What does it actually look like to carry your faith into a secular workplace? In this episode of Chip Lunch, Joel and Tim sit down with Aurelia — a law student, globetrotter, and follower of Jesus.

Aurelia unpacks what it means to bring God into the everyday rhythms of a legal career. From chatting about church with fellow clerks to gently opting out of party culture without being preachy, she shares how normalising faith in the workplace starts with genuine friendship and small, consistent acts of love.

Aurelia takes us on a whirlwind tour of her past year: a two-week summer intensive at Cambridge (with a cheeky sneak into Trinity College), a presentation submitted 15 minutes late after an all-nighter and a bout of food poisoning — that she still delivered the same day — and a solo adventure through Iceland, Paris, Amsterdam, and Rotterdam, where she tracked down her late grandfather's childhood home without using Google Maps.

The highlight of the episode might be the six months Aurelia spent living alone in London, studying transnational law at King's College — a dream she'd quietly held since she was 17 years old. She gets real about the beauty and the loneliness of solo living, the discipline of meal prep, turning 22 without her family, and learning that her dog had passed away mid-birthday drinks.

Aurelia's faith is the through-line. She found a church in London within weeks, took her first communion from a shared cup at a tiny English-speaking congregation in Amsterdam, and kept asking people if she could pray for them, whether she was a clerk in Sydney or a student in the UK.
