Faithful Career Moves is a place where we talk to people who have seen the hand of God in their lives, and particularly in their careers.As someone who worked solo for many years, I can tell you with 100% conviction that the day I started partnering with Jesus Christ in all things is the day that the details of my career also started to fall into place and the ups and downs started to feel purposeful. I felt peace in the disappointments and more blessed in the triumphs. I stopped worrying so much about the "what ifs" and started recognizing the hand of God in the day-to-day. Knowing the source of my success made all the difference and gave me the comfort and encouragement I needed to venture even further.This podcast offers a combination of career and spiritual guidance because I can no longer separate the two.
