The Word at Work with Miranda Carls: A Podcast for Christian Professionals

In this episode, we’ll be talking about the hunt for a God-given calling with Teasi Cannon, author of Lord, Where’s My Calling? She takes a Biblical look at the concept of calling, why we are all chasing it (often with much frustration!), and God’s better way for us. Teasi describes herself as a lifelong learner with a passion for knowing God and making him known. She lives south of Nashville, Tennessee with her husband, Bill. They have three adult children, a son-in-law, and two grandchildren.
