Too often we confuse our calling with our careers.   A job is simply an assignment – it is merely a part of the larger story that is going on around each of us.   I encourage you to find our what your role is in the story of life that God is orchestrating around you.

These resources can help you rekindle your God-given passions and instruct you in the way you should go.  I have also included career development resources here because many men do find a great sense of purpose in their work and spend the bulk of their time at their jobs.
