TABLE OF CONTENTS

3CALLING & CAREER WEEK

Dear Montreat College students, faculty, staff, and guests,

Welcome to Calling and Career Week: A Symposium on Work and Vocation. In these pages, you will find many opportunities to explore a broad and deep Christian vision of Calling and Career. As a community we are blessed to have these few days together to think, learn, and be inspired. The symposium is designed to demonstrate a Christian vision of God’s call on our lives and to provide examples from the world of work that illuminate this call.

Why take the time to do this? Now more than ever, it is necessary for Christ-centered colleges like Montreat to produce graduates who are educated for responsible action, able to integrate faith with everyday lives, and equipped for the world of work and study. Graduates who are, to quote our mission statement, equipped to be “agents of transformation, renewal, and reconciliation.”

We are blessed with many faithful authors, thinkers, practitioners, alumni, and friends who have agreed to participate in this symposium. So we encourage you to make the most of this opportunity to learn from them. How? Pray that the Holy Spirit will inspire us to a vision of God’s call; pray for discernment and vision; pray that others will be inspired. Seek out answers to your questions. Connect with alumni, guests, faculty and staff. Celebrate what God is doing in the world.

Our goal (and our prayer) for these few days is that you will grow in a biblical understanding of calling and career, be inspired by the faithfulness of others, and identify practical steps toward work (and study) for God’s glory.

For Christ and His Kingdom,

Tom Oxenreider

WORKSHOP #1Tuesday, Nov. 4, 9:00 a.m.

Connecting Sunday to MondayTom Nelson, Senior Pastor at Christ Community Church, Kansas City, MODeep within us there is a life we long to live, yet we are faced with the inconvenient truth that the life we actually live is often vastly different. Can this gap be closed? Can we more fully experience the life we truly long to live? What is the story the Bible presents to us regarding the life we were designed to live and the contribution we have been created to make in the world? How might we more fully embrace a seamless Gospel faith that makes it possible for us to experience the life we long to live, an integral faith that connects Sunday to Monday?McGowan 117/118

The Language of Leadership: the Calling to Speak Life into OrganizationsLisa Foose, Management Consultant at Development Dimensions, Bridgeville, PAIn this workshop, management consultant Lisa Foose will provide insights for those with a passion for (or even a skeptical interest in) godly leadership and communication as they attempt to faithfully reflect God’s kingdom priorities and shape corporate life, whether on the factory floor, in the boardroom, or in the Church.Library 105

Can I Talk About God at Work? Legal, Ethical, and Other Issues with Sharing Your Faith in the WorkplaceA.J. Rinaldi, Ministry Director at EvanTell, Inc., Dallas, TXMany people are hesitant to talk about their faith among their coworkers due to misunderstanding about the law, concern about offending others, fear, not knowing how.This workshop will address all those issues and more, instilling confidence about how we can gracefully talk about Jesus with our friends and colleagues at work.Morgan 107

The Place of Technology in the Story of RedemptionJohn Dyer, Executive Director of Communications and Educational Technology at Dallas Theological Seminary, Dallas, TXTechnology saturates almost every moment of our lives in our work, play, and relationships. But can the Bible, with its stories of farmers and stone tablets, speak into our fast-paced world? Does God’s plan of redemption have any concern for the tools we make and rely on to live? In this session, we’ll walk through the Scriptures to see the role God gives to technology and draw wisdom for living in today’s world in light of the one to come.Belk 304

WORKSHOP #2Tuesday, Nov. 4, 1:30 p.m.

Living In and Through the Story that Makes Sense of Every StorySteven Garber, Founder and Principal of the Washington Institute for Faith,Vocation, & Culture, Washington, DCIn a culture where nothing is true for everyone everywhere, are there any signposts that tell us who we are and how we are to live? Or does reality adapt? Does the universe readjust? Does history alter, generation by generation? Are there any “meants” and “oughts” and “shoulds” to human life under the sun? If we honestly believe God has spoken into history, what does it mean for the way we understand our lives, our learning, our loves?McGowan 117/118

Following God’s Call in the SciencesJim Shores, Associate Professor of Communication and Environmental Studies at Montreat College Brian Joyce, Professor of Biology and Environmental Studies at Montreat CollegeMark Lassiter, Professor of Biology and Environmental Studies at Montreat CollegeShane Kamer, Associate Professor of Exercise Science at Montreat CollegeHow can a Christian be an effective contributor to the field of science? In a field known for rationalism, skepticism, and proof, how do we speak of faith, prayer, and hope? Come hear the testimony of professors as they speak about their own journey as believers in a world of facts and evidence.Morgan 208

The Macedonian Call: Presenting Christ Cross-CulturallyJohn E. Ellington, Adjunct Professor of Cross-Cultural and Biblical Studies at Montreat CollegeGeorge Foose, President of Equip International, Marion, NCFor some people, God’s call involves leaving their own home and family, learning a new language, and moving into a very different culture. This workshop will consider the factors involved in determining whether or not this is God’s desire for a particular individual or family. Cross-cultural ministry is not limited to preaching and teaching. Any skill a person acquires may be used by God in another cultural setting.Belk 305

Filmmaking: Being a Christian ArtistGuillermo Navarro, Award-winning Filmmaker and Creator of the School of Digital Filmmaking, the School of Acting for the Screen, and the Applied Filmmaking course at the University of the Nations, HawaiiAs a Christian, following an artistic vocation presents unique challenges. This workshop will discuss the topics of career and vocation as they relate to filmmaking and other artistic pursuits.Morgan 110

Writing as a Way of SeekingKimberly Angle, Associate Professor of English and Creative Writing at Montreat CollegeIn this workshop we will explore our identities as writers and think about writing as vocation and writing as Christians. Can writers really make a living? What are the differences between desires, passions, calling, and vocation? Is vocation sometimes different from career/job? What does it really mean to be a “Christian writer?”Library 105


Worship is the Work of God’s PeopleTimothy Wilds, Worship Arts Program Director at Montreat CollegeThe Vocation Symposium will challenge us to think of vocation, or work, as an act of worship to God. As important and true as that concept is, it is also important for Christians to understand that worship requires work. In many 21st century American churches, people sit passively while others perform. Such a model denies the people of God the right to work in worship. This workshop will provide answers to the question: “What are God’s people to do when they gather for worship?”Gaither 27

Alumni Panel: Seeking and Following Christ in Your Calling and CareerDave Walters, Director of Development and Alumni Relations at Montreat College Alumni Panelists: Chuck Hood, Jay Guffey, Rex Hoffman, Fran Aceto, Bill McGee, John Shannon, Alecia RhinehartMontreat College now, but what’s next?

Inspiring Student Engagement in the Classroom Based on a Christian PerspectiveRay Ferguson, Adjunct Professor of Education and Educational Consultant at Montreat College Debbie Presnell, Adjunct Professor of Education at Montreat CollegeCaroline Mellard Clark, 4th Grade Teacher, Black Mountain Elementary SchoolMatthew 5:16 says, “Shine the light in a dark world!” For teachers, this means we are to be a source of light and inspiration in our classrooms. The education department of Montreat College invites you to learn how to integrate biblical principles into the elementary school curriculum without crossing legal boundaries. God tells us we are special, worthy, accepted, and forgiven. He bestows on us compassion, justice, and mercy. With God’s help, we can extend these same ideals to our students while we serve them.Belk 306

WORKSHOP #3Tuesday, Nov. 4, 3:00 p.m.

The Grit and Grace of Academic FaithfulnessDonald Opitz, Campus Pastor at Messiah College, Mechanicsburg, PADon likes to use the word “callings” instead of “calling” because the Christian life is the opportunity and adventure of pursuing multi-faceted faithfulness. In this session we will explore one of those callings: the call to love the Lord God with all of your mind during the college years. Don can’t promise “you’ll never study the same way again,” but then again, it’s possible.Chapel of the Prodigal

On Being a Life-long Learner: Using Books as Tools for Discerning Christian VocationByron Borger, Owner of Hearts and Minds Bookstore, Dallastown, PAOur resident bookseller will offer an energetic plea for taking the life of the mind seriously, reading widely as a spiritual discipline, and coming to realize how books can help us with a wide-as-life, culturally relevant sort of discipleship. With inspiring stories from history and his own life, and plenty of biblical insight, we will be inspired to “think Christianly” about all of life, especially as we discern our vocational callings and prepare to serve God in our careers and workplaces.Morgan 110

Following Your Faith in a Political WorldAshley Craig, Digital Media Specialist at PJTV, Washington, DCThis workshop will talk about the challenges that Montreat College alumna Ashley Craig has faced as a Christian working in the political industry.

Experiencing God in the World: Faith and FarmingStephen Milliken, Assistant Dean of Student Life and Resident Director at Montreat CollegeThis past year was the first time in decades that the numbers of people growing their own food increased. With the resurgence of interest in farming, it will be essential to cultivate our ability to see how stewardship of the soil through various agrarian practices can enrich our relation to and experience of God. As we seek to be faithful for and responsible to one another and to creation, we can begin to explore, discover, and understand how God works in the midst of the world around us.Belk 305

What Are You Made For? Vocation in a Biblical Paradigm of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and ConsummationDavid Taylor, Chaplain and Dean of Spiritual Formation at Montreat CollegeOne’s vocation is rooted in the reality of being made in the image of God. The story of God’s redemption provides a paradigm for how to live out that fundamental purpose of humane existence, from being created in the image of God, the effects of sin on our vocation, how Jesus redeems our fundamental vocation, and how our vocation points to our heavenly destination.Library 105

Psychology and Spiritual Formation Brad Faircloth, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Montreat CollegeThe intention of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussing areas of overlap between the field of psychology and spiritual formation. Special emphasis will also be given to topics related to vocation and calling. Participants in this workshop can expect to gain knowledge and awareness of the wide array of professional opportunities available to psychology majors. In addition, participants can expect to learn about how psychological theory and practice inform and support the spiritual formation of individuals.Belk 219
