🧠 Episode Summary:

Ever feel like you’re stuck between wanting to share your faith and not wanting to get called into HR? In this episode, James and Jorge tackle the tricky, hilarious, and heartfelt journey of being a light in the workplace (or school!) without being that weird Christian. You know, the one with the giant Bible and zero social skills. šŸ˜…

From door-to-door vacuum fails and copper-wire misadventures to real talk about leadership, relationships, and Jesus’ own example, this one hits home in all the best ways.

✨ In This Episode:

  • šŸ§‘ā€šŸ³ Why sharing Jesus as a donut fryer is way easier than as a store manager.

  • šŸ§”šŸ½ Beards, boundaries, and being a bold believer in Oklahoma.

  • šŸ› ļø ā€œYou don’t get paid to evangelizeā€ā€”but what do you get paid to do?

  • 🧼 Living the gospel without shouting it from the cubicle.

  • šŸ Why Jesus told us to be ā€œwise as serpents, harmless as dovesā€ā€”and yes, there’s a zoo snake story!

    • šŸ–¼ļø How one long-haired apostolic girl turned a skeptical classmate into a churchgoer (true story!).

    🧠 Takeaways:

    • Do excellent work. Your testimony starts with integrity and excellence.
    • Engage your environment. Be friendly. Be present. Be in the world but not of it.
    • Be wise and gentle. Use discernment—don’t strike like a snake, glide like a dove.

    šŸ’¬ Quotables:

    • ā€œYou don’t get paid to evangelize. You get paid to give effort.ā€

    • ā€œSeparation isn’t isolation.ā€

    • ā€œPeople can argue scripture, but they can’t argue your experience.ā€

    • ā€œIs it me?" If you find yourself struggling, ask yourself this.


    🧰 Toolbox Scriptures:

    • Colossians 3:23 — Do it heartily, as to the Lord.

    • Ecclesiastes 9:10 — Do it with your might.

    • Proverbs 10:4 — The hand of the diligent.

    • Matthew 10:16 — Wise as serpents, harmless as doves.
