Answer the Call | Christian Career Coaching

In this episode, my former client, Michelyn Smith, shares how she clarified her calling and ended up pivoting from a Fortune 500 company to a completely new, and unexpected, industry. This journey was not without its fair share of doubt and hesitation, so tune in to hear about how Michelyn overcame these obstacles to land a job that aligns with her calling.

In this episode, Audrey Bagarus and I chat about WHY I started planning for this sabbatical (hello burnout), why it took 2 years, how we pulled it off, what we learned, why it actually GREW our business and advanced our careers, and why we think you should start planning a sabbatical of your own, whether you own a small business or have a traditional job.

Does your work actually matter for eternity? Sadly, most believers don’t think so. That’s why I sat down with my all-time favorite nonfiction author and HERO in the faith and work space, Jordan Raynor, to discuss his latest (and maybe greatest) book, The Sacredness of Secular Work: 4 Ways Your Job Matters for Eternity (Even When You're Not Sharing the Gospel). And in honor of the book’s release today, I finally get to share it with you. I can hardly believe how much wisdom he packed into this one conversation, sharing: Some of the biggest lies and twisted truths perpetuated by the western evangelical church about work Why treating the Great Commission as the only commission ironically makes us much less effective at spreading the good news The key to seeing how 100% of your time at work matters to God Why abridging the gospel down to “the good news that Jesus came to save people from their sins” is to inadvertently accuse Jesus of being “loser instead of Lord”, and what the true message is instead The truth behind half-truths like “earth is our temporary home” and “we will worship for eternity” (this was huge for me)  A summary of God’s plan for work from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22 And toward the end, I couldn’t help but ask, how is this book different than Every Good Endeavor - the book by Tim Keller that greatly influenced both my work and Jordan’s. You have to hear his answer. There is SO much life-altering information in The Sacredness of Secular Work that I can almost guarantee you haven’t heard. Enjoy every minute of this interview with my hero, Jordan Raynor.

In this episode, my former client, Kyle, shares his RIVETING story of leaving tech consulting to become a financial advisor - only AFTER God majorly intervened in the 11th hour of his job hunt. (Hint: we thought landscape architecture or client success management was going to be the winner. Financial advising wasn't really on the horizon until God made it abundantly clear!) Tune in to hear the full, wild story, as well as some of the profound lessons he learned along the way. NOTE: This interview was recorded on Feb 6th, 2022. In the year since, Kyle has continued to flourish and feel confirmed as a financial advisor at Edward Jones. I'll have to have him on for a round 2 to share more updates!

Everything changed for me when I was willing to lose it all. In this podcast, I share how holding on to "must haves" like a high salary or a high status job title might be holding you back from being able to perceive your true calling from God.

Want to learn how to make a major career pivot? There's no one better to be inspired by than Alex Arpag! Alex and I worked together last year to help him pivot from videography for a nonprofit ministry organization to client success management in tech, landing a whopping $53K salary increase without a traditional background for his new role. Even crazier? Six months after recording this interview, he used the exact same process we worked through, primarily focused on networking, to land an even bigger opportunity at a dream organization, well surpassing the six-figure mark. It goes to show that A LOT can change in a year with hard work and persistence to keep putting yourself out there until you get the opportunity to serve in a role you were made for. You're a legend, Alex!
