Summary
Vocation at its deepest level is "something I can't not do, for reasons I'm unable to explain to anyone else and don't fully understand myself, but are nonetheless compelling." This description from Parker Palmer frames the journey of chaplain Jenny Richards. She says, "If there is an openness to life, then I think vocation is where we meet our desires and our love of God. They meet, and if I think it's something I can't not do, that's very compelling. And it's terrifying." In Episode 265, Jenny joins Cynthia and Susan for a conversation about the remarkable path she's walking, and how she came to be on it.
