Lifework Podcast
Lifework is a conversation about calling, hosted by Dr. Stan Norman, president of Williams Baptist University.
Every episode, Stan sits down with one person, a coach, professor, alum, student, leader, or friend, and works through their story: the opportunity they did not expect, the plan that changed, the mentor who challenged them, and the moment their work began to make sense.
No résumés. No highlight reels. Just honest conversations about faith, purpose, work, and the calling God places on a life.
In Season 3, Stewarding What You’ve Been Given, Lifework asks one recurring question: How are you stewarding what God has already given you? Through stories of leadership, redirection, mentorship, perseverance, and service, each conversation explores what it means to be faithful with the gifts, relationships, responsibilities, and opportunities already in front of us.
Lifework is produced by Williams Baptist University in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas.
