This workbook is designed to accompany the book, Unrepeatable: Cultivating the Unique Calling of Every Person, by Luke Burgis and Joshua Miller, PhD. The primary audience of the book is mentors who have formational responsibility for youth. Burgis and Miller argue, especially on the basis of Saint John Paul II¿s pastoral vision, that the flourishing of human beings and the renewal of civilization depend upon helping each human person realize his/her unique calling. After describing the reality of personal vocation and cultural factors that impede it, the authors show fundamental ways that mentors can cultivate the personal vocations of youth: drawing out achievement stories that reveal unique motivational design, listening with deep empathy, and teaching key steps of discernment. The workbook is full of practical exercises to help youth work through steps of discernment so that they can more fully live their personal vocations now and gain tools for life long effective decision making .The eight sessions of the workbook correspond closely with the book itself. Session One is devoted to orientation. Participants determine an important decision they can make in the course of the program, commit to prayer, and recruit a companion who will help them with various exercises. Session Two is about contemporary cultural factors that impact how we discern and shape the world in which we serve. Session Three helps participants reveal stories of achievement, which hold critical clues to personal vocation. Session Four is about the importance of empathetically listening to one another¿s stories. This sets relational contexts ripe for personal flourishing. Session Five is about unique motivational design revealed by stories. Session Six centers on the multi-layered meaning of personal vocation. Session Seven is about gaining key skills for making good decisions and daily discernment. Session Eight centers on helping youth name their own personal vocations and critical missions for living them out. People can go through the workbook individually or in a group context. When used in a group context, each session is designed to last 60-90 minutes.

Chaput, OFM, Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia “This spiritually grounded, easy-to-read treatise is a solid piece of research, and yet is still packed throughout with supporting anecdotes that the reader will recognize and appreciate. Eminently practicable, Unrepeatable is for every Christian, especially the teacher, counselor, or spiritual director, who is truly serious about sifting through the cultural morass to find the ‘right’ vocation, rather than just a job.” —Bishop Robert Barron, Auxiliary Bishop, Archdiocese of Los Angeles What if we were able to gain profound insight into the unique design, creative drive, and potential destiny of the people in our lives? The bold promise of this book is that we can. This ability carries an awesome responsibility: We must all be mentors and midwives to the personal vocations of others. Unrepeatable is about the urgent need for each of us to cultivate the vocations of others and the steps we should take to do it well. By smartly weaving evocative stories of those who have radically lived out their callings with practical tools for discernment and mentorship, Luke Burgis and Joshua Miller—who have a combined twenty-five years of experience helping people and organizations discover their purpose—turn staid perceptions of vocation on their head. Unrepeatable will equip you to: • Renew your church, school, community, or company by empowering every member to discover, embrace, and fully live out their unique calling • Confidently teach and mentor young people in critical skills of discernment and decision-making • Know and be known by others in a deeply personal way through a technique that unlocks and awakens the deepest desires of the heart As we enter into the stories of others’ lives, we enter into the story of God’s love. There is no greater adventure. Unrepeatable invites you to be a part of it.

Download and read online ebook Forming Intentional Disciples write by Sherry A. Weddell. This book was released on 2015-11-30. Forming Intentional Disciples available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. How can we transmit a living, personal Catholic faith to future generations? By coming to know Jesus Christ, and following him as his disciples. These are times of immense challenge and immense opportunity for the Catholic Church. Consider these statistics for the United States. Only 30 percent of Americans who were raised Catholic are still practicing. Fully 10 percent of all adults in America are ex-Catholics. The number of marriages celebrated in the Church decreased dramatically, by nearly 60 percent, between 1972 and 2010. Only 60 percent of Catholics believe in a personal God. If the Church is to reverse these trends, the evangelizers must first be evangelized-in other words, Catholics-in-the-pew must make a conscious choice to know and follow Jesus before they can draw others to him. This work of discipleship lies at the heart of Forming Intentional Disciples, a book designed to help Church leaders, parish staff and all Catholics transform parish life from within. Drawing upon her fifteen years of experience with the Catherine of Siena Institute, Sherry Weddell leads readers through steps that will help Catholics enter more deeply into a relationship with God and the river of apostolic creativity, charisms, and vocation that flow from that relationship for the sake of the Church and the world. Learn about the five thresholds of postmodern conversion, how to open a conversation about faith and belief, how to ask thought-provoking questions and establish an atmosphere of trust, when to tell the Great Story of Jesus, how to help someone respond to God's call to intentional discipleship, and much more. And be prepared for conversion because when life at the parish level changes, the life of the whole Church will change.
