It doesn’t always feel like we’re in the right role or point in our career. And it can be even more unclear where we’re supposed to be instead. 

Pulling from her experience as a globe-trotting journalist, an almost-lawyer, and author, who has covered some of the most consequential national and international stories of the past few decades, Barbara Bradley Hagerty walks through some important questions we should be asking ourselves about calling. 

It’s not all blind passion—though Barbara urges us to explore what really grabs and speaks to the desires God has planted in you—or striving to grab the brass ring. There are other key questions, and they aren’t all comfortable. 

Listen as Barbara shares her story and consider, as she puts it, “You  might be where you are because you’re the only person someone has.”
