DISCOVER YOUR CALLING

This special series from Passages features people from a variety of industries and backgrounds as they share about their personal journey toward discovering and utilizing their God-given calling in everyday life.

Man-On-The-Street Interviews

Ep.1: Times Square

We created these man-on-the-street style videos to discover what people think of their purpose and calling as part of our Discover Your Calling campaign. We got their honest musings, thoughts, and speculations captured on camera for you…and our world…to see!

It’s amazing to see the answers. Some so bold…others so confused. (Certainly this underscores the importance of sharing God’s Truth—so many people don’t know!)

Ep.2: Brooklyn Bridge

Capturing our culture’s voice is sure to get people’s attention and lead them to the Voice of Jesus!

The man-on-the-street format is popular viewing on social media platforms. So, we’ll post the videos there…then point listeners and viewers to this website where they can discover more about their God-given purpose and calling.
