The process of discerning one’s vocation should bring a growing theology. That word “theology” can make people nervous, but it is simply an understanding of God. It deals with questions of God’s being and action, as well as our relationship to God in Christ and more. As people enlarge their understanding of God and explore various understandings, they become better able to imagine the Kingdom of God and so to discover how God is drawing them to serve.
