How do you currently encourage your students to find their God-given calling?
-
I will talk with them about their strengths when I see they are particularly talented at something. I encourage them to strive to develop it and encourage them whenever I can.
-
I am always reminding my students about their strengths.
-
We have discussions about how we are all unique and we all have special talents. I allow them to express their interests and apply it to things we do.

As a 5th grade teacher most of my students are not sure what their God-given calling is and I let them know that this is okay. I encourage them to try many different activities, try new things, and most likely one of those things will feel natural, fun, and make you feel confident. I remind them that each person is unique and that they do not need to compare their calling to anyone else’s. Just simply excel in the calling God has given you.

As a pastor’s child, I know that a parent’s voice can be very loud and demanding and directive. I try as their teacher to ask them what they’re interested in and possibly how they feel led, what they want for their future. I give them examples of my life and how my path was not necessarily clear or straight but how God led me in His best way and share encouragement and confidence that God will do the same for them as well.
