A vocational credo gives you the courage to be who you are. —Tony Gatewood

Life’s circumstances can sometimes limit our hope and box us in to the status quo. Discovering our purpose and unique calling is our best resistance. Today’s conversation with minister and missionary Tony Gatewood delves into Debra Koehn Loyd’s book, Your Vocational Credo. Tony takes us on a journey through his own life as a youth hindered by poverty and violence on the South Side of Chicago into a realm of vocational discovery and imagination through epic fantasy novels and the epic Gospel of hope.
