Profession and Faith | Episode 1

In this episode of Downstream from Florida College, Dr. John Weaver launches a new series exploring the intersection of profession and faith—conversations with Christians who have built lives of purpose and service through their work.

Dr. Weaver is joined by Florida College alumnus Will Speer, who now preaches at the Bremerton Church of Christ in Washington. Will shares thoughtful wisdom for life in the season right after college, offering insight on vocational decision-making, character, and keeping service to God at the center of one’s choices.

This conversation encourages young adults to think beyond job titles and toward lives shaped by faith, purpose, and faithful service.
