What does it really mean to be called—and how do we live that out through the complex demands of modern life?
In this powerful episode, Ann sits down with Joanna Meyer, author of Women, Work & Calling and Director of Public Engagement at the Denver Institute for Faith & Work, to explore what faith-driven leadership looks like when it’s honest, integrated, and shaped by God over time.
Together, they dive into key themes like:
The freedom of knowing your calling is formed, not found
How to cultivate vocational imagination in any season or role
Why relational generosity is one of the most important gifts leaders can give
And how Christian leaders can respond with grace to the real tensions of work, home, aging parents, and an ever-changing workplace
Whether you're stepping into leadership, navigating a transition, or simply wondering what’s next, this episode will give you both theological insight and practical encouragement.
💡 In This Episode, You'll Learn:
How to reframe calling as a lifelong journey, not a one-time decision
Why imagination matters for impact in both big and small ways
How to live generously in your relationships, career, and leadership
Encouragement for women—and men—who want to lead with integrity and faith
