Responding to the Unexpected Call

The hero's journey begins with a call to adventure, which often prompts fear and hesitation. However, heroism is proven when the call is embraced in spite of uncertainty. Mary exemplified this by responding to God’s unexpected call with faith, even as she faced doubts, fears, and questions about the unknown. Her story reminds us that while God’s plans may feel overwhelming, we are invited to trust in Him, knowing He walks with us in our struggles and doubt. Community, like Elizabeth's encouragement to Mary, helps us reframe our fears into faith, offering a godly perspective that reveals God's blessings amidst the challenges.
