Overview

In April 2016, Dr. Ryan C. MacPherson delivered four plenary addresses for Wittenberg Academy’s Family Retreat. The theme was Vocatio, Latin for “calling.” Your vocation is how your station in life, or calling, serves as a channel of God’s blessings to the people around you. These video archives provide background training that may assist pastors and other instructors in teaching Discovering Your Vocations in the Family, Church, and Society, a free Bible study provided by the Hausvater Project.
