Callings come in many forms—a moment of epiphany, a wise word from a mentor, a quiet prayer before an altar. Dan Claire’s came when the Rapture failed to happen. A fifth-generation Floridian who dropped out of medical school to pursue ministry, Claire pastors the Church of the Resurrection (affectionately nicknamed “Rez”) in Capitol Hill, where he’s served since moving to Washington, D.C. 17 years ago. Before going to seminary, though, he was a student ministry leader at the University of Florida—at a time when Christians in his town were busy preparing for Christ’s imminent second coming. If you’ve also been left behind, then it may be the perfect time to listen to this week’s episode of The Calling, where you’ll hear CT managing editor Richard Clark chat with Dan Claire about being a med school dropout, getting ordained in the Rwandan church, and the challenges he faces pastoring a transient congregation in the heart of the nation’s capitol. Trust us . . . it’ll be (ahem) rapturous. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
