I call you by name: Discerning God's Call for Your Life Part 3 (2018)

Part 3: In the Belly of the Whale. This podcast refers to a handout a copy of which can be found at https://www.stpauls.co.uk/SM4/Mutable/Uploads/medialibrary/In-the-belly-of-the-whale-pdf.pdf Do you ever wonder if God has a plan for your life? Julia Mourant says that God calls each of us, with all our gifts and vulnerabilities, to contribute our gifts to the world and to each other and so find life in all its abundance. But the reality is it can feel profoundly difficult to know what that call might be. This day will offer the opportunity to explore your vocation, whoever you are, and whatever stage of life you’re at. It will include practical, prayerful ways through which we might discover God’s will for us, in particular by paying attention to how God speaks through our imaginations, hopes, dreams and desires, and through times of change, challenge and surprise. Julia Mourant is an Anglican priest and Scholar in Residence at Sarum College, Salisbury. A spiritual director and vocations advisor of many years’ standing, she has an MA in mentoring and coaching, has taught spiritual direction at Sarum College and is the author of Listening to Your Life: 30 ways to discern direction for your future (Canterbury Press 2016). Recorded at the Royal Foundation of St Katharine on 9 June 2018.
