The Calling Lab

The idea of a believer's calling has been discussed countless times over the centuries, especially during these last few decades. The 'Who am I?' postmodern worldview shapes much of our thinking and the Christian’s thoughts aren’t exempt. We, especially those in their twenties, often return to the question: "What was I made to do?" So pervasive is this question, some call it the quarter life crisis. 

Modern life inundates us with the 'could do's' and 'should do's' which are presented seemingly innocently by friends, family, and sometimes strangers. To make things even more difficult, some of us make up our own agendas and obligations so overwhelmingly that we can feel pulled any which way. For others, dreaming is more an estranged practice, like trying to learn a foreign language. Fortunately, these questions and feelings of purpose aren’t outside God’s plan. In fact, these longings and considerations occupy our mind because they are a vestige of God’s original intention for humanity. We see this most clearly as we survey the pages of scripture and notice the repeating theme of calling throughout the entirety of the Bible. Our task is to take these questions and come to understand them in light of God’s direction and plan. This is where the Calling Lab comes in.

The Calling Lab has been designed as a tool. It’s an instrument that will assist you in discerning the voice of God amidst the other voices demanding your attention. Throughout this Lab, you’ll be working through various aspects that will enable you to understand your unique calling God has for you. Some have left this Calling Lab with a better understanding of what they need to to next to further understand their calling. Others have walked away with a clear sense of what God is leading them into for the next season of life and some have come to discover their life calling. But, whatever the outcome, it is an immensely useful way to spend a day with others considering these questions! Come join us on Saturday October 19th.
