Do you ever wonder if you were created for a specific purpose in life? That's the logic of having a calling. It extends to communities as well as individuals.
This week we're joined by Jane Patterson and Jesse Bazan of Communities of Calling-A network of congregations and organizations working on calling in their own contexts with the aim of revitalizing the church’s mission in the world today. They'll share their unique insights into the interplay between one's calling and the context in which we live.
In this episode, you'll learn about:
- Theologies of work and calling
- How to discern your calling
- How callings evolve
- Whether purpose makes someone happy and cheerful
- Questions about having a vocation
