Join WBU President Dr. Stan Norman and Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Rhyne Putman on the "Lifework Podcast," where they explore the theology of work and its impact on our lives. At Williams Baptist University, the work program is vital, and the idea that every job is a calling from God is central to our mission. Tune in to discover how we are inherently designed by our creator to seek purpose and fulfillment in our work, and how this belief can transform the way we approach our careers. Join us as we discuss how the theology of work can inspire and empower us to live out our calling in any profession.

Imaging God in Our Work: Blue Collar, White Collar, and Beyond
Welcome to Lifework Podcast, where we explore faith, vocation, and the beauty of hard work. Co-hosts Stan Norman and Rhyne Putman dive into a thought-provoking question: If God were a worker, would He be blue collar or white collar?
Drawing wisdom from Genesis 1 and 2, they unpack the divine design for work and the sacred purpose found in labor. From Adam naming the animals to tending the Garden of Eden, work reflects God’s nature and invites us to worship through our stewardship.
In this episode, you’ll hear how dominion, fruitfulness, and stewardship shape our understanding of vocation and how work—whether of the hands or the mind—is a profound way to image God. Whether you’re navigating the challenges of a blue-collar job or thriving in a white-collar role, this conversation will inspire you to find purpose and meaning in your daily labor.
Join us for this rich dialogue as we redefine work as a divine calling, an act of worship, and a way to glorify the Creator.
