The Faith & Work Podcast

What does hopeful collaboration look like in the context of education? In this episode, we had the privilege of interviewing Tracey Beal, founder and CEO of School Connect, a model of strategic collaboration that helps schools accomplish their goals while fostering win/win partnerships with a diverse range of stakeholders. Listen in and hear more about how lives can be transformed through the power of trusted relationships.

Belonging is the central orientation of a sheep to the shepherd and of our lives with God. No matter how far we have wandered, God goes after us, bringing us back, and invites us to offer belonging to others.

When you think about your purpose do you think about the role your work plays? Are individuals limited to a singular purpose in life? Listen in as The Faith & Work Podcast interviews Jon Coleman author of the book Crafting Your Purpose and Managing Partner at Sovereign's Capital, a faith-driven investing company. In this episode, we discuss some of Jon's findings on the topic of purpose and the unique perspective our Christian faith brings to the table.

The primary tool shepherds use to lead their sheep is their voice. How does God use his voice to lead us? Where does God lead us to find "green pastures and still waters"? Turns out God often uses his voice to lead us into (not away from) difficulty and brokenness and injustice.

The Faith & Work Podcast continues with the feature of our new podcast Teach Us To Pray! Listen in to episode 2, as we take a deeper look at this familiar verse of Psalm 23:1 - "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing."

Listen in as we discuss the difference it can make when you shift from thinking about your work as just a job to treating it as a craft.

Today The Faith & Work Podcast kicks off a short series called "Who are the people in your neighborhood?" We wanted to hear from people who work and lead in the industries we interact with every day - janitors, coffee baristas, teachers, etc. We will be asking these practitioners what it looks like to integrate their faith and work in the context of their every day. In this episode, we hear from Greg & Christy Sauer, co-owners and founders of True Clean Denver, a commercial cleaning company serving 50+ properties in the metro area.

What does it look like to thrive? Listen in as The Faith & Work Podcast talks with Ross Chapman, CEO of Denver Institute, on what Harvard and Scripture have to say about flourishing in all aspects of life.

On this episode of The Faith & Work Podcast, the discussion is centered on the unlikely topic of the subversive nature of The Lord's Prayer. Listen in as Joanna Meyer and Abby Worland interview D.J.
