How do you know what job/career God wants you to pursue? – The short answer from Mike Winger

Mike Winger, a gifted pastor and online Bible teacher, gives a short response to this question in this Q&A episode. Skip to 54:40 for the question.

Here’s my summary of his points:

• We don’t have this idea in scripture that God gives you clues to find the job you should pursue, and that if you don’t your life will be derailed and you won’t be used by God.
• You have many options available.
• Sometimes the Holy Spirit instructs you to do something (a CALLING). If he does, you should go for it!
• Most of us don’t get that from the Lord, so instead, we should look at how he has gifted us.
• Ask not what you want to do, but what you are skilled at. Pursue a job where you can utilize those gifts.

Mike has been a great resource to me and thousands of people who are seeking to think about everything biblically through his insightful verse-by-verse teachings, Q&As, and videos on culture and doctrine.
