Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? How can I make a more significant impact? All these questions have to do with the topic of vocation. Vocation is more than what one does for a living in terms of one’s career. Vocation is a lens that helps believers see the larger story of who they are regarding their calling with God through faith in Jesus and how they are now called to love and serve their neighbors through their everyday callings. Everyday believers seeking purpose and meaning in their lives will find this book helpful in empowering them to discover and live out their authentic calling in Christ in their daily lives. It will help them deepen their awareness of their ultimate identity in Christ and better discern their unique identity of God’s workmanship. It also can help believers develop an empowerment plan to practice good self-care so that they can show up at their best in their daily callings. Finally, coaching can empower people to make a more significant kingdom impact in their different stations of life—Family, Church, Lifework, and Society.
Sometimes life feels overwhelming and chaotic. Sometimes we veer off course, neglecting our most important relationship with Jesus. We may feel out of control, wondering how to get back on track, how to draw closer to our Creator and Savior. The liturgical calendar provides a way to get back on track, a way to reorder our habits. It does not matter your denomination; the liturgical calendar offers all of us this opportunity to reorder our lives around Jesus. Will you join me on a spiritual Christmas journey, a journey of recentering our hearts and minds on Jesus, a journey starting in Advent and ending on Epiphany? The Book of Colossians provides a unique lens for this wonderful time of year. Paul grounds his letter in the sovereign and glorious nature of Jesus. And, as we reflect on the Book of Colossians during Christmas, we are invited to slowly ponder the incarnation, our glorious God who shed the heavens and for a stable, the Word who became Flesh and dwelt among us. Will you join me on this Christmas journey?
There was a time when neighbors knew each other’s names, when small children and the old and infirm alike had more than their families looking out for them. There was a time when our neighborhoods were our closest communities. No more. Neighborhoods have become the place where nobody knows your name. Into this neighborhood crisis the words of Jesus still ring true: Second only to the command to love God is the command to “love your neighbor as yourself.” In Next Door as It Is in Heaven, Lance Ford and Brad Brisco offer first principles and best practices to make our neighborhoods into places where compassion and care are once again part of the culture, where good news is once again more than words, and where the love of God can be once again rooted and established.
