Written by Tom Mepham on February 10, 2020. Posted in Faith & spiritual life.

Student Soul's ethos is summed up in three words: "called, equipped, sent." To be called is to claim your identity as a human with purpose and direction given by the creator. It's an invitation to follow Jesus and live into your true identity, choosing a life of meaning and purpose. The general call of God lies upon all humanity, but as you align yourself toward Christ, you may discover a unique and specific call, leading you deeper into God and yourself. Welcome to the journey!
