Beyond the Field: Discerning Your Calling, Career and Next Chapter

Beyond the Field

Discerning Your Calling, Career, and Next Chapter

You’re still showing up. You’re still doing the work. But somewhere along the way, a question has taken root: Is this still my assignment?

Beyond the Field is a guided workbook for missionaries who are wondering whether to stay, serve differently, or leave. It’s also for those asking what kind of work might come after years of ministry. Chapter by chapter, you’ll name what you’re experiencing, understand what has changed, and reconnect with who you are beyond your role. You’ll look honestly at your options and take one next step. You won’t be pressured toward any particular answer.

Written by Shonna M. Ingram, PhD who for ten years has walked alongside missionaries through seasons of transition, this workbook brings together trauma-informed care, career guidance, and coaching, with your faith and sense of calling at the center. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You only need to be willing to look honestly at where you are.
