Summer Series: Steve Garber on Calling & Vocation
Manage episode 428541781 series 2988968
Summer is a great time to rest, enjoy the nice weather, and listen to your favorite podcasts. Tune into the Faith & Work Podcast as we kick off a four-part summer series featuring some of our best content filled with practical takeaways and great insights.
For our third encore episode this summer, we explore key questions about calling. How do we discover our calling? What's the difference between our occupation and our vocation? Can they even be the same thing?
This interview was recorded at one of Denver Institute's earliest events where author, educator, and organizational leader Steven Garber, joins us to talk about a broader vision for vocation.
Highlights
On exploring my calling:
"This question of 'my calling before God and service to the world' has to be marked by a deep honest sense of humility."
On vocation and occupation:
"I make a distinction between vocation and occupation: vocation is the deeper, longer word that makes sense of your life and mine. It's the deeper reality. It's the deeper story that makes sense of who you are, that makes sense of why you are different than your brother and your father and your best friend and your wife and your neighbor...Occupation is a word that gets at what I do day-by-day."
On the tension of work:
"Everybody, everywhere has some sense of tension between what I think I was meant to do, what I really want to do, and what I have to do."
