Finding Your Purpose in Vocation | The Desert Well Podcast

Welcome back to The Desert Well Podcast! In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of vocation and purpose, exploring how our different roles in life, from our jobs to family responsibilities, are all part of God’s plan for us. Join us as we share personal stories about our journeys to becoming educators and pastors, and discuss how these vocations shape our lives and our faith. We also reflect on the significance of our primary vocation as children of God and how it impacts every other role we have. Whether you're working, retired, or searching for your path, this conversation aims to inspire and reassure you that you are fulfilling God's purpose in all that you do.
