"It's Your Call" podcast chats with Janet Gear, a theological educator  and ordained minister in The United Church of Canada. She speaks about  her call to ministry, which first began as an activist in ecumenical  social justice.

Janet  Gear sees call as more than just a call to ministry — instead, it is  the lived response of all of us to the question, "What does it mean to  side with life?" Call, says Janet, is "a holy beckoning into the  fullness of one's life."

Janet  Gear is the author of "Undivided Love: Navigating Landscapes of Living  Faith," which offers a guide for leaders working with people in  congregations to discover their own calls across a banquet of lived  faith: evangelical, ecclesial, missional, ecumenical, and spiritual.  Available from the United Church Bookstore, UCRDstore.ca.

"It's  Your Call" is a podcast from the Office of Vocation of The United  Church of Canada. It is hosted by Karen Medland and Andrew Richardson.
