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. For this price, you'll receive long-term access to 10 times the teaching of a weekend event, along with a results-oriented workbook, numerous exclusive tools, and ongoing engagement with the teacher and students through three different community formats. The community component is invaluable, offering encouragement and accountability to reach the pinnacle of your lifelong Christian Calling.
Christian Calling Quest offers exceptional value by guiding you from the confusion of your Calling Valley at age 50+ to the Mountaintop of Fulfilling Your Calling, all within a community that understands how important it is to you.
To R.J.'s knowledge, there is no other comprehensive resource specifically designed to help adults age 50+ find and fulfill their Christian calling—whether through a conference, weekend retreat, university, seminary, coaching program, or online course.
Frequently Asked Questions
"Lifetime access" to Christian Calling Quest means you will have unlimited access to all course materials for as long as the course remains online. This term is common in the online course world, but R.J. wants to be sure you understand it. She hopes to keep Christian Calling Quest online for decades, but she can't predict the future, as is the case with any online course.
If you can handle email and basic Internet browsing, you can handle the basic technology of Christian Calling Quest. When you enroll, a Welcome Email will direct you to the Course Introduction Page. There, you'll see the first video and click Play, just as you would with any other video. Every course page includes links to the workbook and technical support. You'll also receive a link to set up a Facebook account (if you don't already have one) to stay in touch with R.J. and the enrolled students.
If you purchase the Trailblazer or Pathfinder tier, you'll receive an email with a Zoom link for each monthly call. R.J. will consistently offer encouragement and advice to help you find and fulfill your calling at age 50+. Additionally, R.J. will invite everyone to ask questions and share their challenges and successes. Think of the Zoom calls as a private community for ongoing support, encouragement, and accountability.
That depends on what you mean by "complete." You can watch all 70 videos in 18 hours (faster by increasing the play speed). It will, of course, take longer than that to talk with God about them and apply what you learn. How long it takes to get the full benefit of the course depends on where you are in your Christian Calling Journey and God's timing for your calling. If you're halfway through your Valley of Identity, you might get the full benefit in a few months. If you're at the start of your Valley of Identity, it could take a year or more to apply all the concepts. Either way, you're almost certain to reach your Fulfillment Stage sooner with Christian Calling Quest than without it, because you'll discover more quickly how God wants you to move forward. Finding and fulfilling your calling at age 50+ cannot be rushed. You're heading into the most impactful phase of your Christian calling, and it takes time to grow into it.
R.J. grew up Southern Baptist and remained in that denomination until she was 30. The church where she served as a discipleship and leadership pastor was a United Methodist Church that later became a Global Methodist Church. R.J. and her husband are currently members of a non-denominational church. However, she has successfully coached clients from many Christian traditions, including Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran, and Catholic. R.J. has never coached anyone who disagreed with Christian Calling Quest's theology enough to consider dropping out.
No. Finding and fulfilling your calling is ultimately a God thing. Therefore, no human being can guarantee those results. However, the purpose of Christian Calling Quest is to offer you a process and tools that have proven helpful and transformational for many people in finding and fulfilling their calling at age 50+.
Coaching calls with R.J. last 50 minutes. The client sets the agenda with R.J.'s guidance. For example, the client might want to discuss something from the course, or something from another part of his or her life or calling. The client might also ask for additional teaching, encouragement, accountability, or other resources. Each call begins with R.J. asking what the client wants to get out of the call and concludes with key takeaways and next steps. The main goals of the coaching calls are to grow a next-level relationship with Christ and to see real progress in finding and fulfilling your Christian calling.
Maybe, for two reasons. First, Christian Calling Quest might help you if you're under age 50 and have already reached your Valley of Identity. That's not common, but it does happen. Therefore, if you're under age 50 and strongly identify with what you've been reading on this page, you might have already reached your Valley of Identity. Second, the first twenty lessons of Christian Calling Quest might help you grow in Christ in ways that usually happen only with older people. Either way, you have 14 days to cancel your enrollment and get a full refund if you discover the course is not a good fit for you.

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.

A personal note
I understand how important it is for you to find and fulfill your Christian calling. God has placed that deep desire in your heart, just as He has in mine.
Whether or not Christian Calling Quest is the right step for you, I sincerely pray that God gives you greater clarity, renewed hope, and confidence for the season ahead.
If I can help in any way, I'd love to hear from you.
