    Dr. Ward’s definitions definitely resonated with me. Not that i had previously defined them. The one aspect that i am still struggling with is the externality of the calling. I am looking forward to learning more about that.

    I have held the belief that anyone who has influence can lead so I agree with Dr.Wards definition. Ministry for believers is wherever they are planted. Calling is a knowing you have been set apart for something God wants you to complete by His design.

    I always felt that I was called to be a 911 operator, which I did for 22 years. Now, I am retired, live in the country with a husband, 2 dogs and a garden. My life is very different now but I still hope God has another calling for me. Watching Dr. Ward’s video has shown me that I should always expect the unexpected from God. “A calling” isn’t always something that involves saving lives and helping others in need of medical or police assistance. After watching Dr. Ward, it occurs to me that the coffee group that I started with other ladies in my community in order to aid another who had a diagnosis of Dementia get out of her house and have conversations with other women might be a form of “calling”.

    Defining leadership as influence and not necessarily your “position” or “role” is a powerful way to reevaluate everything that you do.

    Her definitions of ministry and calling align with mine, yes.

    AND, if I compare her definition of leadership to mine, there is similarity.

    My definition of leadership is using your influence to remove obstacles so others can succeed.
