In this session, we will walk through some spiritual and practical handles for how we, as college leaders (pastors/shepherds), can help our college students process and tease out their specific calling to vocational ministry.

This session was recorded live at Roundup 2026, a gathering of college ministry leaders hosted by the Southern Baptist of Texas Convention.
