Ministry is an Epic Quest - Karl Bastian Podcast 227
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why do we love the Epic Stories in books and films? Because deep down, we long to go on a quest - with a band of friends, secret map or guide in hand, learn from a wise old mentor and battle an enemy that seems overwhelming, but can be battled if we travel with friends.
In this episode, Karl presents ministry as an Epic Quest - and compares the things needed on the journey of these stories, with the things we need in ministry to keep on going.
A quest needs a map… trusted companions… a wise guide who’s been down the road before… and the right tools for the challenges ahead.
Along the way, there will be obstacles, unexpected detours, and even a few battles.
But there will also be victories, moments of awe, and reminders that you’re part of something far bigger than yourself.
This episode isn’t a pitch—it’s an invitation.
To stop walking alone. To find your people. To be equipped for the road ahead.
And maybe… to let Karl walk alongside you on your journey.
Listen now and take your next step forward.
MENTIONED ON THE SHOW: Karl's sermon (dressed as a Jedi) The Epic Story of Your Life.
