Lord, Where's My Calling (Updated and Revised): When the Big Question Becomes a Big Distraction
“Wrong ideas about our purpose and calling—and how to find them—can lead to wrong decisions that may impact our lives for years. Sadly, Christians have been given a lot of bad teaching on these topics, leaving many of us disoriented and discouraged. Through her own personal search for that ever-elusive mystical calling we’ve been told we must pursue, Teasi has become the wise and trusted guide we need to help disentangle us from all the well-intentioned but misguided information we’ve been given. In this new and updated version, she points us back to the true source of our purpose and callings, God Himself, providing the necessary foundation that will both free and fulfill us.” -- Brett Kunkle, founder and president of MAVEN and co-author of A Practical Guide to Helping the Next Generation Navigate Today’s World.
Some people seem to find their calling with ease—opportunity nearly knocking a hole through their door. But what about the rest of us?
Teasi Cannon spent years scouring books, answering survey questions, taking countless self-focused personality tests, and begging God to reveal her divinely designed action plan she believed was out there somewhere. Still, she had no clue what her ultimate calling was, and her questioning became a source of lingering angst. She worried that maybe she had failed or was hopelessly flawed and grieved thinking maybe “special callings are only for special people” and God had destined her for a lifetime of the mundane.
Lord, Where’s My Calling? describes a life-changing course-correction that started with a ride on a tractor and a good look in the dictionary and ended with genuine contentment and renewed hope. Turns out a calling is not what Teasi had always presumed—and not at all what her life was missing.
In a world of conflicting opinions and identity confusion, you need timeless answers you can trust—especially to life’s most important questions like, “Who am I?” and “Why in the world am I here?” Teasi’s journey will lead you to biblically sound, yours-for-the-taking reasons for getting out of bed each morning and finding significance and joy in any calling you will ever have.

4.25 stars. The Lord knew I needed this book. Through His providence I learned who Teasi was and I decided to listen to her book. As a Christian wife, mom, and artist with a million ideas bouncing around in my head it can be difficult for me to figure out what I’m supposed to do with my life that glorifies God. This book reminded me to be diligent to do the work in front of me and to stay humble.
I only took off a star simply because there a few sections that emphasize God letting us choose or accept Him, which is not a reformed interpretation of scripture. But that’s not a huge deal. She does mention God knowing us before the foundation of the world among other things, so I feel like she’s very close to that reformed view whether she knows it or not.
A couple of quotes I wrote down:
“We can’t expect to brighten our world until we’ve been fully exposed to the Light.”
“It’s not our past that people need, it’s our present…” emphasizing that our past experiences should not affect how we serve others or the Lord.
Definitely worth a read, especially with a group or partner. Not long either.

Excellent!
This is a powerful reminder of the importance of keeping purpose at the forefront of our lives as we pursue opportunities to glorify God in our areas of influence. I love the clear and biblical way that Teasi clarifies purpose and calling. This book is informative and inspiring and I am so glad it was my first read of the new year in which my aim is focus. God is goo!
