I wonder if there is a time in your life when you have had a strong and clear sense of calling and yet found yourself blocked from pursuing it? Perhaps that is your situation right now?
My life has too many such moments. I've shared some of those stories before. And I wrote a book that explored the blocked callings of five clergywomen.
This week we are continuing our conversation with Bonnie Miller-McLemore. She is
the author of the recent book Follow Your Bliss and Other Lies about Calling. I enjoyed interviewing Bonnie recently, and
in this episode you’ll hear her read a little from her book.
Based on my own experience, the stories Bonnie shares about "blocked callings," and the clergy I've studied, I would say (again) it is never just
one thing that creates the blockade. It is intersecting personal and social forces (and sometimes relational ones) that conspire against callings.
