What does it look like to live out your faith in a professional environment without being awkward, forced, or performative?

Commercial banker and community leader Jess Gehman joins Josh and Eric to discuss how faith shapes the way she builds relationships, serves clients, navigates difficult conversations, and approaches her work in banking. Jess shares how the example of faithful coworkers influenced her, why our everyday jobs can be part of our calling, and how churches and Christian communities can better prepare people to connect Sunday worship with Monday work.

Along the way, the conversation explores purpose, stewardship, community, small-business banking—and why sharing your faith might be a little like sharing a really good cake.

Whether you work in banking, education, business, ministry, or somewhere else entirely, this conversation is an encouragement to see your work as more than just a job.
