Imaging God in Our Work: Blue Collar, White Collar, and Beyond

Williams Baptist University

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.
