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 Peach Orchards to Purpose: Luke Colley on Work, Faith, and Calling
Season 2 Episode 5 of the LifeWork Podcast takes listeners back to the roots of Luke Colley—WBU alumnus (’02) and now Vice President for University Advancement & Business Development at Williams.
Luke shares stories of growing up in Fort Worth and Clarksville, AR—learning integrity from a third-shift dad who never stopped working, steadiness from a mother who kept the household thriving, and the lessons of his first jobs in a peach orchard and a small-town grocery store.
This episode invites students, parents, and alumni alike to see how character is formed in the everyday—and how finding your place in God’s mission can begin long before you choose a career.
