What if you don’t have a calling from God...but callings?

Often we think of our calling as a singular moment of divine purpose revealed to us in young adulthood and static for the rest of our lives. But consider how God usually works. He created the cosmos in six successive days. Might he not also have six seasons of calling for the lives of his people?

In The 6 Seasons of Calling, Brian Sanders helps you view your calling as something ongoing and dynamic. Because your calling is rooted in your relationship with God and your perception of his voice, it isn’t a static or one-time experience. Of course, your calling doesn’t constantly shift and change. Yet God has ordained six basic seasons as your life unfolds:

• Childhood - the season of bonding
• Adolescence - the season of learning
• Early career - the season of serving
• Mid-career - the season of creating
• Late career - the season of giving
• Transition - the season of leaving

Instead of wandering aimlessly through life, let the six seasons of calling provide structure for your development. Locate yourself in this sequence. Live mindfully in each season. Learn from its lessons. Look for what might be next. And remember...only at the end of your life will you see why each season was valuable and not to be rushed.
