Real Grownups, Part 3: Finding Your Calling (first aired 9-27-17)

Do you ever wonder why you're here or even feel disconnected from yourself?  These things can happen at different levels, but everybody wants to have a sense of purpose in life.  In church, we often talk about this as finding or discerning a calling.  We can get bogged down in figuring out what ministry or career we are supposed to engage or where we should live, etc.  Cinthia explains, however, that finding the calling on your life is not primarily about figuring out what to do; it's about learning to be who you are supposed to be.  The big question is not what you are supposed to do with your life, but who you are and how you do whatever it is that you do.  God supplies the "what" and takes over the itinerary.  So how do we learn who to be and how to steward the selves that God has given us?  We start by learning to take responsibility for ourselves physically, psychologically/ emotionally, intellectually, spiritually, and socially.  This helps us reconnect with the people God made us to be.  Learning to be emotional adults involves learning to care for ourselves as people that God loves; this makes us capable of following the calling he gives us as He reveals it.  It may not sound as exciting as getting a revelation about the career or ministry God has for us, but learning to grow up makes us ready for anything He wants to do.  Join Cinthia to keep growing and moving toward ready.
