What if your “ordinary” job isn’t ordinary at all? What if God is using your faithfulness in unseen and uncelebrated work to prepare you for something far greater, maybe even for eternity?
In this episode, I’m joined by Kaleigh Cox, co-author of Five Mere Christians and VP of Marketing at Jordan Raynor & Company. We talk about overcoming the fear of living an “ordinary life,” finding purpose in the jobs we don’t always love, and how to steward your current work well, even when it doesn’t feel like your dream job.
We discuss:
Why God cares about your work
How to steward your current job well (even if it’s hard)
Kaleigh’s journey from fearing an ordinary life to embracing it with purpose
The impact of faithfulness in small things
Practical advice for creatives and career pivoters longing for meaning
If you feel stuck in a job that doesn’t feel meaningful, this is for you.
Cheering you on,
Kelsey Kemp & Audrey Bagarus
