Short description:

A man spraying sidewalks at Florida State reminded me of something powerful: you can often recognize faith by the way someone works.

Full Description:

While visiting his daughter at Florida State University, Buddy noticed something that stopped him in his tracks.

A campus worker spraying sidewalks caught his attention — not because of what he said, but because of how he worked.

Focused. Intentional. Taking pride in every step.

Buddy stood there for several minutes watching him before finally walking over and asking a simple question:

“Are you a Christian?”

The answer confirmed something powerful.

In this episode, Buddy unpacks the difference between busyness and biblical work, and why Scripture makes it clear that followers of Christ should bring excellence, diligence, and integrity into everything they do.

From Colossians 3:23 to Genesis 2:15, Buddy explores why work isn’t the problem — but distraction, laziness, and anxious striving are.

Faith isn’t just what we say.

Faith shows up in how we work… even when nobody’s watching.

Work hard.

Work with integrity.

Work like someone is watching.

Because someone is.

• Matthew 7:16
• Genesis 2:15
• Proverbs 10:4
• 2 Thessalonians 3:10
