Landon made a vow to God that he would never pastor. It almost cost him Mercy Culture. In this episode of Spiritual Leadership, Pastor Landon Schott exposes inner vows — the self-made promises that decide what you'll do before God ever speaks. He opens with the vow that nearly kept him out of his calling ("I will never pastor"), the drive through Fort Worth where God answered, "You said that, I didn't," and the 40-day fast that finally broke it.
