In this inaugural session of The Call conference (May 2–3, 2008, Perimeter Church, Duluth, GA), celebrated author and social analyst Os Guinness unpacks the transformative power of God’s calling in our personal and public lives. Introduced by Bill Smith of CS Lewis Fellows Atlanta, Os traces the biblical and historical foundations of “calling”—from the Reformers’ primary vs. secondary call, to the Puritan insistence on doing “what you are” as unto the Lord.

In this message you’ll discover:

What Calling Really Means: Why our primary summons is to follow Christ—and how every vocation, from lawyer to homemaker, flows out of that central relationship.

Living Integrated Lives: How to break down the sacred–secular divide so that “everyone, everywhere, in everything” is lived under Christ’s lordship.

One Audience, One Purpose: Embracing the “audience of One” to guard against cultural pressures and build a life marked by integrity and perseverance.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore your gifts or seeking renewal in your current role, Os Guinness shows how answering God’s call is the ultimate key to fulfillment—and the deepest hope our world needs. Join us as we step into God’s invitation to live with purpose.
