Welcome to this week's episode of The Workmatters Podcast! Today, we’re thrilled to be joined by Dr. Tammy Dunahoo, Executive Dean at Portland Seminary of George Fox University, whose decades of leadership experience as a pastor and educator offer deep insight into the intersection of faith and work. Hosts Brandon Swoboda and Darrel Harvey sit down with Tammy to explore how our everyday work, whether in a corporate boardroom, behind a coffee counter, or landscaping in the heat, is profoundly sacred and an essential piece of God’s renewal in the world.
Tammy shares how her passion for spiritual formation shapes her vision for both church leaders and everyday professionals, breaking down the false divide between sacred and secular work. She discusses why growing as a person of faith in your workplace is not just possible, but crucial for living out the Gospel’s “fullness." Additionally, Tammy dives into thought-provoking topics like co-vocational ministry, leadership as salt and light, and the powerful impact we can make on organizations and cultures.
Whether you’re leading a team, fixing broken systems, or simply showing up to do your job each day, this conversation is all about seeing the sacredness in your work and the opportunity to participate in God’s ongoing story of renewal. Tune in for an inspiring, practical episode that will help you rediscover the purpose woven into your work, wherever you find yourself Monday morning!
