Participants discussed how to understand their identity and abilities, how to approach their career choice thoughtfully, and what the Bible says about their vocation and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is particularly important to help the younger generation realize that a profession need not be merely a means of earning a living, but a sphere in which a person fulfills their calling, serves God, and looks to benefit the common good of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is precisely the idea that we are developing through ProCourse and the \u00abMission in the Profession\u00bb initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7387b849
