Key Takeaways:

1. Understanding Your Calling: Many of us feel a strong spiritual calling but may not know what it is or how it aligns with our current job. It's okay to feel this way. The important part is acknowledging that God has a purpose for you beyond your nine-to-five.
2. Navigating Bi-Vocational Life: It's common to juggle multiple roles—working a regular job while also pursuing ministry or other callings. The key is learning how to balance these responsibilities effectively.
3. Finding Overlap Between Career and Calling:

• Look for ways your career skills and your spiritual gifts intersect. Are you a great project manager? Are you gifted in working with people? Identify the strengths God has given you and see how they show up in your work.
• Use a Venn diagram to visualize the overlap between your career and calling. On one side, list aspects of your career; on the other, list your spiritual gifts and callings. In the middle, find the common ground.

Biblical Inspiration – The Apostle Paul: Paul is a prime example of balancing career and calling. While he traveled, preached, and planted churches, he also worked as a tentmaker. His life shows us that it’s possible to fulfill both a career and a spiritual calling simultaneously. Encouragement for Those Struggling in Their Jobs: If you’re in a job you dislike, remember that God has placed you there for a reason. Seek strength in prayer and look for ways to align your daily work with your higher calling. Practical Steps to Align Career and Calling:

• Reflect on your strengths and gifts.
• Identify ways to integrate your calling into your current job.
• Seek God’s guidance in balancing your responsibilities and calling.
