Christians at Work

Examining the Intersection of Calling & Career

We are excited to formally launch Barna’s Vocation Project—an initiative we started to help people live each day with a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment, accomplished by discovering their life’s calling and knowing they are doing the work God created them to do. We would love to connect and see how we can work together to accomplish this important mission—a vision that God seems to be placing on the hearts of many leaders today.

As you open Christians at Work, you’ll find a great deal of useful information to support your work. Please share the word about this important new study with your network! We’ve made it easy with some cool resources available below: social media shareables, and suggestions for articles or guest blog posts.
