Where to Hear Your Calling
I’m kind of an apostle. That is, I have been sent places. Since I graduated from college 11 ½ years ago, I’ve lived in 17 homes for at least a month (and others for a couple of weeks). That’s a lot of moving.

When I started college, I made a study plan to ace my classes and connected with an InterVarsity chapter to grow spiritually.
