What if your calling is already right in front of you? Steve Garber helps us see that vocation isn't primarily about the perfect career path or the unique occupations we have; it's about responding to a God who speaks and calls us to faithfulness in the small, everyday moments that make up our lives. Steve joins me this week to talk about calling, living with integrity, and why the "little moments" in life are more significant than we think.  Visions of Vocation: Common Grace for the Common Good by Steve Garber The Fabric of Faithfulness: Weaving Together Belief and Behavior by Steve Garber The Gospel in a Pluralist Society by Lesslie Newbigin David Copperfield by Charles Dickens   Truth Rising – truthrising.com/colson   "Give, Save, Spend" equips you with a biblical foundation for financial stewardship and practical tools to manage money wisely and plan for long-term stability.

In our culture, if a woman is said to have strength it usually means she is competing with a man or acting like a man.
What if there is strength in the way God made us, as women?
There is and we recognize it when we see it.
We are excited to introduce you to women who display true strength, not in spite of being women but because of it.
