Ep 58 Cultivate Purpose with Paula Faris

Have you ever asked yourself the question “what is my purpose?” And did you hope to find the answer in a particular vocation? In a world that asks us from a young age “what do you want to be when you grow up?” it is no wonder that we begin to place our identity in our vocation. As people who have been designed to find their identity in Christ, we often get stuck in a cycle of striving vocationally to try and find fulfill our deep need of walking out our purpose. It is when we live out our faith calling, to love God and love others, that often our vocational calling begins to arise. But don’t take my word for it. Paula Faris writes about this in her book Called Out: Why I Traded Two Dream Jobs for a Life of True Calling.

Paula had not one but two dream jobs that she walked away from when God got her attention in a variety of ways. She was co-anchor of Good Morning America Weekend and co-host of the View. Her and I sit down and unpack what it looks like to identify a vocational calling and how that looks different from a faith calling and how mixing up the two can keep you stuck and unfulfilled in what God would love to do in and through your life.
