At this time and place, who are you meant to be, and what are you called to do? According to Gordon T. Smith, vocation is not a goal on the horizon but a present reality we can discern and explore. Whether you're navigating career transitions or looking for meaning in the ordinary, these theological reflections and spiritual practices invite you to step into God's call in the present moment.

Our vocation is the outworking of how God has made us. It is not a goal on the horizon but a present reality that we are called to discern and explore. However, in the midst of our daily lives, finding meaning can prove both difficult and elusive, and we are often left wondering if we are missing out on God's purpose for our lives.
Gordon Smith invites us to reflect on our vocation and step into God's call in the present moment. When discerning our vocation feels overwhelming, Smith offers a simple question as a way forward: "At this time and place, who am I meant to be, and what am I called to do?"
Theologically and historically grounded, Your Calling Here and Now offers theological reflections and spiritual practices that will help you discern God's call on your life. Whether you are navigating career transitions or looking for meaning in the ordinary, God has a purpose for your life for the here and now.
