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.

When God Calls the Least Likely
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The LifeWork Podcast, Dr. Stan Norman and Dr. Rhyne Putman dive into the story of Gideon from Judges 6, unpacking the transformative power of God’s calling. They discuss the difference between primary calling—a relationship with God—and secondary calling, where God equips us for specific tasks and vocations. Through Gideon’s journey from doubt and insecurity to faith-driven action, they highlight how God meets us in our weakest moments, challenges us to trust Him, and works through our lives in unexpected ways. This conversation offers encouragement and practical wisdom for embracing both faith and purpose in the workplace and beyond
