The Work As Worship Podcast | For Christian Women Pursuing Their Calling
Rachel Tenney
54 episodes
1 week ago
This is the podcast for Christian women who want their Monday work to actually matter on Sunday — and vice versa.
Whether you're raising babies, building a brand, wrangling spreadsheets, or just trying to figure out what you're even called to do... this show is for you.
Each week, we talk about how to align your calling, work, and faith in a way that feels real — not cheesy, not vague, and without manifestation or the prosperity gospel. Just honest conversations, practical encouragement, and deep dives into how your everyday work really can be worship.
If you've ever felt stuck, burnt out, or like your work is too “small” to count for the Kingdom, this podcast will remind you: God sees it. It matters. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Most Christians have heard the word inheritance in church, but few have stopped to ask what it really means. Is it just another way of saying “salvation”? Or is there more? In this episode, join Rachel as she traces the theme of inheritance across the whole story of Scripture—from Adam’s squandered dominion to Abraham’s promise, from Israel’s land to David’s throne, and finally to Jesus, the Faithful Heir who secures it all.You’ll discover why our inheritance is bigger than we think: it’s not only eternal life! This doctrine is not abstract—it transforms how we see our daily work, our stewardship, and even the mundane routines of ordinary life.Join Rachel as she unpacks this overlooked biblical theme and shows why your inheritance in Christ should give you unshakable hope and courage today.
Struggling to clearly communicate what you do and who you help? In this episode of The Work as Worship Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Dave Jones—founder of M is Good, one of the longest-running Christian marketing agencies in the world. With over 20 years of experience, Dave has helped 1,200+ faith-based organizations clarify their message, build effective marketing strategies, and lead with biblical integrity.Dave generously offered to walk me through my own messaging live on the podcast—and it was transformational. If you're a Christian entrepreneur, business owner, or ministry leader trying to articulate your God-given mission in a way that actually connects with people, this episode is for you!
Feel like you’re drowning in dishes, laundry, and tasks that never end? This quick pep talk is your reminder that the mundane matters. You’re not just cleaning—you’re pushing back the curse, one small act of worship at a time.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dana Roefer of Faith Driven Entrepreneur Teens for a conversation that’s just SO FUN. We dive into what it really looks like to raise kids who don’t just follow the rules—but build, create, and lead with kingdom purpose.You’ll hear some adorable (and impressive!) stories of how Dana’s kids have launched mini ventures of their own, plus real talk about how to:* Build a home culture that celebrates creativity and ownership* Encourage entrepreneurial thinking without hustle culture or pressure* See your kids the way that God does (this part made me cry)If you’ve ever wondered how to pass down a biblical excitement about work, purpose, and calling to the next generation… this episode will light a fire in you!
You don’t have to choose between being a godly wife and a woman with a calling. In this episode, we unpack 3 common lies Christian women are told about work, womanhood, and calling—and what Scripture actually says instead. If you’ve ever felt torn between church expectations and your God-given drive, this conversation will bring clarity and freedom!⭐️LINKS FROM THIS SHOW⭐️♡ Sign up for my book waitlist https://the-voca-society.myflodesk.com/nvaeiwg0e2 (https://the-voca-society.myflodesk.com/nvaeiwg0e2)♡ Access my FREE Guide to the TOP Resources for Christian Entrepreneurs!
Inheritance sounds easy—until you realize you have to fight for it.In this episode, we explore the tension between the promise of God and the fear that often keeps us from walking in it. Drawing from Numbers 13–14, we look at the difference between the ten fearful spies and the bold faith of Caleb and Joshua—not because they were brave, but because they trusted the One who promised.If you’ve ever stalled in your calling out of fear, overcompensated with strategy, or wrestled with the pressure to be impressive, this episode is for you. You’ll learn why obedience often feels costly, why emotional courage matters in your work, and why your strength doesn’t come from self-confidence—but from Christ in you. This isn’t a pep talk. It’s a gospel anchor for when the giants look bigger than the promise.⭐️LINKS FROM THIS SHOW⭐️♡ Access my FREE Guide to the TOP Resources for Christian Entrepreneurs!
Feel like you're getting crickets when you post? It's not because your content is bad — and it’s definitely not because you're forgettable. It's because you're hiding.In this episode, I’ll share why blending in is the fastest way to get overlooked, how embracing your God-given personality is actually your best branding strategy, and what it practically looks like to infuse your God-given uniqueness into your content, offers, and marketing.We’ll also talk about the spiritual side of branding — how knowing your identity in Christ gives you the boldness to show up online without fear or comparison. If you're ready to create a brand that your audience actually remembers, hit play!
In this short update, I’m sharing why the podcast has a new name — The Work As Worship Podcast — and how we’re opening the doors wider to support Christian women in all kinds of work, not just entrepreneurs. I can’t wait for you to step into this new season with me!
In this episode of The Voca Podcast, I’m joined by a Christ-Centered Somatic Practitioner, Lacey Jervis, for a conversation about the body—and why it matters in the life of a kingdom-driven woman.We talk about how so many of us have learned to ignore or override our physiological experiences in the name of productivity, hustle, or even spiritual maturity. But God designed our nervous systems on purpose! When we learn to honor how He made us—body, mind, and soul—we begin to experience a pace of peace, presence, and purpose that aligns with His intentions for our lives and businesses.If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode, burned out, or unsure how to slow down without losing momentum, this episode is for you. ⭐️LINKS FROM THIS SHOW⭐️Find Lacey:https://www.instagram.com/laceyjervis/♡ Access my FREE Guide to the TOP Resources for Christian Entrepreneurs!
Every day, whether we realize it or not, we’re building something with our lives and businesses. But what are we building, and who are we building for? In this episode, we dive into Augustine’s City of God vs. City of Man framework and how it applies to Christian entrepreneurs. Are you working from self-reliance, striving, and fear—or from faith, trust, and worship? Jesus offers us a way to work that isn’t exhausting but eternal. Let’s talk about how to build the right way, on the right foundation.⭐️LINKS FROM THIS SHOW⭐️♡ Access my FREE Guide to the TOP Resources for Christian Entrepreneurs! https://bit.ly/resourceguidevoca (https://bit.ly/resourceguidevoca)♡ Submit a Podcast Topic https://www.vocasociety.com/topic (https://www.vocasociety.com/topic)♡ JOIN THE VOCA SOCIETY MEMBERSHIP: https://www.vocasociety.com/join (https://www.vocasociety.com/join)♡ SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@thevocasociety (https://www.youtube.com/@thevocasociety)♡ FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM: @thevocasociety - https://www.instagram.com/thevocasociety/ (https://www.instagram.com/thevocasociety/)♡ WEBSITE: vocasociety.com (http://vocasociety.com/)♡ SIGN UP FOR MY KINGDOM & COMMERCE WEEKLY EMAILShttps://bit.ly/kingdomandcommerce (https://bit.ly/kingdomandcommerce)
What if failure wasn’t something to fear—but an *essential* part of success? In this episode, I sit down with Erick Vargas, serial entrepreneur and creator of Sabbath Space, to talk about the freedom Christian entrepreneurs have when their identity isn’t tied to success or failure. Erick shares his own journey of three successful tech start ups, the lessons he learned, and why (and how!) Christians can take back control over their devices.If you’ve ever struggled with fear of failure, wondered why your venture isn't taking off, or wondered how to practically integrate faith into your work, this conversation will encourage and challenge you.Hit play and let’s dive in!⭐️LINKS FROM THIS SHOW⭐️Get Your Own Sabbath Space Device and get FREE shipping with coupon "Freeshipping2025" Order at this link to support the podcast! ➡️ https://sabbathspace.io?sca_ref=8203343.SUoUOCKFTND (https://sabbathspace.io?sca_ref=8203343.SUoUOCKFTND)Follow Erick on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sabbathspace/ (https://www.instagram.com/sabbathspace/)♡ Access my FREE Guide to the TOP Resources for Christian Entrepreneurs!
In this episode, I sit down with my friend Ashleigh Guynn, a licensed therapist, to explore some of the common phrases Christians use when talking about emotions—phrases like ‘your feelings are lying to you’ or ‘God is in control, so you shouldn’t feel afraid.’While these sayings sound spiritual, they can sometimes oversimplify complex emotional struggles and prevent true emotional engagement with God. Ashleigh helps us unpack what the Bible really says about emotions, how to replace half-truth clichés with God’s truth, and why emotions are part of our God-designed human experience. If you’ve ever wrestled with your feelings as a believer, this conversation will encourage and equip you!Learn more about Ashleigh on her website! https://www.cultivatehopecounseling.com/Submit a Podcast Topichttps://www.vocasociety.com/topic♡ JOIN THE MEMBERSHIP: https://www.vocasociety.com/join (https://www.vocasociety.com/join)♡ SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@thevocasociety (https://www.youtube.com/@thevocasociety)♡ FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM: @thevocasociety - https://www.instagram.com/thevocasociety/♡ WEBSITE: vocasociety.com (http://vocasociety.com/)♡ SIGN UP FOR MY KINGDOM & COMMERCE WEEKLY EMAILShttps://bit.ly/kingdomandcommerce (https://bit.ly/kingdomandcommerce)
What if the way you think could be rewired—not through self-help trends like manifesting, but through the tools God has already given us? In this episode, I sit down with my friend Alexa Steckbeck to explore the fascinating topic of neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to rewire itself—and how it relates to biblical truth, productivity, and entrepreneurship. Together, we unpack how theology plays a key role in reshaping our thoughts, and why God’s design for our brains is so amazing!
