Our diaconal minister, Glenda, and I returned to Phoenix last night. We spent 3 days in Minnesota for a workshop at Luther Seminary. We went to "Discover Your Call: Uncovering Your Dependable Strengths" - a workshop put on by the Center for Lifelong Learning at the Seminary. Not only did we each discover our own dependable strengths, we went through the training to lead the workshop, so now we can use it here at SOV.
I'm excited about this process - it uses the telling of our own life stories to help us discover who we are uniquely created to be - and what we are uniquely called to do in God's world. This process goes way beyond the typical spiritual gifts inventories that involve checking off boxes, often in isolation from community. The results can be applied to every arena of life: home, work, school, congregation, community. The goal is to live not a "balanced life," but a "centered life." I look forward to putting our new knowledge to work. Thanks to the Shepherd's Foundation of SOV for funding our trip.
