Your Life Is the Assignment: Jen Hatmaker solo episode

About this sermon

For twenty years, one question has followed Jen everywhere she goes: what am I supposed to be doing with my life? In this solo episode, Jen puts down the word calling and picks up a different one: assignment. Not the thing waiting for you in the future, but the work already in your hands, in this season, on this street, with these people. She untangles work from worth, names the theology a lot of us absorbed that rewarded us for burning out, and shares the questions she uses to tell the difference between an assignment that is actually hers and one that is simply available. She also talks about the assignments that end, and why finishing one well is its own sacred work. Ordinary, faithful, unglamorous work is not the consolation prize for people who never found their capital C calling. It is the actual thing. This episode kicks off September's theme, Sacred Work, here on the show and over in the AWAKE Collective.
