Called To Something Epic

In this episode of *Truth Be Told*, we take a look at a danger that can quietly creep into the lives of Christians: familiarity.

Because Christianity is so deeply woven into our culture, our families, and even our personal histories, it can sometimes begin to feel ordinary. We go to church, say our prayers, try to live good lives—and somewhere along the way, we can lose our sense of wonder.

We forget the incredible reality of what we have been called into.

The early Christians experienced this struggle as well. Many faced persecution, hardship, division, and uncertainty. They were scattered throughout the world and often looked at their circumstances and wondered where they fit in God’s plan. But Peter begins his first epistle by reminding them of something far greater than their immediate situation: they were not forgotten people living meaningless lives.

They were chosen by God, called according to His purpose, redeemed by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and brought into a salvation that generations of prophets longed to see. Peter reminds believers that this salvation was not a small or ordinary thing—it was the fulfillment of a plan that stretched across history.

It was something even angels longed to understand. Their circumstances may have been difficult, but their spiritual reality was extraordinary.

In this episode, we explore how passages like 1 Peter and Hebrews 11 challenge us to recover our amazement at the Christian life. The heroes of faith were still waiting for the completion of God’s promises, because God had planned something even greater that included us.

Our faith is not mundane. Our calling is not ordinary. The fact that Christianity may feel familiar does not mean God is common, boring, or small.

It means we have the privilege of living in the reality that generations before us hoped to see. Join us as we remember the epic truth of what it means to be called by God.
