In this episode, I chatted with Dr. Susan Maros, associate professor of Christian leadership at Fuller Theological Seminary and author of Calling in Context and Power, Agency, and Women in the Mission of God.' We discussed how identities shape our calling and vocation, especially for women in conservative evangelical circles. Dr. Maros shared her experiences and insights into how context, culture, and gender impact one's sense of calling. The conversation also explored practical aspects of fostering diverse, intercultural communities within churches. We discussed the challenges of integrating different voices and cultures into church leadership and practice, moving beyond tokenism to genuine interdependence. As an educator, Dr. Maros highlighted the importance of formation in theological education and the need for seminaries to focus on disciple-making beyond credentialing. This vital conversation underscores the complex interplay between personal vocation, community contexts, and broader cultural dynamics in church and educational settings.
