Coffee and Calling

Every pastor, preacher, missionary, and ministry leader is called by God to dedicate a lifetime to the equipping of the people of God for the work of ministry. Each of them have a story of how they were called to ministry. The Coffee and Calling Podcast seeks to capture those stories in a way to inspire and encourage you to lean into your call to ministry. Each week, a new story gets shared over coffee with your hosts Anna Vie and Tyler Sanders. Hear how God is calling all generations to be set apart for the work of equipping the Church to spread His Kingdom on earth.
