Is Everyone Called?It’s that time of year when students have just walked across a stage and received their diploma. Some will head on to more schooling but many will decide that they’ve just had enough, no more school. For those who have come to that point, and for many of us even years after that “I’m done with school” moment, the question that quickly moves to the forefront is this: What am I going to do with my life? In Christian and non-Christian circles alike, the question of one’s calling is a popular one. A quick Google search for “Find...

What is a Missionary?Recently, someone asked me, “What is a missionary, exactly?” The question caught me off-guard, to be honest. It seems that we are all very susceptible to thinking that what is clear to us is clear to everyone else, but that just isn’t the case, is it. The question and confusion behind it makes even more sense when I think of some of what has happened in the past few years in our conversations about missions. One thing that has become popular is to say something like, “We are all missionaries.” Perhaps you have heard this statement. It...
