Lots of good discussion (both here and in our 48 Days group) about overcoming fears and taking action when pursuing our callings. So...I wanted to start a separate, specific discussion about…Continue

For the first time in a few years I have a completely blank slate, no job, no career goals, I can't go back to school for a while--possibly a good good while, so I'm just kind of..here. I have looked…Continue

Comment by Carrieann Welton on October 3, 2012 at 4:30pm: Pursuing your calling from God day to day is where ever your heart is content in him...for me its cleaning my home or taking the time out for my kids and even taking them to there appts. or making the time for my neighbor as much as a simple hello!

Comment by Dan Ferren on October 3, 2012 at 3:53pm: Unbeknownst to me, God had a plan and I became the pastor of a small country church this past Easter.

Comment by Deb Stevens on April 21, 2012 at 10:28pm: just recently i discovered that i had been ministering to a few young ladies over the course of a couple days - how exhausting! then i realized that i just needed to fellowship and reload REALLY BAD lol. So i came back here :)

Comment by Brent Green on January 6, 2012 at 2:48pm: Mari - Thanks for sharing the video....and for sharing your heart. My wife and I also work with immigrants and we love it. What are some of the things you'll do w/ your immigrant friend? We find that they are almost always open, friendly, and very curious about American culture - basically, there's an open door to love these folks because of their openness :)

Comment by Brent Green on November 30, 2011 at 7:39pm: Mike - thanks for offering Bryan some encouragement....

Comment by Mike G on November 30, 2011 at 7:25pm: Bryan ... You must have a passion for working with troubled teens. What a need there is there! This passion is very possibly what God has put inside of you to see it to fruition. You also mentioned a vision for it. Faith, Vision & Passion -- a wonderful foundation for going forward.

Concerning leadership, this can be developed. My favorite book on this is: John Maxwell's Developing the Leader Within You. Consider getting a copy. I think you will (and probably have been) be able to put many things to use right away in your position in the army.

Secondly, there is a great resource of messages on the topic at the Discipleship Library by the Navigators. Free downloadable messages on many, many topics. Do a search for "leadership." There you will find author/speakers like J. Oswald Sanders of China Inland Missions, Paul Stanley -- 1960 West Point Graduate and missionary to Eastern Europe & Russia during communism, Leroy Eims--a Marine--who wrote a very instructive book called The Lost Art of Disciple Making, and many, many more.

Finally, pray for a mentor. There has to be someone out there who would love to take someone like you and help him along in the area of leadership. They've been down many roads before and some great lessons to share. Then, keep on the lookout for that man.

Thanks for your service in the military!

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!" Eph 3:20

Comment by Brent Green on November 30, 2011 at 3:47pm: Bryan - Thanks for jumping into the group. Any chance you'd be willing to start a separate discussion? That way...you'll get a better response to your questions/ideas.

Comment by Bryan Seyffert on October 11, 2011 at 8:14am: Pondering.. spent alot of time considering my calling. I feel very strongly that i am meant to help people.. teens.. I have a reoccurring thought of a teen center. A place for teens from rough family lives and neighborhoods to come and find some peace.. have thought so far throu it as to name it and talk to school officials in the area.. but i lack the confidence to be a leader at this point in my life as well i am military so it would have to wait for the contract to end.. One day... I think...

Comment by Brent Green on August 23, 2011 at 9:36pm: Greetings group members! Hope you are having a good week :)

Comment by Brent Green on July 25, 2011 at 9:43am: Hi David -

Thanks for your honesty....we've all had struggles in identifying our callings. I'd suggest starting w/ some of the discussions here (what others have told you that you are good at, recurring themes, etc). We've also got a group that's quite a bit more active in the 48 Days community (http://www.48days.net/group/pursuingyourcalling) where the discussions are a bit more focused on how our callings tie into careers.
