REFRAMING VOCATION (Draft)
Determining your vocation is a difficult task. It can often be confusing, frustrating, and even scary. Am I really supposed to do just one thing for the rest of my life?
What if God has a different plan for your vocation? And what if your vocation is not something you are solely called to, but rather something you are formed into? What tools would you need to design that vocation?
Reframing Vocation, a 6-lesson module, will lead you through a process to understand your vocation differently using Fuller's model of Vocation Formation and Life Design tools co-developed by Dave. Through a series of exercises, they will help you better understand how to approach your vocation and how to invite God into the process of forming it.
