The Call: Os Guinness on Discovering Your Divine Purpose
In this inaugural session of The Call conference (May 2–3, 2008, Perimeter Church, Duluth, GA), celebrated author and social analyst Os Guinness unpacks the transformative power of God’s calling in our personal and public lives. Introduced by Bill Smith of CS Lewis Fellows Atlanta, Os traces the biblical and historical foundations of “calling”—from the Reformers’ primary vs. secondary call, to the Puritan insistence on doing “what you are” as unto the Lord.
In this message you’ll discover:
What Calling Really Means: Why our primary summons is to follow Christ—and how every vocation, from lawyer to homemaker, flows out of that central relationship.
Living Integrated Lives: How to break down the sacred–secular divide so that “everyone, everywhere, in everything” is lived under Christ’s lordship.
One Audience, One Purpose: Embracing the “audience of One” to guard against cultural pressures and build a life marked by integrity and perseverance.
Whether you’re just beginning to explore your gifts or seeking renewal in your current role, Os Guinness shows how answering God’s call is the ultimate key to fulfillment—and the deepest hope our world needs. Join us as we step into God’s invitation to live with purpose.

Jesus Was More Than a Teacher—He Was *the* Content Creator
In this episode (a recording from a Youth Group talk), Chad Harrington explores what it means to see Jesus not just as Savior or Lord, but as Teacher—and not just any teacher, but the master teacher. Chad explains how Jesus taught with unmatched brilliance and communicated for transformation, not just information.
He then takes it one step further: Jesus wasn’t just a teacher—he was the content himself. The original content creator. Drawing from John 6, this message invites listeners to experience Jesus as the one who not only gives life, but is life.
Whether you're skeptical, curious, or ready to dive deeper, this episode will reframe how you see Jesus—and challenge you to take your next step as a learner under the greatest teacher who ever lived.
