Attending the Called To Influence course was, for me, like placing seasoned logs onto a bed of hot coals! I began the journey glowing quietly beneath the surface, but with each teaching and each conversation, another log was added to the hearth of my spirit, causing it to burn hotter and brighter as the weeks went by. Karen crafted an environment that was both varied and engaging. The blend of Scripture-based workbook study, video teaching, group sharing, breakout rooms, reflective pauses, and practical feedback created a rhythm that worked beautifully for me. The group was diverse as some participants were rooted in regular church life, while others, like myself, no longer attend a fellowship. However, none of that stood in the way of connection. We met one another with mutual respect and were united by the shared desire to be faithful ambassadors of the Kingdom of God in our everyday lives. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone, new believers and seasoned followers of Christ alike, who longs to deepen their walk with Him and influence the world around them in practical, Spirit-led ways.
