Ep. 119 - No Turning Back: Elisha’s Call and Our Temptation to Stay Safe (1 Kings 19:15-21) ft. Gabe Hartfield, Libby VanSolkema, Stephanie Teslaa, Tryg Veker
Description
We sit down with former Crossroads Pastor and church planter Gabe Hartfield (Visible Church) to discuss this Sunday's sermon. Is it possible that God's voice more often leads us into mystery than into safety? In this episode, we unpack Elisha’s radical response to God’s call—leaving behind wealth, family, and stability in a dramatic act of irreversible obedience. We reflect on Elijah’s fear in 1 Kings 19 and how God gently redirected him rather than rebuking him. Elisha doesn’t just recognize God’s call—he runs after it, burns his plows, and refuses to leave a path back. Gabe shares his own journey from ministry success to depression, and the costly decision to follow God forward instead of clinging to the past.
