Podcasts about Vocation

This week, James Arcadi joins the podcast to talk about his latest book, Holiness: Divine and Human (2023). He also shares about his dual calling to both pastoral ministry as a full-time Anglican rector, and to academic theology as a guest professor at Wheaton College. What is the relationship between abstract ideas and practical application? What does it mean for something to be "consecrated" or "holy"?  This and more on today's podcast!

Catholic men — it's time to wake up.The battle is real, and it's personal. Welcome to Part 3 of the Daily Grind with Go.d If you're not actively fighting for your soul, your wife's, and your children's, you're losing ground. This is not a game. Satan is not playing around, and the culture of comfort is numbing us into spiritual death.This episode is a direct challenge to you. To stop sleepwalking through your vocation. To take spiritual warfare seriously. To stop blaming everyone else and start owning your mission as a man, husband, and father. I talk about the realities of hell, the lies of the world, and how most men are spiritually passive while pretending they're doing enough. Spoiler: we're not.I walk through my own moments of cowardice; not to beat myself up, but to show that if we don't face the hard truth, we'll never change. I also offer a clear battle plan: Confession, the Rosary, fasting, sacramentals, and brotherhood. You need a weapon in one hand and a rosary in the other.Attend the Silent Retreat in Grand Rapids, MI!

This "In Brief" section reviews all that we have learned in recent episodes. In the Church, “the faithful" refers to clerics and the laity with various callings in each. Fr. Mike explains how God calls every human being to unity with him. No matter our vocations, we must surrender our lives to the Lord and participate in the priestly, prophetic, and kingly offices of Christ. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 934-945. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

"If we don't actively dream our dream, we are being dreamt" - Andean Wisdom, Marcela Lobos Since our lives are micros of the macro, I think it's safe to say that most of us are going through transformations ... being called to elevate in our next expression and evolution ... shedding skins / exoskeletons / phoenix feathers / old parts, roles & constructs ... likely it's already happening ... but are we tuning in and REALLY listening ... and do we have the inquires that lead us to the essence of what we desire to create, and what is on our design to do/live/be? So instead of being trapped, we create with life, from heart and soul. In this episode #1 in the Next Phase, On Purpose series - Ep 267: Becoming Something New - we will make sure you: have space + inquiries to shed light, gain insight and be able to articulate what this next phase (however long that is for you) is about. With this wisdom you gain a compass for clarity to make decisions, even in choppy, shifting waters.    Consider this: You are becoming something new ... it's happening, even if you can't see it, you can feel it ... so ask yourself... How can I actively dream and design my desired now reality and future reality, rather than being passively 'dreamt' by external circumstances? Here's the 3 inquiries we dove into to bring insight to what you are choosing to dream and co-create forward. Admit what I really want. Don't apologize or diminish this!  Choose- Where will I plant my field? Root my tree? Vocation, Relation, Location in this next cycle. Consciously curate- What needs to be released? What's still valuable to Preserve? What new possibilities do I want to Create space for? There is so much power in proactively choosing to release outdated beliefs and habits that we don't need in the next cycle .... to preserve valuable aspects that still have relevancy and life...  and create new opportunities and relationships to support us to evolve. I invite you to use this conversation and the 3 realms of inquiry as a practice of active dreaming and co-creation. Turn off the chatter and tune into your deeper wisdom and intuition to navigate and co-create your next phase in the now.   with heart,  Christine p.s. Share + forward this episode with a friend + share the insights from the inquiries. Reflect what you hear from each other.

The Lord calls everyone to live a life of surrender, and we have been looking at the various ways God calls people to grow in holiness. Religious life includes the public profession of vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience; members of secular institutes dedicate themselves to living in the world and helping to sanctify it. We also learn that those in societies of apostolic life devote themselves to a particular apostolic purpose without religious vows. These calls to holiness are gifts to the Church and the world. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 925-933. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

May 4, 2025 · Brad Raby · Ecclesiatstes 2:18-26

There are many ways that God calls people to lives of holiness. Just as he calls lay people to holiness, he also calls individuals to consecrated life, including hermits, consecrated virgins, widows, and religious. In a very intentional, specific, and lifelong way, those in consecrated life commit themselves to the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Father Mike helps us see how all the different kinds of consecrated life are a great gift to the Church and the world. Despite the many ways the Lord calls his children to holiness, the goal of each human life remains the same – intimacy with Christ. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 914-924. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

The term "laity" refers to all the faithful, except those in Holy Orders and those who belong to a religious state approved by the Church. We learn about the special vocation lay people have to seek the Kingdom of God as they engage in temporal affairs. They live in the world and bring the Gospel to places priests and religious cannot access. Father Mike explains that in this way, the lay faithful not only participate in the Church but are the Church. The laity participate in Christ's priestly vocation by making every part of their lives an offering to God. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 897-903. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

From Ephesians 4. Maybe we need to be thinking more of about our spiritual vocation (calling) and less about our next vacation.

The Scripture readings are Ezekiel 34:11-16; 1 Peter 2:21-25; and John 10:11-16.Your Good Shepherd fully knows that you need to be fed, found, brought back, bound up, and strengthened. In other words, He knows how to do the dirty work that you, His sheep, need. He also calls you to be His under-shepherds.

A Christian's job can also be thought of as a parachurch ministry. It's important to make a distinction between what the church does and what a Christian does, and a distinction between what the gospel is and what the implications of the gospel are. Thus Christians live out their faith in the workplace and around the world while maintaining the primary importance of the work of the church and church planting missionaries.

 The Ikigai has 4 components: 1.) Something that you love.A.) Something that you love to do. B.) That stop your thinking.C.) Anything that causes you to be present.D.) Flow state.E.) LoveF.) For instance: Drawing, dancing, singing.G.) It should take us in the state of bliss.2.) Something that the world needs.Something that creates a visual difference in the world.That you feel somehow essential to do.Like in the ancient time like a hunter, builder, chef, farmer, arrow maker.3.) Something that pays you well.Because you don't want to worry about money. So that you can afford what you desire.Enough to live a comfortable life.4.) Something that you are good at. This means you have some talents and through training you become good. Overcome the obstacles that are fulfilling to become good.Our Profession is the most important part of our life. We spend most of our time and energy on working to make money. We should choose for our profession at least two of these categories from Ikigai to become happy. In this Diagram you will find the best categories of combinations that will lead to a fulfilling life.These 4 categories combinations lead to 4 motives for your profession:1.) Passion2.) Mission3.) Profession4.) VocationFor every motive, we should focus on something to become better and happier. 1.) Passion - Combination: Something that you love and that you are good at.We need to make enough money to live a fulfilling life… Imagine, your family always requires much more money than you can imagine. Give your passion the focus to make money!2.) Mission- Combination: Something that you love and that the world needs. A mission without to become that very expert is not a mission at all. Learn everyday like me for instance. Otherwise, You can't become good!3.) Profession - Combination: Something that you are good at and that pays you well.You try out, again and again, new things that make you happy and enough money!Otherwise, you will not be a happy person. 4.) Vocation - Combination: Something that the world needs and that pays you well. Challenge yourself to become better than the rest in your niche. Otherwise, you can't make the money that you need, and your job will be not exciting. My Video: Ikigai, Japanese formula for choosing a profession. https://youtu.be/4a9P4LwsM_4My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/Ikigai-Japanese-formula-for-happiness.mp3

When your brand focuses on a specific body shape, creating clothes that fit is fairly easy. But what if you are designing for specific psychographics instead of demographics? What does fit look like then? Heidi Keil is the founder of Humble Hearts Clergy Apparel. She designs clothes for female pastors and chaplains – which is super niched on both faith values and vocation, not necessarily body type. Manufacturing clothes and a business that fits has been a prayer-filled journey for Heidi, but she serves in this way because she loves it. In episode 115, hear how Heidi arrived at a size chart and a size range that fits the pastors she serves, why Heidi started Humble Hearts as a business but it's turned into more of a hobby within her lifestyle, and how Heidi's faith values and favorite bible verse inspire her humble approach to running her brand. Heidi began designing clergy apparel, at the request of her pastor, when she was a student in an Apparel Design program. It was something Heidi continued to offer, somewhat sporadically, while working in the costume shop at The Guthrie Theater following graduation. When the theater closed due to the pandemic in 2020 she turned her time and attention to creating a line of clergy apparel (mainly due to her own need for something to fill her time). Gradually, with the help of family, friends, past instructors and work contacts she slowly developed an online presence. Humble Hearts Clergy Apparel is in its 5th year.   Where does the name come from? "...live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." Ephesians 4:1-2 Heidi shares: "This small business has been a wonderful way to blend my interest in fashion and apparel design with my faith." This episode explores: Fitting the customer The number of iterations it took to get the Humble Hearts size chart and size range right The things Heidi had to learn when she switched from her costume shop job to manufacturing clothing for Humble Hearts How Heidi learned what details and functionality are important for clergy apparel What changed when Heidi realized she didn't have to do everything herself Fitting the lifestyle Why Humble Hearts started out as a business and has now become more of a hobby for Heidi How Heidi's season of life allows her the time flexibility to run Humble Hearts How those around Heidi support her in this business The activity that has the biggest impact on sales for Humble Hearts Fitting the values Heidi's humble approach to running her brand How the liturgical calendar affects Humble Hearts' selling season How Heidi's work with Humble Hearts serves a greater purpose People and resources mentioned in this episode: Humble Hearts Clergy Apparel website Humble Hearts Clergy Apparel Instagram Heidi's email Do you want fashion business tips and resources like this sent straight to your inbox?

The resurrection of Jesus isn't just a promise of life after death—it's the power to live as we were created to in the Garden. In this Easter conversation, we explore how Christ's victory over the grave restores not only our relationship with God, but also makes possible our original calling to steward creation, pursue justice, and do good in the world.Too often, Christians see salvation as an escape from judgment rather than an invitation to meaningful participation in God's redemptive work. Let's remember that the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in us and can help us live out God's design in every part of our lives, vocations, relationships, and communities.Main Topics:The resurrection as restoration of our original purposeHow the Holy Spirit empowers us to live out God's designWhy this world—and what we do in it—deeply matters to GodJoin us as we draw from Scripture and real-world examples to unpack what it means that Christ is reconciling all things to Himself and how your everyday actions can reflect the coming Kingdom. From conflict resolution to creativity, your life now carries eternal significance.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!

There was nothing and then there was something. Over and over again. … When you have those people in a room making music … it's hard to go to sleep at night.” “I have been pursued by a loving Creator … God-haunted since I was a little boy.” “I wanted to know everything. … how, why, what, when … everything.” “Never once was there a moment when I was out of God's grip.” Charlie Peacock's Secret of Time: “God gives you time to be saved.” John Coltrane's spiritual journey “250 people a night…” “I took the F-word out of two songs, and stopped taking 10% from the bar tab.” Hans Rookmaaker Inklings Time in England and the Netherlands, including time at L'Abri (run by Francis and Edith Schaeffer) “An artist and a follower of Jesus, and how those two could be congruent …” “Our death is life to life.

And we will continue to live it.” “Playing with the entire history of music in your brain.” The Civil Wars: “We re-presented hyper-dynamics. … A lot of people have never heard that before. … It invites you in and lets you sit back.” (e.g., pianissimo to forte) Over-compressed music. “That lean in to the music is a part of your participation. … I'm committed to this music.” “I produced music in the ‘80s. I know how to ruin a record. … Big hair and big snare. … But really it had to do with technology.” Music in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s Neil Postman: “To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” “When I use this tool I have to make sure it doesn't use me.” “My subtext is that this is a book about epistemology. … To say, ‘This is how I know what I know.' It came through God, people, and place.” A worker-bee in the music business “Like a house with a party going on” Vocation, epistemology, and how an artists become who they are Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Comment une famille d'anciens protestants, menacée de déclassement après la révocation de l'édit de Nantes, trouve-t-elle les moyens de se réinventer tout au long du XVIIIe siècle ? Quels sont les outils et les stratégies qui permettent aux individus de s'approprier le virage révolutionnaire, de s'adapter, et de s'affirmer dans le nouvel ordre institutionnel ? Comment la Révolution est-elle vécue en coulisses, dans l'intimité de la cellule familiale et des relations sociales ? Comment, enfin, survivre au 9 thermidor et se recycler dans la société postrévolutionnaire lorsque l'on est marqué du sceau infamant de « robespierriste » et renvoyé à une identité « terroriste » lourdement condamnée ? C'est à toutes ces questions que se propose de répondre cet ouvrage en suivant la trajectoire de quatre générations de la famille Payan, originaire de Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux dans la Drôme, entre 1685 et 1852.L'auteur, Nicolas Soulas est notre invité par téléphoneDistribué par Audiomeans.

Now that we have established a theology of Place and Vocation, both looking at the practical side of living in the DMV, we get to turn our attention to God's work in transforming hearts and renewing and restoring people by the work of the Spirit calling people to repentance and belief in Jesus Christ. I hope to explore a brief history of revivals, how that language has been used, and what the characteristics are that we can see across church history. We will turn to God's Word to try to discern and determine what God's work is in revival and distinguish it carefully from what we are called to. This is the deepest longing of my heart – to see revival in our city. The vision of RHC is that it will be “In DC as it is in Heaven.” We will work from the foundation of Jeremiah 29:11-14 as we see the good plans God has for us, His people, as sojourners and exiles here.
