Sarah shares her experiences traveling to Israel, including visits before and after the events of October 7, 2023. She offers insight into the realities of life in Israel, the challenges facing believers, and the importance of understanding both the people and the land through a biblical lens.
Together, they discuss how Christians can better understand the Jewish people, how faith is practiced in Israel, and why love, compassion, and relationship matter so deeply when sharing the gospel.

What happens when disappointment with God leads you away from your faith—and ultimately back into His purpose for your life?
In this inspiring episode of the Faith and Work Podcast, Carole sits down with Edith Namutebi, a digital missionary and ministry leader from Uganda, to discuss her journey from religious tradition to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Edith shares how academic setbacks, spiritual doubt, and years of searching for fulfillment eventually led her to discover God's calling on her life.
Today, Edith serves through Life Ministry Uganda (Cru), helping university students and young adults navigate identity, purpose, mental health struggles, and faith. She also shares how digital ministry is creating unprecedented opportunities to reach people online with the hope of the Gospel, including individuals struggling with loneliness, suicidal thoughts, broken relationships, and questions about God's presence in their lives.
Together, Carole and Edith explore what it means to be seen by God, how Christ pursues us even when we run from Him, and why digital missions are becoming one of the most powerful tools for sharing the Gospel in today's world.
If you've ever wondered whether God sees you, hears your prayers, or has a purpose for your life, this conversation offers encouragement, hope, and a reminder that God is still at work, even in the most difficult seasons.

What happens when God calls you into something unexpected?
In this episode of Faith & Work, host Carole Evans continues the Faith Around the World summer series with special guest Marilyn Antonie from the Netherlands. Marilyn is an identity coach who helps people discover who they are, understand their God-given purpose, and walk confidently in their calling.
Marilyn shares her personal journey of faith, obedience, and trusting God through seasons of uncertainty. Together, Carole and Marilyn discuss how understanding your identity in Christ impacts every area of life, from your career and leadership to your relationships and daily decisions.

In this powerful episode of Faith and Work, Carole sits down with Christian Idoga, an educator, leader, and mentor based in Nigeria, whose life and work are deeply rooted in his faith in Jesus Christ.
Christian shares how his passion for education and discipleship is driven by a simple but profound belief: many of the struggles we face in life are not just about circumstances, but about understanding. Through his work in education and his “Business from a Biblical Perspective” teaching, he is committed to helping others grow in both knowledge and faith so they can walk in purpose and freedom.
Together, Carole and Christian explore what it truly looks like to integrate faith into every area of life...from business and leadership to family and personal growth. Christian challenges the idea that faith and work should be separate, instead emphasizing that our identity in Christ should shape how we think, lead, and build.
He also shares deeply personal parts of his journey, how his relationship with God developed over time, how Scripture became his foundation for understanding life and success, and even a life-threatening moment that revealed the power and protection of God in a very real way.
One of the most powerful themes of this conversation is the idea of access, that the greatest miracle is not just what God can do for us, but the relationship we have with Him through Jesus. When we shift our focus from chasing results to seeking Christ, everything about how we live and work begins to change.
This episode is a meaningful reminder that:
Our greatest need is not more success, but deeper understandingOur work is an extension of who we are in ChristAnd the most valuable thing we have isn’t what we achieve, but the access we’ve been given to GodWhether you’re navigating your career, leading others, building something new, or simply trying to grow in your faith, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about purpose, identity, and what it means to truly live out your faith in your work.

Have you ever sat quietly at a table because you were afraid to speak up?
Maybe you worried you would say the wrong thing. Maybe you felt overlooked, intimidated, or unsure if your voice really mattered. For many of us, learning how to speak up isn't about becoming louder or more aggressive. It's about learning to walk in confidence without shame.
In this episode, we talk about what it means to find your voice and step into the space God created for you to occupy.
God didn't create you to shrink back in fear or sit silently believing your thoughts don't matter. He created you with intention, purpose, wisdom, and a voice worth using.
Whether you're navigating leadership, motherhood, business, ministry, relationships, or simply trying to build confidence in everyday conversations, this episode will encourage you to stop hiding and start showing up boldly and authentically.
We'll discuss:
Learning how to speak up with confidenceWhy boldness doesn't have to be loud or pushyOvercoming fear, shame, and self-doubtUsing your voice in leadership and everyday lifeHow faith shapes confidence and communicationWhy God calls us to courage, not perfectionFinding your seat at the table without apologizing for your presenceIf you've ever struggled with confidence, communication, people-pleasing, or feeling unseen, this conversation is for you.
You were never created to disappear in the background. You were created on purpose, for a purpose.
Scripture referenced:"Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

In this heartfelt and deeply transformative conversation, Carole Evans sits down with Kimberly Hawkins to explore what it truly means to find rest, not in circumstances, but in the presence of the Shepherd.
Kimberly shares her journey from a fast-paced, achievement-driven life to a season of complete surrender marked by anxiety, health challenges, and an unexpected calling to step away from work and write a book on rest. What began as a breaking point became a sacred invitation: to stop striving, to release control, and to learn how to hear the voice of God.
Through honest storytelling, Kimberly reveals how God used the valley, not to harm her, but to restore her. She opens up about identity struggles, marriage tension during seasons of transformation, and the painful yet beautiful process of being emptied so she could be filled with Christ.
Together, Carole and Kimberly unpack what it looks like to stop “shepherding ourselves” and instead follow the voice of the One who leads us beside still waters. This episode is an invitation to anyone who feels exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck in striving: there is a better way and it begins with hearing His voice.

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Brianna Gray, co-host of the Echo's of Impact Podcast and life coach, to talk about moving from hustle culture to being truly rooted in Christ. We share personal stories, laughs, and lessons, it was the kind of conversation that feels like chatting over coffee with a friend.
Briana opens up about the pressures of chasing productivity, impact, and success and what changed when God invited her into something deeper: identity, surrender, and being firmly established in Him first. This episode reminds us that faith, work, and home are meant to be integrated, not separated, and that when we are rooted in Christ, our work and relationships flow from peace, not pressure.

What does it really mean to start over, in a new country, a new language, and a completely different work culture?
In this episode of Faith & Work, I sit down with my dear friend Mia Godfrey, who shares her powerful journey from Romania to America and the quiet strength it took to rebuild her life from the ground up.
Mia opens up about growing up in Romania, where community, family, and dignity in work were deeply woven into everyday life and how different that felt when she arrived in the United States. From navigating language barriers to facing cultural misunderstandings that often felt dismissive or disrespectful, Mia shares honestly about the challenges of adapting to American work culture.
Throughout it all, faith became her anchor. We talk about how trusting God in unfamiliar spaces gave her the courage to keep showing up, how vulnerability creates real connection, and why welcoming others especially those who feel unseen can change the course of someone’s life.
Mia’s story is one of resilience, grace, and hope, beautifully captured in her book Buried Not Broken. This conversation is a reminder that our differences are not weaknesses and that faith, when lived out, can bridge cultures, workplaces, and hearts.
✨ If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, struggled to find your place, or wondered how faith shows up in hard seasons this episode is for you.

What does it look like to live out your faith when you can’t talk about it?
In this episode, we explore how faith is often revealed not through words, but through the way we show up with our character, our integrity, our work ethic, and the way we love others. When conversations about God aren’t welcomed or allowed, our lives can still preach a powerful message.
Drawing from key passages in the New Testament, we unpack how Jesus modeled a faith that was seen before it was spoken and how we can do the same in our homes, workplaces, and everyday relationships.
If you’ve ever wrestled with how to honor God in environments where faith feels quiet or constrained, this episode will encourage you to remember: your faith is still visible, even when it’s not verbal.
