156: The Sacredness of Secular Work - why ALL of your work matters for eternity with Jordan Raynor

156: The Sacredness of Secular Work - why ALL of your work matters for eternity with Jordan Raynor

Does your work actually matter for eternity? Sadly, most believers don’t think so.


That’s why I sat down with my all-time favorite nonfiction author and HERO in the faith and work space, Jordan Raynor, to discuss his latest (and maybe greatest) book, The Sacredness of Secular Work: 4 Ways Your Job Matters for Eternity (Even When You're Not Sharing the Gospel).


And in honor of the book’s release today, I finally get to share it with you.


I can hardly believe how much wisdom he packed into this one conversation, sharing:

  1. Some of the biggest lies and twisted truths perpetuated by the western evangelical church about work
  2. Why treating the Great Commission as the only commission ironically makes us much less effective at spreading the good news
  3. The key to seeing how 100% of your time at work matters to God
  4. Why abridging the gospel down to “the good news that Jesus came to save people from their sins” is to inadvertently accuse Jesus of being “loser instead of Lord”, and what the true message is instead
  5. The truth behind half-truths like “earth is our temporary home” and “we will worship for eternity” (this was huge for me) 
  6. A summary of God’s plan for work from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22


And toward the end, I couldn’t help but ask, how is this book different than Every Good Endeavor - the book by Tim Keller that greatly influenced both my work and Jordan’s. You have to hear his answer. There is SO much life-altering information in The Sacredness of Secular Work that I can almost guarantee you haven’t heard.


Enjoy every minute of this interview with my hero, Jordan Raynor.


Cheering you on,

Kelsey Kemp

131: Kayla Lyons - How to create a big, authentic, faith-filled career (even if you feel unqualified)

Kayla remembers that day she was told, "You lack the qualifications for a career in journalism, therefore I cannot help or endorse you in the pursuit of media internships." by the dean of the journalism department at her university. Boy did she swiftly prove him wrong!

Kayla quickly paved her own way, cold calling news stations, until she landed internships that turned into a full time offer for a journalist position, that was immediately promoted into an offer to be an anchor after her boss saw her talent displayed through Kayla's YouTube channel.

She has gone on to become the recipient of the National Broadcasting+Cable’s Best Digital Multiplatform award, and was recognized by the Texas African American Museum as a Notable Woman of 2020. Kayla is also the FIRST full time African American Digital News Anchor in the United States.

Her drive to elevate her community led her to start her own digital marketing company where she currently serves as a Social Media Content Strategist, helping small to medium businesses optimize their digital footprint. Kayla's life goal is to walk out what it means to live an authentic, faith-filled life, and inspire others to do the same.

She graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a Bachelors of Business Administration in Marketing and Full Sail University with a Masters in Entertainment Business Management.

130: Where I’ve been…(story time feat. crazy miracles)
Jun 07, 202201:41:24
129: Juliarose Childs - Advocating for yourself as a neuro-divergent professional + using negotiation to create your own career

129: Juliarose Childs - Advocating for yourself as a neuro-divergent professional + using negotiation to create your own career

No matter who you are or what kind of career you're aiming for, negotiation is a life-changing tool that will help you advocate your way into a career that aligns with how you work best...ESPECIALLY if you're a professional with ADHD, Dyslexia, or other neuro-divergent conditions.


Today I get the honor of introducing you to Juliarose Childs. She is the founder of Fe Negotiation, a company she created to equip womxn to advocate for themselves through negotiation preparation, practice, and personal coaching, offering a tangible way for every womxn to be involved in the fight for equal pay. Not only that, she also serves alongside another entrepreneur as the Integrator of the growth team at a legal tech startup, Skribe.ai.


While I couldn’t be more impressed with Juliarose’s gumption and creativity in the startup space, what I treasure even more about her is her generosity and openness in the way she shares about her journey with advocating for herself, as a professional learning to thrive with Dyslexia and ADHD.


Y’all should have seen the questions I came into this interview prepared to ask - I was fully ready to just talk about how to negotiate your compensation, but instead, we got an even richer conversation about how to advocate and negotiate EVERY part of your career, not just compensation, but even the roles itself, so you can thrive no matter what your circumstance is - even if you’re learning how to excel in systems that weren’t originally designed for neuro-divergent professionals like me and Juliarose.


It turns out we were both homeschooled after getting diagnosed with neuro-divergent conditions in our early years (me with ADD), leading to similar realizations about the school system and traditional corporate life not being environments that were made for us. In the process of figuring out a way to thrive, we both used an entrepreneurial spirit to figure out ways to make up our own careers by focusing on what we valued most. In it all, you’ll hear Juliarose share how you can advocate for yourself, no matter how you’re made and what you’re aiming for.


As you enjoy this conversation, remember that the best way to support the show is to text it to a friend and leave a review to let us know how this impacted you.


Enjoy!

127: My friend, Laura Allen, and I share our testimonies (and how God called us to both quit our tech jobs and start podcasts 😅)

127: My friend, Laura Allen, and I share our testimonies (and how God called us to both quit our tech jobs and start podcasts 😅)

Teehee I have been WAITING to introduce y’all to my dear friend Laura Allen (lovingly called LA) who is the host of the Almost Somebody podcast.

Anytime we get together, we end up having a hot lava fire conversation about faith, living an adventurous life with God by being tuned into your specific purpose - and today was no exception! As per usual (as you can also hear in the interview we did together for her podcast), we ditch my traditional list of questions and go right into the heart of Laura’s testimony, in which God called her to leave a lucrative position in tech sales and go down more of a non-traditional route with a big vision in mind.

It’s crazy how much we can both relate in how God called us to faith, and to quit our tech jobs to start podcasts!

Further straying from convention, you’ll actually hear me join her in sharing some of the more personal pieces of my testimony in how God drew me into the decision to get re-baptized and fully commit my life to him as an adult in 2019.

Enjoy!

1. Time management and productivity tips that helped him grow a thriving business (→ pssst....he worked full time in both teaching and real estate while he and his wife Kristen were growing their family of 2 into a family of 5...so he knows a thing or two about how we can make the most of our time!)


2. How to set healthy boundaries and expectations with clients and teammates so you can sustain a healthy work-life balance in a career that traditionally requires 24/7 client communications and support

124: Jacob Martin - How Crypto, NFTs, and Web3 will shape the future of life and work

Ok this week’s episode with NFT lawyer and investor, Jacob Martin, is downright epic.

No matter if you’re already invested in cryptocurrencies and NFTs or you have no idea what these technologies are, this conversation is for you.


In it, Jacob not only gives an introductory overview of these technologies and their potential uses, but we also explore three significant questions:

  1. Should these technologies matter to us, particularly as Christian professionals who want to have a redemptive influence in the marketplace?
  2. Why?
  3. What should we do about it?


Some other nuggets to the conversation you’ll hear are:

  1. With the future of crypto, artificial intelligence, and web3 and their goal to take out middlemen, should professionals like bankers, lawyers, accountants, and landlords start up-skilling in preparation of being replaced?
  2. How automations can be seen as an opportunity to return to God’s original vision and purpose for work, returning us back to our original callings put forth in Genesis chapter 1. Stick around to the end of our conversation for that one.


Alright. Enjoy!

120: How my client Ava pivoted from Structural Engineering to UX Research WITHOUT applying, going back to school, or taking a pay cut

120: How my client Ava pivoted from Structural Engineering to UX Research WITHOUT applying, going back to school, or taking a pay cut

Yep. Crazy right!? She even got a pretty exciting salary boost! (exact numbers shared at the end)


In this episode, you'll hear Ava share more about her coaching experience with me and how she:

  1. Decided it was time to leave 7 years of study and work as a Structural Engineer to pursue something totally new
  2. Carefully parsed through a huge number of job ideas, from Fire Fighting to Landscape Architecture, until she confidently realized UX Research was the perfect job for her
  3. Used my 5 step informational interview process as the secret sauce to A) clarify what she felt called to, B) find hidden job opportunities that aren't on LinkedIn, and C) gain a huge amount of leverage to land and negotiate the role and salary
  4. Successfully negotiated her salary, EVEN THOUGH she initially got caught off guard and threw out a low-ball number - she was still able to save it and come back strong!!


You have to hear this. Ava's story will encourage you to remember that:

  1. You're never too late or too pigeon-holed to pivot into something you'll truly love
  2. You CAN get paid (tremendously well, in many cases) to do tasks that don't feel like a job. In Ava's case, she loves just listening to people and giving them practical answers in return. It turns out UX Research is a profession that allows you to do that all day long!
  3. With the right strategy and support, you by no means have to go back to school or take a pay cut to land a job you feel called to
  4. People are SO kind to offer help and advice! That's why informational interviews, when approached the right way,

118: How client Jaymie Fillebrown landed a job that merged her passions + negotiated a 15% raise

Think "following your calling" will require you to take a pay cut and waste all your past experience? THINK AGAIN! Before working together, Jaymie was burnt out in her software engineering job. Her old sense of being a bright high-achiever had been worn down over the years into a lack of motivation that spurred her to the realization that it was time to make a change.


Her story is one of God showing up in the biggest and seemingly impossible ways in the career story you get to hear today.


In this episode, you’ll hear Jaymie share:


Go send Jaymie some love on LinkedIn after you listen to this episode! I can't wait to see what God does with the rest of her career.

  2. Does physical, material, or “secular” work really matter to God?
  3. Are true "callings" only for the special few while the rest of us have normal, mundane work?
  4. Does God have a specific vocational path he wants for me, or are there a variety that would be pleasing to Him?
  5. Is work really meant to fulfill us? Or should we just find our satisfaction in Christ?
  6. Is it selfish to want purpose and fulfillment? Is it just for my own fame, prosperity, or self worth?
  7. Is work a curse?
  8. What does the bible say about how we should go about “finding our calling”?
  9. How do I really know that I’m called to do something?
  10. Can we miss our callings?
