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.

Laquietta Stewart: Calling, Counseling, and Coming Home to Williams pt. 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this second conversation with Laquietta Stewart, Dean of Students at Williams Baptist University, host Dr. Stan Norman explores how God used nearly three decades in public education, school counseling, and coaching to prepare her for her current role at Williams.
Laquietta reflects on discovering her calling as a high school counselor, walking with students through grief and big decisions, and learning to lead with both truth and grace. She shares how marriage to her husband Matt, renewed involvement in the local church, and years of mentoring students and fellow counselors eventually converged into a clear sense of God’s leading to “come home” to Williams as Dean of Students.
Together, Dr. Norman and Laquietta talk about redemptive discipline, forming student leaders, and their shared prayer for spiritual revival on campus—asking God to deepen prayer, purpose, and Christian community in the life and work of Williams.
