EP6: Faith and Work: Creating Culture That Sticks

Faith and work were never meant to occupy separate compartments. Chris McNamara, Director of People & Culture at Lancaster Bible College, shares what her career path taught her about shaping workplace culture through Christ.

What does it actually look like to live out your faith at work — not just "be nice" or drop a Bible verse at the water cooler, but genuinely shape the culture around you?

In this episode, Josh and Eric sit down with Chris McNamara, Director of People & Culture at Lancaster Bible College. Chris's path to HR wound through an ice cream parlor, real estate, motherhood, ministry, and nonprofit leadership — and along the way she learned that faith and work were never meant to be two separate compartments.

Whether you're in HR or just trying to reflect Christ in the next meeting, email, or spreadsheet you open, this conversation is a practical, encouraging reminder that your ordinary labor is extraordinary participation in God's redemptive work.
