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.

Calling in the Cubicle: Luke Colley on Seeing All Work as Worship
In part two of our conversation with Luke Colley, we trace his journey from youth ministry to nearly two decades in banking and then back to Williams Baptist University. Luke wrestles honestly with questions like “Does God ever un-call us?” and shares how he learned to see every workplace—whether a teller line, a boardroom, or a college campus—as a place to follow Christ and serve others.
Hear how faith shaped his leadership, why he built his career on “small loans with big impact,” and how returning to WBU revealed a deeper purpose behind the work we do. If you’ve ever wondered whether your 9-to-5 can be ministry, this episode will give you fresh hope that all good work can be worship.
