Work + Worship is the podcast for Christian Entrepreneurs to explore how their faith impacts their work and lives. We believe that our work matters - both in our businesses and in our homes - and that how we work as Christians should look different than the rest of the world. We believe that EVERYTHING we do can and should be an act of worship unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23), and that by doing excellent work, we can honor and glorify God in all we do.Join us each week as we navigate how to steward our lives and work well, how to step into who God is calling us to be at home and in our business, and how to do it all without sacrificing what matters most.
