5-4-25 - Evolving for a Purpose: What Carnivorous Plants Teach Us About Calling

The readings for this week for the Second Sunday of Easter are Acts 9:1-6, (7-20), Psalm 30, Revelation 5:11-14, and John 21:1-19.  This week we look at carnivorous plants.  These plants have had to adapt to poor soil conditions where nutrients are at a premium, these plants have evolved to figure out ways to survive.  They adapted to these conditions.  Jesus' disciples had to adapt to the new conditions of Jesus no longer being there and transitioning to leading the movement.  We all need to continue to learn how we can continue to evolve and change as well in our ministries.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.
