As the summer ends, the guys welcome a guest to this episode of Three Guys Theologizing. Pastor William “Bill” Boekestein of the Immanuel Fellowship Church (URC) in Kalamazoo, Michigan, joins them to discuss his latest book Finding My Vocation: A Guide for Young People Seeking a Calling.

The interview begins by Bill defining Biblically the idea of vocation. He explains how the Protestant Reformation helped recapture the sense of all of God’s people serving the Lord, not just the clergy. Bill then discusses with the 3GTers the theology of work and rest, and how they add to the sense of vocation. From there, Bill describes ways young people growing up in the church can prepare for their vocational calling, chief of which is growing in wisdom and character. Toward the end of the episode, questions about vocation such as “What if I hate my job?”, “Should I go to college?” and “What about the military?” are addressed.

As you will see if you listen, Bill’s pastoral heart and Biblical practicality shine through his voice and this book. Parents, teachers, and pastors should desire to put this volume into the hands of the youth in their homes and churches.
