Podcast appearances and mentions of christian vocation

Listen to a portion of St. Josemaria Escriva's Advent meditation, The Christian Vocation from the book Christ is Passing By. The passage comes from points 7-11.

Peter in many ways is the consummate disciple. We see his triumphs, his failures, and we see his life fully transformed by the love of Jesus. In this teaching we explore the Christian vocation to be with Jesus to be people made holy, shaped in expectant faith, tasting mercy, and ultimately serving the world out of our brokenness and calling. Support the show

About the episode: As part of our Innovation series, Ryan Russell, Vice President of Innovation and New Products at Compassion International, joins us in unraveling the intricacies of service-oriented innovation. Together, we discuss how innovation doesn't have to be huge to make an impact. Each step forward is rich with opportunities to learn. Ryan talks about the passion and humility we need towards our customers, employees, and/or clients. We also explore the intersection of creativity and connection in non-profit innovation, delving into Compassion International's multifaceted crusade against child poverty and how innovation forges new (and unconventional) pathways for connection and support.  Ryan's wealth of diverse career experiences underscores the transformative influence of a dedicated innovation team. This episode is an invitation to embrace the spirit of innovation in our everyday actions and in companies and organizations.

Fr. David Skillman discusses our Christian Vocation to Service and Kingship as we near the completion of our walk through Redemptor Hominis (Redeemer of Man), St. John Paul II's first encyclical. For more information on Covenant Network, please visit OurCatholicRadio.org

Today is the feast of the Evangelist St. Luke, a disciple of St. Paul. St. Luke is the third Evangelist, following Sts. Matthew and Mark. He penned those accounts of more intimacy and details about Our dear Lord's origin, virginal conception, birth, childhood and so forth. He was a practicing physician, much like Sts. Peter and Andrew and James and John were fishermen. They all had to have something solid to earn their keep to support themselves. The account of St. Paul in the first reading of the mass today, taken from St. Paul's second letter to Timothy gives us more ideas regarding how the work of evangelization was going. It was a lot about resources and their distribution to deliver the Church's services to the people.

In part one of this double episode, we suggested contemporary concepts of Christian vocation often suffer from being too thin or too narrow. In part two, Jacob and Jonathan get stuck into what the “counter-cultural ethical content of the gospel” might mean for thinking about vocation in a variety of Aussie circumstances. How might a richer understanding of the call of Christ on our lives play out in the everyday? Theme music: © Don Stewart, Recorded/Mixed by Unmuzzled Music Productions.

If we've heard and believed the good news of Jesus, what are we then supposed to do? If Christian faith is a call, what are we called to? These are the questions of Christian vocation, but if we've never heard a voice from God, does this mean we can simply do what we like? Are there things Christian should not do? Are there things we should all be doing? In part one on this topic, Jacob and Jonathan dig into the history and meaning of the Christian call and sketch a bigger vision.

What if the true depth of your Christian faith journey lies in understanding the very essence of your being - the supernatural part of your human nature? In this episode, Fr. Stephen and John  discern the critical role each of us plays in the Church and how we can align our daily tasks with the spirit of Christ. They explore the Apostolate of the Laity and its significance in the Church and then traverse the transformative power of baptism, the unveiling of our new creatureliness in Christ, and the imperative for this transformation to find manifestation. Father Sanchez provides profound insights into the supernatural aspect of our human nature, leading us to a deeper understanding of our ministry as Church members. They also discuss the responsibilities that accompany our Catholic faith and the interconnectedness of the living Church and the Church in Heaven.This episode isn't just an intellectual exploration; it's a call to action. They examine the essential role of the laity in evangelization and how we are called to live out gospel values in our society. Through thoughtful discussion, we'll learn how to infuse our daily tasks with a Christ-like spirit. They also touch on the importance of looking at others the way God sees them and how this perspective can transform our interactions. Be ready to engage and deepen your faith as they navigate the complex yet rewarding journey of living out our Christian vocation.Have something you'd love to hear Fr. Stephen and John talk about?

How can I know God's "calling" for my life? For years I've been working at a difficult, uninteresting job. It has never brought me much in the way of happiness or satisfaction, but it has allowed me to provide for my family. As far as I'm concerned, that's the higher priority. Meanwhile, I'm always hearing Christian leaders say that God has a specific "calling" for my life, and that this "calling" includes my occupation. As far as I can see, this idea has no biblical support. What do you think?

Coffee Break 12 - What Inspires You? No one stumbles into ministry. We were all called. No one would choose this unless they were called, right? Ministry is hard work—much of which is done behind the scenes. Sometimes we can get caught up in the routines of the work to the point where we run out of time to do the things which really inspire us. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for emails and texts…but they don't inspire me. I love meetings, but I'm rarely inspired by them. In my training I participated in a course called Christian Vocation. We explored what it means to live out a calling. One day we focused on what inspires us. They had an exercise for us to do to identify our inspiration. We did free-writing for 5 minutes on two statements. Free-writing is when you don't stop writing for a designated amount of time. You just start writing whatever thought comes to your head. If you don't have anything to write, then you write that—I don't have anything to write—until something come to mind. We did 5 minutes of free-writing to finish two statement…one at a time. The irst was this, “I love it when…” I began writing for 5 minutes based on that intro. I love it when… I wrote and wrote about things and instances and dreams which brought great joy to me. The second was, “I get angry when…” 5 minutes: “I get angry when…” https://10bibleverses.com/scripture-quotes/what-are-the-top-10-bible-verses/ I wrote and wrote about things that really bothered me and incited anger within me. After we finished, we divided into groups of 3 or 4 and took turns reading each other's free-writings. I was amazed at what I saw. No one wrote about what I did when it came to what they love or what made them angry. I had written about unity, connection, respect, dignity…and then lack of unity, connection, respect dignity. A friend wrote about nature and trees and then pollution and destruction. Another wrote about women's rights and then about sex-trafficking. The point was to figure out where our heart was focused. On what work inspires us and fulfills the longing of our souls. We were encouraged to get involved in some what with the things that inspire us. I don't know why I had assumed people loved and got angry about the same things I did. They didn't. And I didn't spend time dreaming and steaming about the things they did either. We realized that we are all given gifts and perspectives that vary. As a group of people, we were inspired to address a very high number of things in our community and world. It's as if…we are all needed and all inspired to serve different needs. Which is, of course, the truth. You are needed and the need God has for you involves your inspiration. You may assume others see what you see, but they don't. Others may assume you need to be inspired by what inspires them…but you may not be; and that's okay. If you've been feeling like something is missing… That you love life and ministry and your family and everything else you can name…but you also feel like there's more for you… try free-writing to see what it has to teach you. We are made to be inspired. We are made to be uniquely inspired. We are made to be a part of a larger body where many needs can be served together. So, my friend, go and find yours. Find what gets your heart pumping with both joy and frustration. Spend time in prayer about WHY those things get your heart pumping. Offer a prayer to God to help you live into what inspires you…and see where God takes you. Message brought to you by Rev.

Vocation is multi-faceted. We put it together like puzzle pieces: in careers, romantic relationships, our free time, our children, or a million other facets of our lives. Sometimes we do one thing to pay the bills so that we can do another thing for free that makes our souls sing. Sometimes vocational discernment is a wilderness experience. We wander, we wonder, we complain to God wishing we could go back.

Jesse Straight is farmer and founder of Whiffletree Farm. The goal of Jesse’s business is “to farm in a way that is good for all parties involved: the land, the animals, our families, our customers, and our community.” Jesse explains what terms like “grass-fed” and “cage-free” really mean and how the COVID-19 pandemic is revealing the weaknesses in the industrial food system. He tells us about his relationship with the work of Wendell Berry, walks us through his decision to become a farmer, and gives his advice on vocational discernment.   Carbon sequestration and pasture-based farming   Wendell Berry   Imitating biological systems   The real meaning of “cage-free” and “grass-fed”   The benefits of interning at a farm   Why Christians should care about the industrial food system   Vocational discernment   Links Wendell Berry’s work Polyface Farm Joel Salatin books and DVDs Whiffletree Farm Whiffletree Farm Internships

This week Allen sits down with Mark Stone, who works for the Texas A&M University System, to discuss Christian vocation and how Christians can be witnesses in their jobs. 

175+ young adults met up at the monthly DC Theology on Tap for a talk by Fr. Gregory Pine O.P.!

Christian Vocation From Early Church to the Present The post Christian Vocation From Early Church to the Present appeared first on Christ Church of Austin.

Some traditions and institutions are created with the best of intentions, but when they do not work out as planned, rules and regulations designed to “fix things” can end up making matters worse. This is what the Smalcald Articles says happened in the case of Monastic Vows (Part III, Article XIV) and Human Traditions (Part III, Article XV). Rev. Anthony Oliphant, pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Elmhurst, Illinois, joins host Rev. Sean Smith to discuss these articles.

Sakramenterne og livets mysterium : et evangelisk-luthersk perspektiv på det kristne liv

Revelation 14:12-13 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!” We all have jobs. We are teachers, shop owners, contractors, plumbers, nurses, firefighters, as well as a variety of other things. We have vocations and many of us were trained for the jobs we do. Some of us wish we still had more training for we feel a bit shaky on the job, tons of responsibility and little margin for error. Yet when it comes to our Christian Vocation, what are we to be doing, learning, getting done in the mean time between Christ's first and second coming? What training should we be giving to others and receiving ourselves? The good news is that we find a lot of these answers in the book of Revelation. This resistance document would not be much of a document if it didn't encourage us in what and how to resist the powers that are waging war against the Lamb. And we all have jobs to do. Join us as we look at The Vocation of the Saints.

The Christian Vocation: "Do not be afraid" by Fr. Justin Gillespie

Business as Mission

00:00 - Introduction 02:57 - Scripture Narrative (Matthew 24:4-14) 08:12 - Main Topic (Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up?) On episode TWENTY-EIGHT of Let the Bird Fly! the guys welcome the ever-patient Rev. Dr. Matthew Richard. If you’re a regular listener, you may recall that on Episode 26 we tried to discuss Dr. Richard’s book with him on that episode, but technology would not cooperate. We are extremely grateful for pastor Richard’s patience and understanding; and we’re thrilled that we were finally able to get him on the show. We think you’ll be pretty happy about it too! Wade starts us off on this episode discussing Matthew 24:4-14, before getting to the main topic. You may notice that we skip the free-for-all in this one, but we think you’ll appreciate that extra time we spend discussing Dr. Richard’s recently published book Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up? Twelve False Christs. In his book, Dr. Richard walks through twelve different false Christs that different people have presented to him throughout his ministry. As Dr. Richard says, each of these could be seen as a type of idol, that seeks to displace the real Jesus. The book is written for a lay audience and is very conducive to a study group setting. Through his narratives and explanations, Dr. Richard provides the reader with an honest account of these various errors, while the same time offering a thoroughly pastoral approach to confronting these false christs. If you are diggin’ this show, we’re confident you’re going to like this book. In fact, we’re so confident that we want to give away a free copy to one lucky listener! It’s been a while since we did a book giveaway, and this book is too good to pass up the opportunity. For all the information go to our BOOK GIVEAWAY PAGE and register to win. Even if you’re sure that you’ll win the book, order a copy to share with a friend (or your pastor). Dr. Richard has also provided a number of resources to go with the book, so order a copy and check out these great resources. Here are the relevant links: Order a copy of the book (and download a free chapter right away) Learn more about the book Check out the free online course designed for the book Download the “CHEAT-SHEET” chart (this is the one that the guys reference in the episode) And if you’d like more information on Dr. Richard, you can find out about him, his church, and what’s he’s up to, follow these links: His personal site The site for the congregation he’s currently serving worldvieweverlasting.com Thanks again to Rev. Dr. Matthew Richard for taking the time to talk with us about his new book. We enjoyed reading the book and were thrilled to get the chance to talk with him about it.

00:00 - Introduction 03:54 - Scripture Narrative (Revelation 12) 17:57 - Free-for-all (Favorite Breakfast Food) 28:47 - Main Topic (No Apologies, Apologetics) On episode TWENTY-SEVEN of Let the Bird Fly! the guys welcome back Rev. Dr. Michael Berg (he’s getting to be so regular, we’ll have to dismiss with the formalities soon). Dr. Berg joins us on this episode to discuss a favorite topic of his; namely, apologetics. All the guys are back together for this one along with a handful of their girls; we even have our first guest child on, as Dr. Berg brought one of his three daughters along to record with us. (I’m telling you, this guy’s getting far too comfortable around this podcast.) In our Scripture Narrative Wade takes us through a bit of Revelation and points us to Dr. Berg’s fantastic chapel sermon from the feast day of St. Michael and All Angels. The kids discuss their favorite breakfast foods with the guys, and Wade forces Oliva to wait for her turn to talk (it doesn’t go well). Finally we make it to the main topic, where Dr. Berg wonders why he agreed to come on the podcast….again; as the guys seem more eager to talk about their how Dr. Kerry Kuehn might be doing with the revelation that the earth may be flat, than to discuss the great work going on at International Academy of Apologetics, Evangelism, and Human Rights. (And seriously, they’re doing great work...and it’ a great excuse to visit France, so you should check it out!) If you can tune out the guys, however, and listen to Dr. Berg, you’ll recognize why he’s quickly becoming a fixture at Let the Bird Fly!

On May 1st, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of St. Joseph the Worker. To help us get to know St. Joseph better, Fr. Peter Armenio, priest of Opus Dei, reflects on the holiness of St. Joseph as the role model for the whole Church, especially the laity. St. Joseph is the template for the Christian vocation— the “all-star” of holiness. “We need devotion to St. Joseph,” Fr. Peter explains, “because my vocation is his vocation. He loved God with his whole mind, whole heart, and whole strength as a carpenter. He tried his very best. He made his carpentry the best. His carpentry was a medium to serve people. His work was a medium of prayer and sacrifice. And, his work was a medium of charity towards others.” THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

As the summer approaches, many denominations will hold their annual, bi-annual, or quadrennial conferences and conventions. This is where denominational bodies battle out the details of their movements, doctrines, and leadership. The Southern Baptist Convention, United Methodist Church, African Methodist Episcopal Church, Full Gospel Baptist Fellowship, and many others will be meeting across the country during the summer months. How much do these conventions and conferences affect the average Christian's behavior and belief? Join Pastor Neal for this and other lively topics.

Jeremiah Gibbs is the Chaplain/Director of the Lanz Center for Christian Vocation and Formation at the University of Indianapolis. In Episode 08 we discuss his book Apologetics After Lindbeck which asks what it means to defend and tell the story of the Christian faith in today's world. We talk about the current state of apologetics and what nebulous words like "post-liberal" and "post-conservative" and "post-foundational" might mean.  You can find more of his writings at his website and blog: www.jeremiahgibbs.com.

Lesson Note: On the Sunday before Labor Day we celebrate Christian Vocation Sunday by hearing from three church members, who talk about how they live out their Christian faith on the job.
