This document discusses discovering one's calling and vocation. It begins with questions about career aspirations and goals. Then it discusses distinguishing internal and external influences on career choices. The document explores the biblical story of Moses being called by God at the burning bush. It emphasizes that all people are called by God to make the world better. The rest of the document provides tools for discerning one's calling, including learning about spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personal style, and experience (S.H.A.P.E.). It also discusses strengthsfinder assessments. The goal is for students to thoughtfully consider how to live faithfully according to their calling.
