A podcast exploring vocation and calling.
Working Theology, hosted by Brandon Giella and Parker Smith, is a podcast that explores the intersection of faith and work. They delve into the theological principles that inform our daily lives and examine the roles these principles play in diverse vocations. While considering the influence of technology, the focus remains on unraveling the complex relationship between belief and work, and how a theological understanding can bring new perspectives to our professional lives.
