Wrestling with Your Calling with Dr. Conrad
We all need help with our calling of God.
This podcast will help you see your calling as an INVITATION into something bigger than yourself rather than seeing your calling as a DESTINATION of something to be attained.
SEASON 1 offers some insights and several amazing interviews of professionals discussing their life's journey. Some leaders include a lawyer who gets a second chance, a university president who loves his students, a variety of types of doctors, a school headmaster who lives under the influence of his grandfather, and a few unique pastoral voices. May their stories encourage you.
SEASON 2 offers a deep dive into the matters of the human heart that affect all of us. Dr. Conrad uses the second season to talk out deep matters of the human heart to help him write a book on the human heart.
SEASON 3 offers some 15-20 minute exhortative commentaries on some biblical characters who had to wrestle with their calling. This encouraging season may have you seeing biblical characters differently than you have ever seen them before.
