What is CALLED?
What Is CALLED?
Through retreats, workshops, and online resources CALLED helps teachers, parents, leaders, and ministers pause, breathe, and rediscover who God created them to be. We invite you to live your vocation with deeper purpose, gentleness, and joy. At its heart, CALLED is about awakening to the sacred that is already present in your everyday life.
Our Three Core Invitations
1. Embrace Life’s Crossroads
Each of us reaches moments when what once worked no longer does. At CALLED, we see these crossroads not as crises to fear, but as invitations to grow. They are moments when God calls us from certainty to trust, from control to freedom, from answers to wisdom. This isn’t about abandoning your past; it’s about building upon it with greater peace and authenticity. The changes that happen after you embrace and learn from this moment are often referred to as the “second half of life.”
2. Live with Compassion
True compassion begins with ourselves. Before we can bring love to others, we must learn to meet our own imperfections with gentleness. From there, compassion becomes an active way of life as we show up for others with presence, creativity, and care. Whether in the classroom, at home, or in ministry, compassion transforms ordinary moments into sacred ones.
3. Share Your Story
Your story is the most powerful gift you have to offer. It’s through honest stories—of faith, doubt, struggle, and hope—that others find the courage to grow in their own lives. At CALLED, we help you find your voice, speak from the heart, and create space for others to do the same. When we tell our stories, we awaken the story of God alive within us all.

An Invitation
You are already living a life of service whether it’s to your family, students, community, or your faith. CALLED simply invites you to slow down, listen more deeply, and let God restore your joy in that calling. Let’s rediscover together what it means to live with purpose, compassion, and peace.
