Lifework Podcast

Rediscovering Work: How Faith, Trades, and Education Shape Our Purpose

Williams Baptist University

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.
