- Practical skills such as technology use, biblical study and money management are essential parts of calling.
- Believers are urged to walk worthy of their calling by being fruitful and avoiding complacency and lukewarmness.

“Insecure people will never be able to be used to the full potential that God created them to be.”
What makes a recovery story truly inspiring? Here, Bishop Lance Johnson shares a fiery message for people who sense a call from God but feel stuck, limited or scared to step forward. Coming from a past of alcohol and drug addiction, he speaks directly to those who know there's a mandate on their life yet feel blocked by insecurity, lack of education, fear of change or old church wounds.
Johnson explains that "for unto whosoever much is given of him shall much be required," stressing that gifts and anointing alone aren't enough. You'll hear him challenge believers to let God change their habits, thinking and skills so their calling can grow.
That includes practical areas: learning technology, becoming a better student of the Bible, dealing wisely with money, and refusing to hide behind excuses like "I'm just bad with money" or "I just can't speak in front of people." He states bluntly, "Insecure people will never be able to be used to the full potential that God created them to be," linking insecurity to control, fear of delegation and clinging to comfortable roles in church.
Using the life of David, he shows how early victories as a shepherd were preparation for facing Goliath and eventually becoming king, warning that you can't stay stuck in "shepherd" season if God is calling you higher. Throughout the message, Johnson repeats that believers are called to "walk worthy" of their calling, to be fruitful and allow the Holy Spirit to transform every limiting trait.
He warns against complacency and lukewarmness that come from refusing change, urging people to step out of comfort zones and trust God to heal past hurts and stretch their capacity. The episode closes with a passionate prayer, asking God to break excuses, fear and mental barriers so people can reach the full potential he intended.
If you've ever felt called but held back by your past, your confidence or your skills, this message may be the nudge to ask: what part of you is God ready to change today?
