EP2: Does Faith Change Work?

Why does the Sunday-to-Monday gap matter, and how did two guys end up obsessed with it? Josh and Eric share the journeys behind the podcast.

What got two guys who think way too much about faith and work to actually start a podcast about it? In Episode 2, Josh and Eric pull back the curtain on their own journeys — how they got here, why they care, and what they're still figuring out.

Josh shares how his path through pastoral ministry, a "gas station sabbatical," and landing in educational technology at Lancaster Bible College shaped the way he sees his work as an act of creation — "bringing order out of the chaos." Eric traces his own journey from Dorothy Sayers and Tim Challies to Matt Perman, and how stepping into leadership made faith and work integration feel urgent and personal. Together, they dig into the Sunday-to-Monday gap, what it really means to work as image bearers, and why "doing the right things" is only half the equation — the how matters just as much as the what.
