Three classic perspectives on Vocation and Calling Who will you become? Three classic perspectives on Vocation and Calling

What you notice and what you are drawn to are related to your connection to the world, and to your sense of purpose.

Three historic people connected this to vocation & calling

Martin Luther Believed that our vocation is to serve the neighbor, the one “at hand”, whom we are “given” to serve.

Joseph Campbell Felt that we find our vocation when we follow our “bliss”, doing what we truly love.

Frederick Buechner Said that [calling] is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s hunger meet.

Pay attention as you interact with your world,

and recognize vocational clues in everyday life.
