled programming. He is a God who can be managed, contained, and summoned by our spiritual techniques or emotional needs. He is, in short, a God made in our own image, which is to say, no God at all. But the biblical doctrine of calling is nothing of the sort. It is not a journey of self-discovery, but a divine invasion. It is not something you find; it is something that finds you. And it usually finds you when you least expect it, in the last place you would think to look. He tried to be Israel's deliverer in his own strength, with his own sword, and the result was murder and exile.
