Imagine being a top performer in a practical role you thought would be good for you. As a top performer, you are by all “standard” definitions a “productive” person.

Christian Life Calling9: 3 Ways to Look at WorkThis thing called the Great Resignation is gaining more and more attention in the United States. People have resigned from jobs in record numbers in this year alone, with one reason being that people are not treating work as the Ultimate anymore.

People in this current society are more invested in developing and prioritizing other parts of their life. More value is placed on purpose these days. People look at what they are m...2021-08-2426 min
Christian Life Calling8: Bryan Dik - Work and CallingDoes your job reflect the big picture purpose you feel called to live out? Each person exists to live out their unique gifts, and a unique calling. There’s a misconception of a calling being one, singular event. In actuality, calling continues as life develops. Some people will experience their calling in combination with professional work. This can cause others to seek a match between job and purpose, but is there always an intersection of professional work and calling? Today’s guest, Bryan Dik, Ph.D., discusses why calling is an on-going pursuit, identifying calling, and the scie...2021-08-1731 min
Christian Life Calling7: What Your Unplanned Time Is SayingEvery now and then, life takes a spontaneous turn that frees up space in your daily schedule. Maybe a meeting was postponed. Maybe a friend had to cancel lunch at the last minute. Suddenly a gap of time is in the schedule. What you do with that unplanned time says something about you. At first, you may find yourself blanking on what to do. It’s possible you subconsciously move on to a random task. Imagine if that time was used intentionally. This approach of paying attention to unplanned time is what I am discussing today. I...2021-08-1015 min
Christian Life Calling6: But what if you fly?Many times, we know the next step but we don’t want to take it. It’s not that we’re indecisive, it’s that we talk ourselves out of making a choice. We let the next step linger. Yet, what could be holding us back? Let’s figure out how to move forward from where we are hesitant and stuck. Failure is a common reason people find themselves avoiding the next step, so today I talk about taking big and small steps towards larger goals.

Christian Life Calling5: Josh Davis - Winning GoldTo get the most out of life, find the combination in identity that overlaps desire, needs, and service.

Christian Life Calling3: What is Life Calling?Every now and then, you’ll be in the middle of a task that has a natural flow.

Some people know what they want to pursue already, and live according to that passion. Some people are still in the process of dis...2021-07-1325 minChristian Life Calling2: True to YourselfLet’s talk about having no regrets and going all in for your one true life.

In theory, we’d be more than happy to live our true life, but sometimes that transition comes with obstacles. Shouldn’t living our true life be an easy thing? Thinking about this theme, I realize a transformation calls...2021-07-0622 minChristian Life Calling1: Welcome to Life Calling TodayGoing through life, we sometimes wander aimlessly after letting society or situations have more influence than our own instincts.
