Welcome to Inside the Call with Pastor Phil Heiser. How does God call his people into ministry? What are the stories and events that have shaped the lives of those who lead our churches? This is a podcast where we go ‘inside the call’ of pastors and ministers. Our goal: to inspire current and future ministers in fulfilling God’s mission around the world. In this seventh episode, Phil visits Pastor Daniel Stenberg. Daniel is pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church in Bergenfield, NJ. I wanted to share Daniel’s story because he is someone still in his first year of pastoral ministry, having graduated from our seminary, the Lutheran Brethren Seminary, in 2017. Daniel also grew up a PK… pastor’s kid. He never thought he would end up behind a pulpit, but God called Daniel into ministry in a variety of ways that you’ll hear in a moment… from Hillcrest Lutheran Academy (our parochial high school in Fergus Falls, MN)… to our youth servant teams, to a post-hardcore band, through it all - God led Daniel to seminary and pastoral ministry. Today, Daniel is learning how to shepherd a congregation in living out the 'Missio Dei'... the Mission of God! Daniel is married to Karen and they have five young boys.
