Understanding Calling

Calling is defined in a way that contrasts with cultural perceptions, where it often refers to self-actualization rather than a divine invitation. In a scriptural context, calling is about discovering one's role in God's mission and identifying specific good works He has prepared for individuals. This process often involves narrowing down a broader will of God into more specific contexts, such as particular communities or situations where one can serve. By encouraging individuals to look for personal connections to their faith, microchurches help them pinpoint where God might be specifically calling them to act.
