Hi folks - for years Brian Ammons has been helping me see that the truth about many things we take for granted is often a third option beyond the binaries offered in public. Brian is a deeply wise person of integrity, and sharing the work of The Porch
What a gift to hear Brian's presentation again -- first at The Porch Gathering in March, and now here as a recording. So much to learn from him about vocation!
I was blest to hear Brian share this story live at the Porch Gathering. It was so powerful and I see the world in a different way now. I am a retired nurse and my identity was so tied into my nurse role. I now see that my "vocation" is the "Me" that I bring into every aspect of my life-not just my nursing. And that never ends-it only expands. ie: I bring my Cindy-ness into being a grandmother now, as well as all the other relationships I am in. Thank you for sharing this with others on the jouney.
I once had a Lilly check in my hand for a sabbatical, but returned it (darn) because I was moving to a new congregational call. Yet, of course I have been the recipient of several Lilly funded experiences. Your story you share is perfect, Brian. My largest take away from your telling is 'the invitation to let God restructure the container,' including my patterns of thinking and being in this world. And you inspire by encouraging, and reminded me, that our well-crafted stories are nothing less than transformative. Thank You!
