“The inVocation Fellows program has been a complete answer to prayer in this post-graduation season. I have gained some incredible friends, made wonderful memories, and learned valuable lessons like finding the balance between work and rest and using my natural gifts and passions to further the Kingdom of God. I am so grateful for the leaders, speakers, and mentors who truly care about the well-being of young adults and are willing to share their wisdom with the next generation. I truly believe that programs like this have the power to change lives and ease the transition into adult life!”

My understanding of Christian calling and discipleship has been inspired by the speakers, books, and group discussions provided through the inVocation fellowship. The speakers and authors we met and learned from were intentional, humble, and motivating. Each one demonstrated that vocational calling is not a constraint for the Christian man or woman, to be viewed with intimidation, or fear of making the wrong decision. Rather, it is a foundational posture of mind and heart, fixed on the kingdom of Jesus Christ. This program has equipped me with the tools to think seriously about how I will fulfill the Great Commission in my vocational spheres throughout my life. The other Fellows in the program have been a resolute community of believers, with whom this journey of self-reflection and discipleship can be lived.
-Josiah Peterson, 2022-23 Fellow
“After graduating from college and stepping into the unknown of adult life, I wasn’t prepared for the lack of a connected, intellectual community that I had grown so fond of during my time on campus. I longed for a space where I could share ideas with other people and think critically about important life themes. This void in my life was filled with the inVocation Fellows program… I can think of no better way to navigate the difficult transition from college to a career than with the community of the inVocation Fellows.”
-Hugh Thiel, 2022-23 Fellow
