For some, the idea of discerning one’s call is synonymous with finding the right job, but the Biblical notion of calling is much grander. God’s calling engages the whole of our lives and was never meant to be isolated to one small aspect of it. When we open ourselves up to God’s lead, we can’t… Read More »TRELLIS: Reviving Calling
