Join us for a conversation with Vineyard thought leaders:

We encourage you to prep for the webinar by checking out these two videos on vocation:
- Chris Armstrong, “Vocation? Whatever!”: This 16 minute video this video offers a brief introduction of why ‘thinking vocationally’ matters to how we see our work in the life and purposes of God.
- Amy Sherman, “On Vocational Stewardship”: This 17 minute video offers a wide, Kingdom-oriented lens on how we thinking about our ‘vocational power’ for the good of others.
- How Work, Vocation and Economy are interrelated and why they matters for taking seriously the reality of the Kingdom now, the ‘with-God’ kind of life (think Dallas Willard)
- How discipleship to Jesus is a life-long learning, apprenticing – to live a whole-life, integrated way of life under the authority of Jesus in His Father’s world by the power of the Spirit.
- How our “good works” and our “justification” in Christ matter for the “economy of God.”
