  • Dr. Erin Moniz - Future Calling
    Jan 30 2025

    Dr. Erin Moniz, Director for Chapel at Baylor University, joins us to talk about future calling. It’s common to hear students talk about their futures using language related to “calling”. Maybe you’ve heard someone say that they’re called to be a doctor, or called to be a lawyer, or called to go into ministry. Students use language like this because they are integrating their faith and connection to God with their future plans. But is this language always helpful? Do we need to modify the way we think about our future decisions?
