bring the calling academy to your local church
The Calling Academy is a 10 week group course facilitated by a member of your local church to help attendees biblically discern their calling, then practically land a job that's aligned with it, whether that be in the marketplace, the mission field, or entrepreneurship.
Biblical answers to the 10 biggest questions about our callings, as well as biblical teaching on our primary vs. secondary callings.
Discernment of who and where you’re called to serve with your talents and why. This is not a basic conversation about your “passions”. This is an in-depth exploration of your fascinations, subjects you could learn, research, talk about, or teach all day, and the legacy you want to leave behind through your work.
In-depth discernment of innate talents, core values, energy boosters vs. drainers, motivation style, and identification to the tasks they translate to. We ditch basic personality assessments for a detailed understanding of what tasks and functions God has designed you to thrive doing all day long.
Pair your overarching sense of calling with tangible job titles that align with it. We’ll show you how to generate a starting list of job ideas that you can refine and expand on until you find the best match in the next step: refinement.
Learn how to sort through your ideas, come up with better ones, and pick the best career move through informational interview-based market research. This step is what makes all the difference to help you not only gain clarity, but also a network that can lead to job offers.
Now that you confidently know what type of job you feel called to apply for, it's time to tell your career story through an exceptionally tailored resume and LinkedIn presence that demonstrates excellence and a heart to serve that can make recruiters put your application at the top of the stack.
Supercharge your applications with 8 creative categories of outreach (including dozens of templates we’ve written to give you a head start). In a cattle call of competitors, these make all the difference in helping you stand out like a city on a hill.
Ace your interviews with advanced prep techniques that show you are there to serve, not just receive. This includes easy-to-use worksheets to help you predict their questions, share your best examples, and ask questions that leave an incredible impression.
Learn to negotiate your offer with wisdom, integrity, and grace. This is a normal professional practice that Christians need to know how to do well with market-backed numbers and strong reasoning that honors your employer while best supporting your family, community, and generosity.
In career changes, this often comes in spades through lies from the enemy, discouragement, imposter syndrome, lack of motivation, poor follow-through, and beyond. In this extremely important lesson, we will identify and uproot the lies and half-truths that are holding you back, as well as teach biblical mindset tools that can create lasting change.
Watch our 1.5 hour video masterclass on how to avoid the top 5 most common mistakes so you can define and validate your business idea, make your first sales, and start strong. This class is taught by multi-time founder Kelsey Kemp, creator of The Called Career and Job Dictionary. A past student said this masterclass alone was more impactful to their business than a popular business course they paid $900 to take.
In this video bonus lesson, our lead facilitator, Matthew Webb, shares how to evaluate opportunities at multiple churches and Christian organizations with integrity, wisdom, and grace, along with other lessons he learned from his recent recruiting experience.

of knowing what is up to you vs what is up to God (we’ll give you hours of biblical studies to clarify your most in-depth theological questions about discerning God’s will)
that comes from knowing how to create what you really want, whether it’s to pivot industries, become a thought leader, work for a dream company, or start a business
that comes from clear instruction and accountability that helps you hit your job hunt milestones at an encouraging pace
of never having to write from scratch when applying to jobs. We’ll help you draft an exceptional resume, LinkedIn profile, and networking emails with tried and true templates we’ve tested thousands of times.
that comes from learning to address fears, rather than ignoring them. We’ll give you the tools that have helped hundreds of our clients gain relief from insecurities, and confidently grow into who they were created to be.
that comes from experiencing our thorough, “no stone left unturned” approach to gain the often-forgotten intel that’s essential to making confident career decisions.
This curriculum has helped hundreds of Christians professionals ranging from 17-65 years old, blue collar and executives alike, from New York to New Zealand, in industries like healthcare, sales, marketing, education, law, engineering, human resources, art, manufacturing, ministry, and beyond. The class has adaptations every week to cater homework steps to students, young professionals, and experienced professionals to cater to their unique needs.
The curriculum is composed of 10 weekly in-person classes that are approximately 2 hours in length, including time for teaching, exercises, discussion, and breaks. The teaching segment of each class will be delivered via pre-recorded videos, so the facilitator only has to manage the classroom, not teach the content. Between classes, members will be guided through 1-3 hours of additional homework to do on their own time, using a mix of their workbook, additional online lessons, and resources we provide through their online class portal.
