22: Growing on Purpose: Career Path Planning with Dennis Metcalf

On this LDHR Podcast episode Beth interviews Dennis Metcalf about the Career Path Planning tool — a God-centered process to help ministry workers discern calling, clarify strengths, and plan growth. Dennis explains the three-part Career Pathway Map (Know, Discern, Grow) and the Five E’s of development (Expose, Equip, Experience, Evaluate, Environment).

The episode emphasizes listening to God rather than rushing decisions, practical next steps for leaders and staff, and how the tool creates space to make faithful, fruit-bearing choices in vocational ministry.
