Every pastor has met a man wrestling with God's call on his life—but not every pastor has a clear plan for walking with him through it. This free companion guide to Follow the Call gives mentors exactly that: a practical, Scripture-grounded framework for having the ten essential conversations every man sensing a call to ministry needs.
Written by Rob Millman and Tim LaFleur, this expanded guide moves beyond theory into real stories—men who said yes to God's call and are now serving as pastors across the country. Each conversation, from The Testimony Conversation to The Next Steps Conversation, includes a clear purpose, key questions to guide dialogue, and biblical grounding to help mentors discern character, gifting, burden, and readiness in the men they disciple.
Inside, you'll find:
A four-step framework for every conversation: Pray, Listen, Ask, Take the Next Step
Ten structured conversations covering testimony, calling, character, gifting, Scripture, obedience, burden, church, development, and next steps
Real-life testimonies of men currently serving in pastoral ministry
A bonus section, "I See Something in You," with practical tools for identifying and coaching emerging leaders
The ABCs of Recruiting Leaders: Observe, Believe, Challenge
This isn't a formula—it's a relational, Spirit-led approach to raising up the next generation of pastors. Whether you're mentoring one man or building a culture of leadership development in your church, this guide equips you to walk alongside those God is calling.
