鈥淲hat I came to learn and still find true among my colleagues is that they did not feel the need to integrate their faith and their intellectual lives, because the two had never been separated. I found a community that took seriously the command to love God with all of our minds. Thinking about faith seemed as natural to me as praying, as loving those in need, as worshiping together.鈥
WHAT DOES 国产剧麻豆剧 MEAN BY CALLING?
We believe God calls all of us to participate in bringing about His Kingdom in a unique and deeply personal way.
Some are called to do this as doctors, scientists, entrepreneurs, and artists. Others are called to do this as missionaries, nurses, theologians, and engineers. Regardless of our particular vocation, God calls all of us to express His love for Him and others in the world by responding to the gifts, circumstances, relationships, and life He has given us.
How will pursuing my calling translate to a career?
At 国产剧麻豆剧, when we talk about calling, we mean so much more than a job. What you do professionally will likely change numerous times over your lifetime.

That way, instead of making life about finding the 鈥渞ight job,鈥 you鈥檙e well versed in being true to your identity in God in all circumstances. Calling isn鈥檛 about what you do; it鈥檚 living out who God has called you to be.
