Here's what people say about
Christian Calling Quest
Dr. Steve Cordle
Church Multiplication Director
for the Global Methodist Church.
Exec. Dir., River Network International.
When I was processing significant questions about my next season in ministry, I turned to R.J., and I’m so glad I did. The Lord used her coaching to bring me much-needed perspective on where I was and greater clarity on where I’m going. It was like she could stand above the fray and share the view that I could not see. Many times, I sensed God’s voice through her words. She helped me discern the path I was on, and her observations have proved accurate. I’m delighted to recommend R.J. to you.
Dale Roddy
Exec. Dir. of Pastor Development
at The Table Church.
Executive Director of Steel City Table.
R.J.'s coaching and resources have been invaluable to my life and ministry, especially navigating through the Valley of Identity and into Fulfillment. Without her research-based guidance, it would have been a far more confusing and harrowing journey. With Christian Calling Quest, I found the support, tools, and encouragement to follow God's leading into an exciting new phase of calling. Thank you, R.J.!
Christian Calling Quest was a deeply renewing experience for me as a ministry leader. R.J. Scherba’s tools—like Godversation, identity mapping, and the Fulfillment Calling Statement—helped me reconnect with God’s voice and realign my service with His specific calling on my life. This process brought clarity, healing, and fresh vision for ministry, equipping me to lead with greater confidence and joy in my Fulfillment Stage.
Do you worry that the best years of your calling are behind you?
Do you worry that the
best years of your calling
are already behind you?
Your Worry:
Many Christians age 50+ reach a season when they begin to wonder:
- Have I already experienced the most important years of my calling?
- Is God finished using me in significant ways?
- Why do I feel restless or dissatisfied?
- What if I've missed God's best plan for my life?
- Am I too old to make a meaningful difference?
Perhaps you've experienced retirement, an empty nest, a move, a health challenge, a ministry disappointment, or simply a growing sense that something is missing.
You long to make your greatest Kingdom impact.
Yet part of you wonders if it's too late.
God's Plan:
What if this season isn't a sign that your calling is ending?
What if it's a sign that God is preparing you for something new?
Many Christians age 50+ enter what Tony Stoltzfus calls the Valley of Identity—a season that feels confusing because God is reshaping their understanding of who they are and where He is leading them next.
But the Valley of Identity is not the end of your calling. It is often God's pathway into the Fulfillment Stage of your Calling Journey, where your gifts, experiences, wisdom, and spiritual maturity come together in powerful new ways.
The best years of your calling may not be behind you. They may be just ahead.
We are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10)

How God Used This Process to Change Lives
In 2023, having just turned 50, I worked with R.J. during a major life transition. Her coaching unveiled transformative concepts about the stages of identity and the journey toward Fulfillment that gave me the clarity I desperately needed. R.J.’s practical approach helped me discern God’s leading and understand where I was in my valley season. She grounds every session in prayer and the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Her expertise in helping those age 50+ navigate calling and purpose is unmatched. R.J.’s wisdom illuminated my path forward with biblical insight and actionable direction.

Barak Strickland
Working with R.J. helped transform my relationship with God and clarified my calling in ways I never expected. She gently guided me to hear God’s voice more personally, unpack lifelong patterns, and understand where I am in my Calling Valley. Her tools, questions, and spiritual insight were very helpful. I now have renewed hope, deeper intimacy with the Father, and growing confidence in the unique purpose He’s prepared for me.
Paula Cackowski
Retired Leader at a
Federal Government Agency
R.J. coached with compassion and poured herself into helping me identify my strengths and find comfort in places of brokenness. Her coaching helped me transition into retirement and get through the unimaginable grief of losing my brother to a tragic, accidental death and a lifetime friend to cancer. Through these losses and grief, God took me into fulfillment, a place of peaceful realization that God is all I need. R.J.’s coaching changed my life forever! Thank you, R.J., you are a blessing!
For the Price of a Weekend Retreat ...
The most popular level of Christian Calling Quest costs no more than a weekend retreat.
But unlike a weekend event that ends after a few days, Christian Calling Quest gives you lifetime access to a proven process you can revisit whenever you need encouragement, clarity, or direction. You'll receive more than 70 video lessons, a results-focused workbook, exclusive calling tools, and a supportive community to help you continue moving forward.
Christian Calling Quest is designed to guide you from the uncertainty of your Calling Valley into the fulfillment of your God-given calling—surrounded by people who understand how deeply this journey matters to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Lifetime access means you can return to Christian Calling Quest whenever you need it—for as long as the course remains available online.
While no one can guarantee a website will exist forever, my goal is to keep Christian Calling Quest available for decades so you can revisit the lessons whenever God leads you into a new season.
You can watch all 70 lessons in about 18 hours.
However, Christian Calling Quest is much more than a video course. The greatest transformation comes as you prayerfully complete the workbook exercises and apply what God is teaching you.
Some students move through the course in a few weeks, while others spread it over several months. You can learn at your own pace and revisit the lessons anytime.
If you can use email and browse the internet, you can use Christian Calling Quest.
The course is designed to be simple and easy to navigate. If you ever need help, technical support is available, and I'll point you to everything you need to get started.
Monthly Zoom gatherings provide ongoing encouragement, teaching, Q&A, accountability, and prayer as you continue your calling journey.
They're also an opportunity to celebrate progress, ask questions, and connect with R.J. and other students who understand the unique challenges of discovering God's calling after age 50.
Personal coaching gives you individualized guidance as you apply Christian Calling Quest to your unique calling journey. Together, we'll work through your questions, overcome obstacles, and identify practical next steps with greater clarity and confidence.
Each coaching session lasts 50 minutes and is tailored to your specific needs. Whether you'd like help applying the course, navigating a difficult decision, or discerning God's direction for your next season, I'll provide practical coaching, biblical encouragement, and personalized next steps.
No, and here's why.
Discovering and fulfilling your calling is ultimately God's work, so no human being can promise specific results.
What I can promise is a proven biblical process, practical tools, and faithful guidance that have already helped many people gain clarity and move forward in their calling.
Christian Calling Quest is designed to serve Christians from a wide range of biblical church traditions. Over the years, I've coached clients from many denominations, including Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran, Catholic, and non-denominational churches.
I grew up Southern Baptist, earned a master's degree from Bethel Seminary, served as a Discipleship Pastor, and now attend a non-denominational church.
While Christians may differ on some secondary doctrines, this course focuses on the biblical truths we share about following Christ, discerning God's guidance, and fulfilling His purpose for our lives. Throughout the course, I encourage you to compare everything you learn with Scripture.
Maybe.
Christian Calling Quest was created specifically for adults age 50+ because the second half of life brings unique calling questions.
However, if you're younger and strongly identify with this season of transition, you may still benefit from the course.
And because your enrollment is protected by a 14-day satisfaction guarantee, you can determine whether it's the right fit without risk.
Absolutely.
Retirement often creates one of the biggest calling transitions in life. Christian Calling Quest is designed to help you discover how God may be inviting you into a new season of purpose, impact, and fulfillment—not simply more free time.
That's exactly why Christian Calling Quest exists.
You don't need to begin the course with clarity. You'll be guided through a biblical, step-by-step process designed to help you discern God's direction for your next season.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee for 14 Days
I want to enroll you with confidence. If, within 14 days, you decide Christian Calling Quest isn't the right fit for you, simply let me know, and I'll gladly refund your purchase. No complicated forms. No hard feelings.
One Last Word from Previous Students
R.J.’s curriculum was like taking an adventure with an experienced guide, visiting places I would have bypassed, not knowing I was missing something grand. The exercises I found most difficult were the ones that unearthed the most treasure. The material on prayer guided me to a deeper, more interactive discourse with God. The identity material helped me discover things about my older self, and it was mind-altering to pursue God’s perspective on what I discovered. Christian Calling Quest led me to hear more clearly the One who calls.

Having R.J. as my Christian Coach has been an incredible God-inspired experience; she has become my spiritual advisor! My relationship with God has grown deeper, and I am able to discern His wisdom and vision for my life. I am more aware of God’s presence, and I have learned to let God direct my journey or plan for my life; His voice and actions are now very clear and distinct.
After suffering ischemic strokes, my life drastically changed. As a speaker, advisor, and leader of men, I lost my confidence and questioned my purpose. R.J.’s wisdom and resources guided and encouraged me. I found clarity and rebuilt my confidence. Today, I feel stronger and more hopeful. I wholeheartedly recommend R.J. to anyone who wants to grow in their life and calling.
