But it doesn’t work like that. Saying yes opens us up to a unique set of mysteries that we uncover as we go. And sometimes that mysterious future can make it really hard to say yes to Jesus.Today, we’re wrapping up our series on common barriers to calling with a conversation about the future. Joanne and Lucas have returned one more time to help us wrestle with this particular barrier. And they’re going to encourage us to say yes to the one who firmly holds our future in his hands and has invited us to trust him with it.RELATED EPISODE(S)Post-Graduation Disorientation and the Power of Perseverance (E173) - Apple, YouTube, Spotify, STAY IN TOUCHSocials: @afterivpodVisit our Website","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/h6Gsmv-G_aH5EeYb3vSSDgBJZ9whnCiHyAa9fFOMpXs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kYjg0/NmJiZDQ5NzYyNGQ0/NzFiMjhmMjA5NjEx/NjUxYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
