Lifework Podcast
The Lifework Podcast is where faith, purpose, and calling come together. Hosted by Williams Baptist University President Dr. Stan Norman, this podcast explores the theology of work and why it matters for every believer. At Williams, we believe education is more than a degree — it’s preparation for a Christ-centered life of influence and service.
Through thoughtful conversations with faculty, leaders, and friends of WBU, the Lifework Podcast unpacks how God designed us to find meaning in our work and live out our calling in every sphere of life. Our goal is to inspire and equip listeners to see their lifework not just as a career, but as a way to glorify God and impact the world.

LifeWork is a podcast devoted to understanding God’s purpose for our lives through work. Hosted by Dr. Stan Norman, President of Williams Baptist University, and Dr. Rhynne Putman, Academic Dean, each episode explores how faith and work intersect in ways that shape both individuals and communities. Drawing from personal stories, historical perspectives, and meaningful interactions, the hosts examine how all work—from retail and trades to professions and ministry—contributes to God’s greater plan.
The podcast delves into the value of both blue-collar and white-collar careers, offering a balanced vision that emphasizes classical liberal arts education, workforce-ready skills, and the role of Christian higher education in shaping whole-hearted disciples. With engaging conversations about real-life experiences, mentorship, vocational training, and the evolving needs of today’s workforce, LifeWork helps listeners embrace their calling with purpose and fulfillment in every season of life. Join us as we explore what it means to truly live out God’s purpose through the work we do every day.
