Today I’ve got Daniel Gilliland with me. Daniel is a mid-20s seminary graduate who feels a calling from the Lord to preach the Word, teach others about God and pastor believers through their daily walk. But he hasn’t gotten “the job” -- the position at a church or in a ministry that would traditionally look like the fulfillment of a call. And that’s a hard place to be. Let’s dive in.  Amplify is a product of TAB Media, hosted by Maggie Evans and produced by Hannah Muñoz.   Did you know that Amplify has its own channel?

Today I’ve got Sarah Law with me. Ten years ago on April 27, 62 tornadoes tore across Alabama, resulting in 250 deaths, years of rebuilding and countless lives upended. One of the churches that was heavily damaged was First Baptist Church of Fultondale, which is where Sarah grew up. It’s also where she now works. Sarah has a history with FBC Fultondale and tornadoes that has led her to some truths about God’s character.
