All Called Social Media Images
All Called Promotional VideosThe All Called Project seeks to help people discover their callings. It is focused on engaging the uninvolved and unaffiliated in the discovering meaning and purpose in life through their daily experiences. This is the way we come to understand our callings throughout life. Sometimes we discover our calling through experiences of joy and celebration, other times through difficulty, challenge, or loss.
For many, by discovering their calling they come upon a much deeper meaning and purpose for their lives. They discover a loving, merciful, and gracious God who wants to accompany them on their life’s journey for a lifetime. We believe that we are “All Called.”
Through AllCalled.org we hope to engage a diversity of people in discovering God’s callings in their lives. We have created eight “windows” through which people can view calling in their lives:
- As You Are Today: Discovering who you are and who you aspire to be. Finding ways to use your gifts to make a difference.
- Caregiving: Discerning your calling and personal meaning in the experiences of being a caregiver.
- Life Transition: Finding meaning and hope in the many significant life transitions you experience throughout life.
- Loss: Uncovering meaning, healing, and a new sense of purpose through life’s difficult losses.
- Relationships: Recognizing how the significant relationships in your life help you discover your calling.
- Sacrifice: Reflecting upon the inner strength and courage you draw upon when you sacrifice for others.
- Serving the World: Identifying how you can make a difference in your community and world.
- Work: Exploring the difference it would make in your life, if you thought of your job or career as a calling.
We have created the Instruments of Calling Training Program to provide a video-based workshop for church leaders to equip Calling Guides who will engage people in the process of discovering their calling.Instruments of Calling Workshop
We have created the Instruments of Calling Self-Guided Program to provide a video-based, self-directed program to equip individual Calling Guides.Instruments of Calling Self-Guided Program
We have created Social Media Images to assist you in promoting All Called through you social media channels like Facebook and Instagram, as well as through email and your church’s website. All Called Social Media Images
