Position of Neutrality: Accepting the Calling in Steps 10 & 11 AA Understanding Your Calling It’s Not About Deserving
About this episode
Join Joe McDonald as he delves into the deeper spiritual aspects of Steps 10 & 11 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe challenges the common phrase, “better than I deserve,” emphasizing that our calling has nothing to do with what we deserve—it’s about embracing the purpose we were chosen for.
“Deserves got nothing to do with it. I hear people all the time say, ‘better than I deserve.’ You don’t know nothing. It’s above your pay grade. You have no idea what your calling is. It has nothing to do with deserve. He chooses who He chooses, and the chosen don’t choose. You accept the calling or you don’t, but you didn’t choose it. That’s what He says in His book—not this one, but another one. It’s been my experience. He said, ‘I chose you before the creation of the world,’ is what He said.”
Joe’s insight encourages viewers to focus on living out their purpose with humility and faith, regardless of perceived worthiness.
