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.

Working Together: The Value of Relationships in Our Labor
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Life Work, hosts Dr. Stan Norman and Dr. Rhyne Putman dive into the profound connection between faith, vocation, and relationships. They discuss how work is not just a solitary endeavor but a relational expression rooted in our design as image-bearers of God. Drawing from Genesis 2 and the relational nature of the Trinity, they explore why working in community enhances productivity, fosters deeper connections, and reflects God’s intention for humanity.
The conversation also touches on the challenges of remote work, the dynamics of family life in shaping work ethics, and how Jesus’ invitation to “take His yoke” reveals the beauty of relational labor. Whether you’re navigating tensions in your workplace, balancing family and career, or seeking purpose in your work, this episode offers encouragement and practical insights to help you thrive.
