A guest post by Church of the Brethren young adult Jenna Walmer
has been shared on the Office of Public Witness blog. Walmer, who will
attend Bridgewater (Va.) College in the fall, writes about her work to
discern a calling in life, and how it relates to a “job shadowing” visit
she made to the Office of Public Witness. She had been preparing to
become a physical therapist, but “being raised in the Church of the
Brethren provided me with a passion for peace, and as I grow up that
passion burns brighter,” she wrote. “Fast forward to this past summer in
Colorado, I had a change of heart. I spent a few days with seminary
professors before National Youth Conference exploring my call. During
Exploring Your Call, we explored ways we know it is God’s will for what
we are pursuing. One that especially applies to me is the compelling of
the Holy Spirit, or nudges from God. Over the past few years, the word
“peace” has been etched in my heart, and during that week I recognized
that this is where I was being ‘nudged.’” Read her full blogpost at
