In this stirring episode of The Greater Call Podcast, host Mark Immelman welcomes Norrie Steyn—former college golfer turned global ministry leader—to unpack the incredible faith journey of Abraham. Through storytelling, Scripture, and heartfelt reflection, Mark and Norrie explore what it truly means to follow God when obedience doesn’t make sense.

Together they connect Abraham’s story to modern life and leadership—what it looks like to leave comfort behind, to trust God’s timing, and to obey even when logic says otherwise. From Abraham’s call to leave home, to his willingness to sacrifice Isaac, the conversation dives deep into faith, family, identity, and the courage to believe in the impossible.

You’ll also hear Norrie’s inspiring testimony—from his roots in South Africa and college golf dreams to a full-time calling in ministry—and how God’s faithfulness transforms “irrational obedience” into life-changing purpose.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why Abraham’s obedience seemed irrational—but changed everything
  • How God’s promises stretch beyond what we can imagine
  • The difference between identity and assignment in leadership
  • What true faith looks like when comfort is left behind
  • How impatience can distort God’s plan—and the peace found in trusting His timing
  • The link between obedience, joy, and eternal purpose
  • Why Abraham’s story reminds us that we’re never past our “sell-by date” for God’s calling
