Do you wonder if you have a call to ministry but find yourself hesitating at the crossroads? You’re not alone. Many of us seek absolute certainty before taking such a significant step, but clear-cut signs—like a thunderous voice from above—are rare.
Welcome to Discerning: Exploring a Call to Ministry, your guide to navigating the nuanced process of vocational discernment. This course is designed for anyone contemplating a path in ministry, whether in an ordained capacity or as a dedicated volunteer.
Each module is crafted to challenge you, inspire reflection, and help you map out your potential next steps. We’ll address key questions about Christian vocation (spoiler alert: we all have one, whether or not it leads to full-time ministry!) and share transformative spiritual practices. These tools will help you discover where your unique gifts and passions align with God’s call on your life.
Ready to embark on this journey of discernment? Join us as we explore what ministry might mean for you. It’s time to transform your ponderings into purposeful action.
