In this debut podcast episode of Embrace Our Calling, I discuss the concept of calling from a Christian perspective. I share my personal journey as an educator in Singapore, exploring the challenges of finding purpose in work. There are two types of calling: the primary calling to belong to God and the secondary calling related to vocation. It is all-important to know our identity in Christ before determining our purpose or career. This episode addresses common struggles Christians face in balancing faith and work, particularly during difficult seasons like the COVID pandemic. I introduce upcoming topics for the podcast, including discerning God's unique calling, handling burnout, and finding joy in work.🎯 Key Highlights:
Understanding the difference between primary and secondary calling How the gospel transforms our view of work Personal stories of finding purpose in education Practical insights for Christians in the workplace
