Have you ever sat quietly at a table because you were afraid to speak up?

Maybe you worried you would say the wrong thing. Maybe you felt overlooked, intimidated, or unsure if your voice really mattered. For many of us, learning how to speak up isn't about becoming louder or more aggressive. It's about learning to walk in confidence without shame.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to find your voice and step into the space God created for you to occupy.

God didn't create you to shrink back in fear or sit silently believing your thoughts don't matter. He created you with intention, purpose, wisdom, and a voice worth using.

Whether you're navigating leadership, motherhood, business, ministry, relationships, or simply trying to build confidence in everyday conversations, this episode will encourage you to stop hiding and start showing up boldly and authentically.

We'll discuss:

If you've ever struggled with confidence, communication, people-pleasing, or feeling unseen, this conversation is for you.

You were never created to disappear in the background. You were created on purpose, for a purpose.

In this heartfelt and deeply transformative conversation, Carole Evans sits down with Kimberly Hawkins to explore what it truly means to find rest, not in circumstances, but in the presence of the Shepherd.

Kimberly shares her journey from a fast-paced, achievement-driven life to a season of complete surrender marked by anxiety, health challenges, and an unexpected calling to step away from work and write a book on rest. What began as a breaking point became a sacred invitation: to stop striving, to release control, and to learn how to hear the voice of God.

Through honest storytelling, Kimberly reveals how God used the valley, not to harm her, but to restore her. She opens up about identity struggles, marriage tension during seasons of transformation, and the painful yet beautiful process of being emptied so she could be filled with Christ.

Together, Carole and Kimberly unpack what it looks like to stop “shepherding ourselves” and instead follow the voice of the One who leads us beside still waters. This episode is an invitation to anyone who feels exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck in striving: there is a better way and it begins with hearing His voice.

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Brianna Gray, co-host of the Echo's of Impact Podcast and life coach, to talk about moving from hustle culture to being truly rooted in Christ. We share personal stories, laughs, and lessons, it was the kind of conversation that feels like chatting over coffee with a friend.

Briana opens up about the pressures of chasing productivity, impact, and success  and what changed when God invited her into something deeper: identity, surrender, and being firmly established in Him first. This episode reminds us that faith, work, and home are meant to be integrated, not separated, and that when we are rooted in Christ, our work and relationships flow from peace, not pressure.

Have you ever walked through a season that should feel like a victory… but instead you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or even discouraged?

In this episode of the Faith and Work Podcast, we take a deep dive into the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 16–19, a powerful biblical example of what it looks like to experience both spiritual victory and emotional burnout.

Elijah saw God move in miraculous ways calling down fire from heaven, defeating false prophets, and witnessing undeniable power. But just moments later, he ran in fear, felt alone, and even asked God to take his life.

If you’ve ever:

This episode is for you.

We’ll walk through the context of Elijah’s story and unpack three powerful truths you can apply to your everyday life and leadership:

Sometimes… He speaks in a whisper.

What does it really look like to raise, teach, and lead the next generation with faith in today’s world?

In this episode of the Faith and Work Podcast, I sit down with educator and administrator Chris Pearson to talk about the intersection of faith, parenting, and education and how we can intentionally shape the hearts and lives of the next generation.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, leader, or mentor, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to move beyond rules and performance and step into relationship-driven leadership rooted in the gospel.

Chris shares his journey from youth ministry to education, what he’s learned in the classroom, and how God has shaped his perspective on leadership, parenting, and discipleship over the years.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or unsure if you’re “doing it right,” this episode will remind you that God is with you in the process and that parenting is about cultivating hearts, not just correcting behavior.

If you feel unseen, exhausted, or spiritually drained, be encouraged your work matters more than you can see, and your impact goes far beyond the classroom.

What does it really mean to start over, in a new country, a new language, and a completely different work culture?

In this episode of Faith & Work, I sit down with my dear friend Mia Godfrey, who shares her powerful journey from Romania to America and the quiet strength it took to rebuild her life from the ground up.

Mia opens up about growing up in Romania, where community, family, and dignity in work were deeply woven into everyday life and how different that felt when she arrived in the United States. From navigating language barriers to facing cultural misunderstandings that often felt dismissive or disrespectful, Mia shares honestly about the challenges of adapting to American work culture.

Throughout it all, faith became her anchor. We talk about how trusting God in unfamiliar spaces gave her the courage to keep showing up, how vulnerability creates real connection, and why welcoming others especially those who feel unseen can change the course of someone’s life.

Mia’s story is one of resilience, grace, and hope, beautifully captured in her book Buried Not Broken. This conversation is a reminder that our differences are not weaknesses and that faith, when lived out, can bridge cultures, workplaces, and hearts.

✨ If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, struggled to find your place, or wondered how faith shows up in hard seasons this episode is for you.
