Discerning your calling

Found this article from Tim Keller which is really useful in thinking about what God might be calling you to do, especially thinking about calling outside of ordained ministry or volunteering with the church. Fits in well with our current series on ministry at St Paul’s.

He suggests three ways in which you might discern God’s call on your life:

1. Affinity
“Look out” and see what needs people around you have that you are particular passionate about.

2. Ability
“Look in” and see what you are good at doing.

3. Opportunity
“Look up” and see what the biggest need of the community around you is.
