In this course, Dr. Angie Ward will lead you through lessons that are aimed at helping you discover and develop your God-given calling. You will discover how you can prepare for your calling, how you can discern the calling of God, and how this calling can be lived out practically and faithfully.

  • Recognize the many ways that God calls you into His kingdom’s work.
  • Describe the three phases of calling, including how they may take shape in your life and the actions you can take during each of these phases.
  • Discover what it looks like to live out your calling at various life stages.
  • We used to view only pastors, missionaries, or evangelists as ministers of God. This course brings us to the reality that, all of us have the ability to serve in the Kingdom of God. When we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we become members of the family of God. Then we work with God to bring others to the Kingdom. Notice that there is a process in this calling: preparation, discernment, and response. Along with this, cultivate, practice and hear from the Holy Spirit, be intentional, and follow up to the complete surrender to Christ.

    — Mela, Nigeria
  • Before I have taken this course my understanding of God's calling was somewhat just about special task or great adventure with God. The course had given me a clear understanding of how it affects one's life, family and the process. The course also corrected my understanding about leadership and responsibilities.

    — Enrique, Philippines
  • Very helpful guidance for believers who have just found their gifts and may believe they have received a calling or have a passion to serve God!

    — Thaddeus, United States

    — Helen, United States
  • Thank you for providing this course as it has been something I've been praying about and didn't know how to find a course. God allowed me to open the Our Daily Bread Devotional app and He took me right to where I could find this course. It has helped me tremendously and I am so grateful. Blessings.

    — Rachel, United States
  • This course has been and will continue to be an encouragement to this 59 year old. Thank you!

    — Michelle, United States
  • While I found the course interesting and I definitely learned from it, the lecture was not quite as organized as it could have been, with sentences started, stopped, or subject changes.

    — Cheryl, United States
  • To be honest, I cried during some of the lectures. It was as if she was reading my personal mail regarding myself to God. As a pastor, I was feeling inadequate around other ministers because they were moving around, getting invites and they have a church building. My eyes were open before I took this course, but now they are more open. Thank you so much Dr. Angie Ward, God allowed you to give me the tools I needed to hear and apply to my ministry. I am so overcome with joy, and I am happy I took this course.

    — Joeanna, United States

    — Bethany, United States
  • No matter what age you are you can make a difference.  

    — Margaret, United States
  • Loved it, although I believed the teacher soke too fast for me. But I thought she was an excellent teacher.

    — Normand, United States
  • Very interesting and helpful in finding out about having a calling and how to repsond.

    — Suzanne helen, Australia
  • Great course. I learned a lot. I hope to use this course either as a sermon series or a Bible study for our young adult small groups. Overall I love the course because the instructions were clear and straight forward and I could complete the course on my schedule.

    — Mattie, United States
  • This course lecturer was top-notch, and I very much enjoyed her presentation. The things spoken about were what I needed to learn at this time in my life and in my calling. Thank you.

    — Sherri, United States
  • Unclear presentation

    — Angie, United Kingdom
  • I took this course in order to help my staff and others as they question their calling. I believe that most of my personal experience and understanding of my calling was confirmed by the lectures. There were many points that I hadn't considered that did affect my calling (as I look back on how I arrived in the position that I am serving now).

    — Julianna, South Africa
  • It's biblical teaching with real life application.

    — Shinshin, United States
  • This a course that is really helpful in understanding our calling for God.

    — Tameka, United States
  • I would say that it would be beneficial to the student IF there were a second course to go along with this topic.

    — Mark, United States
  • Thanks for giving clarity on discerning God’s calling
