In May 2014 Coffee Talk was held at Revel 77 where a discussion on jobs and vocations took place. Read related posts below.

“Two poets and a place to exercise happiness in between”
“Your job is to find what the world is trying to be.”
“What does it mean to be called?”
When most people think of a ‘call’ they think in terms of a call to formal ministry.
“How I found my calling as a social worker at the age of 21″
“Vocation” and “calling” are such buzz words among upperclassmen at a private, Christian liberal arts university. As a graduating senior at Whitworth University (commencement’s less than a month away now!), the constant questions my peers and I hear are “What are you doing after graduation?” and “What are you going to do with that [degree]?”
“Finding my sacred calling, finally”
When I think of the path taken, the one that called me to the big desk in a nice church office in the oldest neighborhood of Spokane, I am struck by how many decisions came in the form of “I have to do this now, I have no other choice.”
