Following God Into Hard Places: Hammond McEver
How do you know your calling? Do you have the right calling if you hit roadblocks and opposition?
Today, Jonathan welcomes a longtime friend, Hammond McEver, who shares his story of prayerfully considering and answering God’s call to disciple and help educate inner-city children.
Hammond shares how the Lord led him to break idols of personal achievement and comfort in favor of God’s call to disciple children in desperate need of care and direction. If you are struggling to hear God’s voice or accept His call, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
Hammond McEver has a Master of Arts in Religion from Reformed Theological Seminary and is the founder of Thrive Academy in Atlanta, GA.
