It can be helpful to think about what God calls you to as the intersection of three circles:
What You Desire (Your Deep Gladness)
What the World Needs (The World's Deep Hunger)
An Economic Engine (God's Practical Provision)
Sometimes, a single brilliant job hits all three areas. More often, we need a combination of jobs, responsibilities, and projects that help us hit all three. And that's okay!
We can give that over to the Lord and say, "Lord, here's my combination. Here's my job and my side hustle and my service at my church." He'll meet us there, even when things are less than perfect.
