Life Calling Model
Dr. Bill Millard’s model for life calling focuses on three areas: Foundational Values, Unique Design, and Personal Mission. Foundational Values explores the integration of faith, character, and service in determining an individual’s worldview and beliefs that guide their actions. Unique Design integrates student’s strengths, passions, and experiences to better understand who God created them to be, as well as to equip them to serve in effective, fulfilling ways. Personal Mission prompts individuals to assess the needs in the world around them, establish their vision for change, and commit to actions related to those needs and vision. The combination of these areas is where and how you discover your life calling. In other words,”What has the Caller created you to do?”
