Paid Staff

FamilyLife has opportunities for men and women who have a passion for the family, people who want to make a difference in our culture.

To begin evaluating God’s call for your life, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Have you committed your life to the lordship of Jesus Christ?
Your life takes on new meaning and impact when you wholeheartedly follow Christ. “And He [Jesus] was saying to them all, ‘If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me'” (Luke 9:23)

2. Have you considered your role in the Great Commission?
Obeying Jesus’ command is key to making your life count. “‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations'” (Matthew 28:18b-19a).

3. Is your life captured by the cause?
To make your life count, your heart must be aflame for the cause of Christ. “‘For the Son of Man has come to seek and save that which was lost'” (Luke 19:10). “‘But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God'” (Acts 20:24).
