156: Seminary, Video, and the Bigger Picture - A Calling Story (with Gabriel Klein)
Have you ever felt pressure to figure out your whole life? Do you ever wonder what God is doing when you look at the fragmented pieces of your story? Gabriel Klein, TeachBeyond member in Brazil, shares how God has led him from a teenage dream to play in a band to go to seminary, learn video editing, and become a missionary.
- “For lots of students, what impacts them the most is listening to other students talking about what happened, talking about how God changed them, how God worked in their lives. So right now I have the chance to be the one listening to the stories and like recording them and editing and sharing them.”
- “What God is doing is a lot bigger than what I can see and what I can put in a two-minute video.”
- “God uses different things to transform people’s lives… God uses our gifts, no matter how different they are.”
- “I don't need to have this huge crisis every time I need to make a decision because He's taking care of it.”
- “It’s not about what I do but about being someone that loves Him and growing in my relationship with Him, and remembering that He is doing it and not me. It’s His job, it’s His ministry, it’s His story, after all. I’m just a part of it.”
- “I was looking at my calling and my future as something that was like a mystery that I needed to try to solve so that I could understand God's will for my life. Right now, I can see that He has been guiding me all the way through here, through all these transitions, through all these different jobs and different experiences.”
