God called you — but where does your personal calling fit within the bigger mission? Christi and Bill sit down with David and Margot to explore the tension between individual calling and collective purpose, and why a shared trajectory is what keeps missionaries moving forward together instead of fragmenting apart.

Reflection Questions:

1. How would you explain the difference between personal calling and collective calling to a new missionary?
2. What are some signs that a missionary, church, or organization has drifted from its collective calling?
3. In what ways has your understanding of your personal calling been shaped—or challenged—by the larger mission of God?
4. When have you seen “activity” replace “trajectory” in ministry? What happened?
5. How can leaders encourage alignment without creating unnecessary control or uniformity?
