“Would you want what you're doing today to be written about on the cover of the Wall Street Journal?” Much of the messaging we receive in the workplace today is that in order to get ahead, you have to put yourself first. That you have to sacrifice your values for success, even if it means exploiting other people and ignoring the call God has placed on your life. We discuss this and more as Anthony sits down with Dave Blanchard, Co-Founder and CEO of Praxis, an organization founded on the transformational idea of “redemptive entrepreneurship.” Dave tells us how “praxis,” which means “faith in action,” can be the way in which we do our work, and how Christians can see business “through the lens of redemption.” Whether you're religious or not, we believe this episode will provide you with a new perspective on faith and work.

“Failure that follows effort is not failure.” How do you take on adversity and stay positive? How do you run toward a challenge, instead of from it? How do you lay down your pride and gratefully accept correction? In this week’s episode, Anthony hears from Taylor Ducoff, Senior Vice President of Commercial and Industrial Lending at Cadence Bank, about the importance of unlearning counterproductive work habits. Taylor uses his childhood participation in sports to teach us how the workforce benefits from a history of “repetition of correction.” He encourages listeners that “when someone is taking the time to correct you, it's because they care about you.” For those who feel wounded or defensive at correction, Taylor recommends seeking out mentors who can teach humility in the face of adversity. For those trying to unlearn bad work habits and built better character, he also suggests: “Try to be a sponge. A sponge doesn’t just absorb – it filters.” Whether you're religious or not, we believe this episode will provide you with a new perspective on faith and work. Listen now!

“I was spending 100% of my time on 10% of who I was. I had this amazing career, but I didn’t have a good life. I didn’t know, and no one around me knew, that you could have both.” For this week’s episode, Anthony chats with author, speaker, and strategist Sheri Riley on the common misconception among professionals today: that happiness, joy, and peace is external, and in order to have those things, you have to work harder. After a long, exciting career in the entertainment industry, where she worked with some of the biggest artists of her day, Sheri realized her life had no margin, she was "present" without real "presence," and that what she needed most was Christ. When she had Him, she had everything. With her story, Sheri reminds us that “clarity only comes from wisdom and wisdom only comes from the word of God.” Whether you're religious or not, we believe this episode will provide you with a new perspective on faith and work.

"While everyone was talking...I knew in my heart of hearts that God gave me things that could not be measured. You can't measure faith, you can't measure will, you can't measure heart." For Rennie Curran, CEO of Game Changer Coaching, hardship became his leverage to a better future and a stronger faith. In this week’s podcast, Anthony and Rennie discuss how Rennie leveraged the fact he was cut from the NFL, as well as what it looks like to do everything with excellence, even in the valley of your faith. Rennie challenges listeners to ask themselves, “How can I build myself to empower those around me? What things do I need to give my time to, and what does God need to strip away? Where is He leading me?” Whether you're religious or not, we believe this episode will provide you with a new perspective on faith and work. Listen now!

For this week’s episode, Anthony sits down with Heather Broeder, Executive Vice President of People at Refined Technologies. After experiencing many twists and turns in her life and work, Heather shares how she has learned to trust God’s promises by “putting yourself completely in the leap." She also tells of the importance of “failing forward” and “rightsizing your fear.” If you have been discouraged at work or in your job search and are struggling to trust in God, let Anthony and Heather’s conversation encourage you to hold on to hope.

“When you live on purpose, there is no finish line.” Why do we work? What is the ultimate purpose of our work, and how do we live that out? In this episode, Anthony speaks with Josh Kwan, President of The Gathering, a learning community of philanthropists motivated by their Christian faith to give humbly and steward wisely all the resources God has entrusted to their care. Anthony and Josh dive into the reality that despite the fact work is a privilege and something we should enjoy, discipline is also required of us. Josh shares that for Christians, “We live our lives not so that we would be known, but so that Christ would be known.” He also explains how work is easier when it’s “an expression of exercising your curiosity” and the importance of becoming a reliable person surrounded by a community that holds you accountable to generosity. Finally, Josh and Anthony discuss the idea of retirement not as retiring but “refiring.” Whether you're religious or not, we believe this episode will provide you with a new perspective on faith and work.

“It’s not just about making a dollar, but making a difference.” Too many people are trying to keep up with the Joneses and are not accepting of themselves and grateful for what they have. We discuss that fact and more on this week’s podcast as Anthony chats with his good friend, Kem Wilson, a Principal of the private equity firm Kemmons Wilson Companies (KWC). Kem shares what he has learned about the importance of having humility in business, knowing your weaknesses, and making sure you hire people who supplement your weaknesses. For Christian professionals, our work should be about “emulating Jesus in the marketplace” and giving all the glory to God. Whether you're religious or not, we believe this episode will provide you with a new perspective on faith and work. Listen now!

“You’re going to attract the kind of workers your reputation as an employer warrants.” Many view work as something they “have to do,” but at WorkFaith, we believe work is something we “get to do.” For this week’s episode, Anthony speaks with Atlanta realtor Danielle Joyner about her childhood as the daughter of McDonald’s franchise-owners, from whom she was taught “work ethic is a family thing and a good thing.” In a world where work has come to be viewed as an obligation, not a privilege, Danielle’s viewpoint is invigorating and bold. Learn how to create a work environment people want to show up to, address unmotivated employees, and define your work “why.” Whether you're religious or not, we believe this episode will provide you with a new perspective on faith and work.
