Healthy Soul BannerVocation, Work and Career

(Go to Registration Information)

The Urban Sanctuary presents their Annual Healthy Soul Conference featuring Gordon T. Smith speaking on Vocation, Work, and Career; Navigating the Transitions of Life. Christians at all stages of life wrestle with matters of vocation – "What is God calling me to do with the next chapter of my life?" And what we need is practical guidance for discerning well, in the midst of uncertainty and change in the church and in our social environment. And we need encouragement – for young people as they embark on their adult lives, for those in mid-life as they make sense of their options (and limitations) and those entering their senior years, as they enter into this new chapter in their lives.

About Gordon T. Smith: Gordon T. Smith is the president of reSource Leadership International, an agency that seeks to foster excellence in theological education in the developing world.  Prior to his current position, Dr. Smith served as the Vice President and Academic Dean of Regent College in Vancouver, where he continues to teach part time.  He has served in pastoral appointments and is a published author, writing and teaching in the areas of systematic and spiritual theology.
