To be wrecked begins with an experience that pulls you out of your comfort zone and self-centeredness, whether you want it or not.
We must wake up. If we are going to find our callings, we must live intentionally and audaciously. And we must be generous. This choice is not an easy one, and it doesn't come naturally, but it's how...
...we find our vocations not by focusing on ourselves, but by focusing on others.
