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.

In this special Christmas-themed series of LifeWork Podcast, they dive into the diverse vocations represented in the Nativity narrative: the blue-collar labor of the shepherds, the intellectual work of the Magi, and the familial devotion of Mary.
Through insightful discussion, Dr. Norman and Dr. Putman reveal how God meets people where they are—whether in fields, royal courts, or homes—and uses their work to draw them closer to Himself. They unpack the profound lessons these characters teach about humility, faith, and vocation, offering encouragement for listeners in every profession.
Whether you’re a shepherd in spirit or a scholar in practice, this series will inspire you to see your work as part of God’s greater story. Tune in to discover how Christmas speaks to the work we do and the hearts we bring to it.
Join hosts Dr. Stan Norman and Dr. Rhyne Putman from Williams Baptist University as they explore how the Christmas story intersects with the world of work.
Merry Christmas from the LifeWork Podcast team!
