What if your calling isn’t something you have to chase… but something God already wrote into your soul?
In this new episode of The Chris Stefanick Show, Dr. Bob Rice—Franciscan University professor, deacon, and joy-filled Catholic dad—joins me for a deep dive into how to discover your unique charisms, live out your personal vocation, and find meaning in being the one-of-a-kind person God made you to be.
We discuss how to discern your own personal gifts, how to see your family as a “religious order” and identify your family charism, and why holiness doesn’t make you boring.
He also offers some thoughts on the vocation of a deacon—what it is, what it isn't, and why it's important.
This conversation is so packed with insights (and great analogies) from Dr. Bob that you might have to watch it twice!
As St. Catherine of Siena reminds us, "Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire." I pray this conversation can be the spark that helps you to discern and share your unique gifts as a precious child of God.
