You Have a Calling!
Summary
In this episode, we speak of our faith by exploring the reality and concept of a calling of faith. We discuss how all of God's people - not just those who take holy orders - have a calling and bust some myths about the idea of a calling. Having a calling is not about "getting it right," but about being in a relationship with God and growing in faith. Calls are ever-evolving, so we talk about how we always need to be tuned in to the Spirit to see where we're being called next. We conclude with encouragement and a reminder to seek and live out your calling in your community.
