Most Christians know what they have been saved from but not what they have been saved for. Handcrafted Calling is a transformative 6-session journey that helps adults of all ages uncover their personal calling.
Empower people of all ages to discern, articulate, and live out their personal calling in the everyday places of life. Without it, most Christians are left with only a vague sense of the unique value they bring to the world around them. But, the more people in a church who have a clear understanding of the depth of their unique purpose, the greater the collective gospel influence of the church in the everyday places of life.

In Episode 34 of the Reinventing Church podcast, Pastors Derek Sanford and Scott Michel discuss how Handcrafted Calling is transforming Grace Church’s approach to disciple-making.
How is Handcrafted Calling different from spiritual gifts or personality assessments?
Traditional gift assessments are often too simple, too complex, or too disconnected from people’s daily lives. Handcrafted Calling helps everyday disciples connect the dots between their identity in Christ, their story, and their passions, so they can gain real clarity about what God is calling them to do.
This goes beyond identifying a specific job or ministry role. It helps people understand how God has uniquely designed them—whether as a student, a parent, someone serving in full-time ministry, or a corporate executive—while also helping churches train up disciples that live on mission wherever they are.
Who is Handcrafted Calling best suited for?
Handcrafted is designed for anyone who senses they were made for a purpose and wants to step more fully into that calling. It often helps passive churchgoers move from simply attending on Sundays to living on mission throughout the week.
How does Handcrafted Calling fit into a larger disciple-making pathway?
Handcrafted Calling helps people move from participation to purpose. As individuals gain clarity on what God is calling them to do—and how to live it out in every part of life—they become better equipped to make disciples right where they already live, work, and serve.
The process also helps participants see how their calling fits within the larger mission of the church. If “calling” is what God has uniquely designed each person to do, “mission” is what the church does together.
This is key for moving beyond the common barrier of fourth-generation disciple-making. When people see how their everyday calling contributes to a shared mission, disciple-making becomes more than a personal aspiration—it becomes a culture that multiplies across generations.
