Summary

Many young (and not-so-young) adults today struggle to figure out what they should do with their lives. Focusing on this significant issue, Todd and Carl talk with William (Bill) Boekestein about his new book, Finding My Vocation: A Guide for Young People Seeking a Calling. If people are in the situation of not having a sense of what they ought to do with their life, or people who are highly motivated but maybe are motivated for the wrong reasons, if they could get a glimpse of what God says to us in his Word about how to work for him, and with him in meaningful calling that serves the Lord and blesses others, that's a project well worth spending some time on. – Bill Boekestein Bill shares insights on guiding young people through career decisions, the importance of hard work, and the beauty of vocation. Whether you're a parent, pastor, or young adult, this episode offers wisdom on navigating the complex world of work and purpose. "Vocation is not just about survival; it's about living in God's world and demonstrating that we've been made to glorify and enjoy Him." – Bill Boekestein Thanks to the generosity of Reformed Free Publishing, we are pleased to offer three copies of Finding My Vocation: A Guide for Young People Seeking a Calling to give away to our listeners.
