Dr. Park shares his journey and passion for helping people discover their calling, whether it's in ministry, dentistry, or any other field. He helps unpack the biblical concept of calling, the importance of mentorship, and how everyday tasks can be acts of worship. He also breaks down the difference between interests and passions and why it's crucial to know the difference.
