Faith & Work

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.

I would love to connect with you!

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.

Have you ever taken a trip you’ll never forget… and come home realizing it wasn’t just about the places you went, but what God was teaching you along the way?

In this episode of Faith and Work, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a long-awaited trip to New York City, one filled with history, meaningful moments, and a few unexpected lessons.

From walking nearly 60,000 steps through Manhattan…

This trip was unforgettable.

But what surprised me most?

In the middle of one of the busiest cities in the world… God reminded me how to rest.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, constantly on the go, or like your mind never fully shuts off, this episode is for you.

Have you ever thought, "God, this is a great plan!" But its one that was completely generated my YOU? Me too. I've had so many plans that I thought were, good so they must be holy. But I was completely and totally wrong. 

In this episode, Tim Haynes, a long time family friend, shares his story of how God took a his heart for missions and redefined what that could look like. 

If you've ever wondered if you're following God's voice or maybe the voice of guilt or influence from someone other that God, this episode is from you.

Why do so many of us feel exhausted even when we’re doing good work?

In this solo episode of Faith and Work, Carole Evans explores the biblical rhythm of work and rest and why both are essential to living the life God designed.

Drawing from the creation story in Genesis and practical experiences from everyday life, Carole discusses how busy seasons can easily pull us away from what matters most. She shares why intentionally scheduling rest is not a luxury  it’s a spiritual discipline that helps us stay grounded, present, and aligned with God’s purpose.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by responsibilities, distracted by constant activity, or tempted to measure your worth by what you accomplish, this conversation offers a refreshing reminder: our value isn’t found in productivity, but in our identity in Christ.

This episode will encourage you to slow down, refocus, and rediscover the peace that comes from living with intentional rhythms of work and rest.

Faith at Work & Home

In this episode of Faith and Work, Carole Evans sits down with Mary Elizabeth Naugle for a heartfelt conversation about trusting God in the middle of everyday life. Through the lens of homeschooling five boys, Mary Elizabeth shares what it looks like to live out faith through obedience, surrender, and the often-unseen work of raising a family.

This conversation goes far beyond homeschooling. It’s about noticing God in the ordinary, staying faithful through change, and trusting Him in both the big decisions and the small, daily moments. Mary speaks honestly about seasons of feeling unseen, the quiet joy of faithfulness, and the responsibility and privilege of modeling a life rooted in Christ.

The episode closes with a prayer for parents and caregivers navigating education, calling, and faith, reminding us that no work done with God at the center is ever wasted.

Have you ever felt that quiet nudge from God telling you something needs to end… even when it’s hard to admit?

In this episode of the Faith & Work Podcast, we talk about one of the most difficult leadership decisions we ever face, knowing when to walk away.

Walking away from a job that drains you.

Through personal stories, biblical wisdom, and practical reflection questions, Carole helps you recognize when God may be prompting a change and how to walk away with courage, clarity, and peace.

Because walking away isn’t quitting when God is leading… it’s obedience.

What does it look like to live out your faith when you can’t talk about it?

In this episode, we explore how faith is often revealed not through words, but through the way we show up with our character, our integrity, our work ethic, and the way we love others. When conversations about God aren’t welcomed or allowed, our lives can still preach a powerful message.

Drawing from key passages in the New Testament, we unpack how Jesus modeled a faith that was seen before it was spoken and how we can do the same in our homes, workplaces, and everyday relationships.

If you’ve ever wrestled with how to honor God in environments where faith feels quiet or constrained, this episode will encourage you to remember: your faith is still visible, even when it’s not verbal.
