What is a theology of real estate? What does it look like for you to view real estate as a calling rather than just a career? In this thought-provoking episode of The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon sits down with Brett Johnson to explore the powerful concept of a “theology of real estate.” Brett challenges listeners to view their work not simply as transactions or commissions, but as a divine assignment with eternal significance.

Together, they dive into the biblical importance of place, the ethical responsibilities of real estate professionals, and how agents can serve as stewards of God’s creation. 

This episode will stretch your thinking and inspire you to ask deeper questions—not just about what you do, but why you do it. Whether you’re a new agent or a seasoned broker, this conversation will help you reframe your role through a kingdom lens and step more fully into your calling.
