What am I supposed to do with my life?
It’s a question that shows up in quiet moments and big transitions—when work feels disconnected from meaning, when decisions feel heavy, or when the pressure to “figure it all out” starts to weigh on you. Many of us spend our days working hard, yet still wonder how our faith, gifts, and everyday lives are meant to fit together.
This 7-story Bible study explores what the Bible really says about calling and vocation; not as a single job title or perfect plan, but as an invitation to become more like Jesus. Through the lives of people like Moses, Ruth, Mary, Amos, and the first disciples, you’ll see how God calls people in unexpected ways, through ordinary work, doubts, and small acts of faithfulness.
Each study invites you to read Scripture for yourself while offering helpful background on the story, its context, and its characters. You’ll find reflection questions, guiding insights, and practices designed to help you listen for God’s leading and take meaningful next steps, right where you are.
This study can be completed on your own, but it’s especially powerful when shared with a friend or small group as you wrestle honestly with questions of purpose, work, and identity together.
