Let’s say we accept the call instead of stumbling from dark place to dark place—what will that mean? For some of us, it will mean a formal commitment to be a Professional Christian—a priest, minister, pastor, youth leader serving in a church or some other formal capacity. For some, it will mean consciously living a life that demonstrates our values are not society’s values, but rather those of love, sacrifice, mercy, justice. For some, it will mean living a life in which we bear witness to the God who has made that life possible.
