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.

From Moody Hollow to Ministry: Dr. Mike Fox on Calling, Work, and God’s Purpose
Season 2 of the Lifework Podcast launches with a fresh new direction. Host Dr. Stan Norman, president of Williams Baptist University, sits down with Dr. Mike Fox—alumnus, pastor, and professor of Christian Ministries—to talk about the surprising path from a cabin in Moody Hollow to the classroom and pulpit.
In this episode, Dr. Fox shares his early work experiences, the mentors who shaped his journey, and how God wastes no life experience. Together, he and Dr. Norman explore what it means to discover calling, endure hardship, and see every job—whether on a farm, a construction site, or a classroom—as a stage for God’s providence.
This is more than a conversation about career. It’s a story of how ordinary work shapes extraordinary purpose.
