Vocation, Shane Claiborne – Video and Discussion Outline
Mr. Shane Claiborne discusses his personal vocational path and his work with Red Letter Christians and The Simple Way.
Questions for Discussion:
- What might it mean to think of vocation as more of a “movement than a moment” for our young people?
- What does it mean to consider that vocation might mean that folks run counter to the legal authorities? How do we lead our youth and continue to listen to God in these moments?
- How might we use what we have (bagels and apple cider and whatever else) in order to experience the holy presence of God? How might we learn from these experiences?
