Do you feel stuck in your career? Do you struggle to find a link between what you do at work every day and your mission as a Christian? Do you feel like something's missing in your vocation? If any of these questions resonate with you, chances are you're feeling the tension between how the world views work and what God has uniquely called you to. We all want a calling from God, but far too often we say no to his invitations because they seem so contrary to how we've learned to think about our work lives. If we want to experience the fullness of life that comes from living in line with our callings, we must throw off the worldly wisdom of the workplace that keeps us where we are and embrace the characteristics that define a life lived in step with the Spirit. This book will help you identify the limiting beliefs that keep you from saying yes to all that God has for you and define the foundational truths that you need to receive the vision, purpose, and fulfillment that God has for you at work.
