The language and idea of "calling" sometimes gets thrown around a lot in Christian circles. Not everything we tend to think or say about calling in our particular Christian subculture is necessarily rooted in the witness of Scripture. In this episode, Chris tackles four myths about calling that sometimes surface:
Myth #1: You only have one, lifelong calling.
Myth #2: Calling is first and foremost about what God wants you to do.
Myth #3: Calling and passion are the same thing.
Myth #4: Calling is about what God wants, not what I want.
When we take a critical look at these myths in the light of Scripture, we see that God is inviting us—and calling us!—into something better.
