Podcasts about Vocation

What's at stake if we stay busy in church but miss our calling in the world? It's easy to think serving at church—teaching, volunteering, helping with Mass—is the main way lay people live out their faith. But here's the truth: our primary call isn't just ministry inside the Church—it's apostolate out in the world. That means bringing Jesus into your workplace, your neighborhood, and your everyday life. That's where you're meant to shine. And what's at stake? Souls. If we don't take time to discern our apostolate, some of the people God placed in our path may never encounter Him. This isn't just about filling time—it's about stepping into the mission only you can fulfill. The Church needs you. And the world desperately needs Jesus. Tune in for a powerful conversation with Fr. Andrew Mattingly, who tells us that sometimes, reaching the world means cutting back on “good” church programs—because when a parish is over-programmed, it can pull focus from the real mission. But when we zero in on what actually forms people for their apostolate, we gain clarity, energy, and fruitfulness. It's not about doing more. It's about doing what matters most.

Who cares for those who care for the grieving? While first responders were celebrated during the pandemic, funeral directors—our last responders—quietly carried the burden of death. How can we minister to these unsung heroes of compassion?

Priesthood is a Vocation in the Catholic Church that men are united to Christ the Head and make present his healing work through the Sacraments. Priests are connected to the people they serve and particularly connected through Christ. Listen to Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C share more in this segment from the Son Rise Morning Show on Sacred Heart Radio, in his reflection on his Vocation story and practical advice for newly ordained priests.“Today is a day of great joy for the Church and for each of you who are being ordained as priests — together with your families, friends and companions in your years of formation. As the Rite of Ordination emphasizes in many places, the relationship between what we celebrate today and the People of God is fundamental. The depth, greatness and even duration of this divine joy that we now share are directly proportional to the bonds that exist and will deepen between you, who are being ordained, and the people from which you come, of which you remain a part and to which you are sent. I will dwell on this aspect, always keeping in mind that the identity of a priest depends on union with Christ, the Eternal High Priest.” - Pope Leo XIV, Homily for Mass of priestly ordination May 31, 2025.Notes:Jubilee ResourcesView Vocational Discernment ResourcesRead Pope Leo's Homily from Ordination MassVisit Pope Leo XIV resource pageOn Mission podcast: Holy Orders Follow us:The Catholic Apostolate CenterThe Center's podcast websiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastsSpotify Fr.

As a child, chef Graeme Stockdale was embarrassed by the smell of sauerkraut and pickles that would trail him from his Polish and German grandparents' home. A transformative encounter with a barbecued duck in Singapore changed his life, though nothing would prepare him for two monumental floods in his adopted region of Lismore, NSW.Graeme was only a boy when he was introduced to the power and ferocity of fire. As a nine-year-old living in Albany, Western Australia he lit a fire out of curiosity on a neighbour's property. It was the look on his mother's face that turned his experience from awesome into terrifying.Graham grew up with the flavours of his grandparents' German and Polish ancestry, raised by a single mum, and experienced social isolation brought on by the judgement of kids at school.  After the barbecued duck experience, his whole world became focused on food, and he eventually opened his own restaurant in Lismore, NSW.Graeme survived two major floods, and in the aftermath, cooked on his barbecue non-stop for weeks, outside his ruined restaurant, feeding his community with help from volunteers.Further informationRead more about Graeme's restaurant in Lismore, The Stockpot Kitchen.Graeme's cookbook, Red Hot & Smokin'! was published by New Holland Publishers in 2019.Conversations' Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.

Travailler, pourquoi ? où ? Comment ? avec qui ? Ca te plait ? Ces questions, nous les posons depuis 5 ans avec Carla. Vocation c'était tout simplement l'exploration du monde du travail d'un duo de la nouvelle génération en plein COVID, à la sortie de nos études. Je vous l'ai dit, Vocation reprend et je vais fonctionner par saisons mais j'aurais toujours le même objectif : nous projeter dans les prochaines étapes de notre vie active, pour virer de bord, bifurquer ou tout simplement anticiper les prochains coups grâce aux témoignages et parcours de celles et ceux qui sont déjà passés par là.La première saison sera sur les voies du pouvoir et de l'influence et sort sur toutes les plateformes à partir du 15 juin. Mais avant de la lancer, je voulais faire cet épisode un peu particulier. Car qui de mieux pour inaugurer ce comeback que mon duo de choc depuis le démarrage de cette folle aventure : Carla Abiraad ! Nous nous sommes retrouvées chez Carla, sur le même canapé qu'au début du projet, j'ai rebranché les micros pour la première fois depuis 3 ans et nous avons tourné cet épisode. On a fait le bilan sur les 3 dernières années : nos joies, nos déconvenues, nos apprentissages et nos regrets. C'est d'autant plus fou que Carla vient de lancer une nouvelle entreprise, @dopamin - elle vous en dit plus juste après mais je vous invite vraiment à la suivre sur Linkedin et Instagram. Je vous partage donc cet épisode pour faire le point ensemble 5 ans après notre premier épisode - sans prétention et vraiment sans aucune leçon à donner. Pour ceux qui nous retrouvent, écrivez-nous aussi pour nous donner de vos nouvelles et pour tous les autres, bienvenue sur Vocation !

C'est un principe indiscutable, presque une évidence en travail social. L'accompagnement des personnes nécessite du temps et de la continuité. Et donc, de la part des professionnels, de l'engagement et de la stabilité.Or, ces dernières années, les professionnels se font rares, difficiles à recruter. Le turnover s'aggrave et le recours au CDD et à l'intérim est progressivement, mais sûrement, devenu la norme dans les structures, avec toutes les difficultés qui l'entraînent.La faute à qui ? Sans aucun doute aux conditions de travail qui se dégradent, aux salaires insuffisants, et à l'absence de reconnaissance.Cela tient-il aussi à l'immaturité de professionnels entrés trop jeunes dans le métier, ou encore aux attentes supposées de cette génération qu'on appelle la " Gen' Z ", dont le rapport au travail serait différent ? Peut-être. Le fait est que l'engagement sur le long terme n'est plus l'évidence qu'il a pu être dans le social.Élisa, éducatrice spécialisée - actuellement en cours de VAE pour obtenir un diplôme qu'elle n'a pu décrocher en fin d'études - a fait ce choix pour le moment de n'exercer que dans le cadre de remplacements, plus ou moins long. À 24 ans, c'est la pratique qui lui convient, pour plusieurs raisons. Elle a bien voulu nous expliquer lesquelles, avec le souci de déconstruire les préjugés et de montrer que l'engagement au travail n'est pas toujours là où on le croit et peut prendre diverses formes au cours de la vie professionnelle.➡️Si vous souhaitez à votre tour participer au podcast Les Voix du Social, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter à l'adresse suivante : lemediasocial@lefebvre-dalloz.frHébergé par Ausha.

Derek Rishmawy, Alastair Roberts, and Brad East discuss why so many Christians today feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed by the idea of “calling.” They examine how the biblical and Reformation doctrine of vocation has been reshaped by modern expectations of career, identity, and fulfillment—and how to recover a clearer, more grounded view of vocation rooted in community, providence, and everyday faithfulness.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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