Answering the Call: Embracing New Directions in Faith and Career

—

When God whispers “move,” it’s more than a nudge; it’s a transformative call to faithful action. As I reflect on my calling journey, I see a tapestry of trials and profound learning. This is not just my story, but an invitation for you to discover the beauty in your God-given calling, especially when life takes unexpected turns.

Whether you are feeling burnout, stuck, or just unfulfilled in your career, God is telling you something.

I shared a bit of my burnout journey last year. My path has been a mix of spiritual growth, revelation, and now empowering others through my new initiative, Burnout to Blessed. Each step of the way has been influenced by my divine design, purposeful passion, and life experience. I’ve realized that God’s callings are not static; they are dynamic, evolving with our life’s seasons and God’s intricate design for us.

At the heart of every call is serving others.

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” – 1 Peter 4:10

When I was developing Teacher Revival last year, I knew I wanted to include the tagline: from burnout to blessed. It wasn’t just a catchy phrase but a revelation from the Holy Spirit about my journey and purpose. This revelation grew into a desire to support not just teachers, but to serve Christian career women, guiding them from frustration and career burnout to a place where their professional life is infused with spiritual fulfillment.

I’ve learned that understanding our unique calling is not just something for those called into ministry (sidenote: we are all called to ministry), but EVERYONE has a unique God-given calling—something He designed especially for you (Ephesians 2:10). I dove head-first into personality tests, spiritual gift assessments, and Bible studies, eventually becoming a Certified DiSC and Spiritual Gifts Facilitator. This knowledge has been instrumental in my own life and in helping others discover their divine design – a combination of personality, gifts, strengths, and God-given passions. The more I learn, the more I feel God pushing me to teach and share with others. (Did I mention that teaching is one of my spiritual gifts?!)

“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.” Romans 12:6-8

The Calling Clarity Workshop, a free resource I offer, is a testament to my commitment to helping other women uncover their God-given calling. It’s a space for exploration, understanding, and clarity about how God uses every aspect of our lives for a greater purpose.

As I continue to blend my passions through Shake Up Learning, Teacher Revival, and Burnout to Blessed, I see a beautiful synergy emerging – one that supports, empowers, and uplifts. I invite you to join me in this journey of discovery, to embrace your calling, and to experience the joy of aligning your career with your faith.

Let us be bold, swiftly obedient, and open to the wonderful ways God is moving in our lives. God bless you on your career journey, and may you find the clarity and peace you seek in His divine plan.
