Because it’s easy to get caught up in the day to day distractions, and forget all about the higher ideals that guide us, "Eight Forty-Eight" likes to do a spiritual check-in from time to time. But for some individuals, the daily grind is all about reflection and introspection.

A new documentary series follows a group of diverse young people training to become spiritual leaders within their respective faiths.

Danny Alpert is a director and executive producer behind "The Calling."

Alpert talked to host Alison Cuddy and said the film tracks a common struggle facing those who answer the call to service.
