Can you share—and defend—your faith at work without being pushy, preachy, or landing in HR?Josh and Eric sit down with Dr. Mark Farnham, professor of apologetics at Lancaster Bible College, founder of Apologetics for the Church and author of Every Believer Confident. Together, they explore why doing your job well is your first line of witness, how simple worldview questions can open meaningful spiritual conversations, and why you don’t need to “close the deal” for an interaction to count.Whether you’re a manager, a machinist, or simply trying to be faithful in your next meeting, this conversation offers practical guidance for representing Christ with confidence, wisdom, and genuine care.

What does it look like to live out your faith in a professional environment without being awkward, forced, or performative?Commercial banker and community leader Jess Gehman joins Josh and Eric to discuss how faith shapes the way she builds relationships, serves clients, navigates difficult conversations, and approaches her work in banking. Jess shares how the example of faithful coworkers influenced her, why our everyday jobs can be part of our calling, and how churches and Christian communities can better prepare people to connect Sunday worship with Monday work.Along the way, the conversation explores purpose, stewardship, community, small-business banking—and why sharing your faith might be a little like sharing a really good cake.Whether you work in banking, education, business, ministry, or somewhere else entirely, this conversation is an encouragement to see your work as more than just a job.--Subscribe for weekly episodes on leadership, purpose, and professional growth.Join the Community: faithworkslanc.orgFollow on Socials: @faithworksLanc ​

In this episode of FaithWorks Lancaster: Conversations on Calling, Josh and Eric explore what it means to stay human — and Christian — at work in the age of artificial intelligence.Using David Brooks’ essay on three types of AI users as a starting point, they discuss the “productive passenger,” the “reluctant optimizer,” and the “mental marathoner.” Along the way, they ask what may be lost when AI makes work easier, why effort and attention still matter, and how Christian vocation reframes the conversation around productivity.The episode lands on a deeper question: if AI can produce, summarize, and assist, what can it not do? Brooks suggests that AI cannot hunger — it has no structure of cares, no order of loves, and no vocation. Josh and Eric connect that insight to worship, Sabbath, work as an offering, and the ordinary choices that shape our loves at the desk on Monday morning.If you are trying to use AI wisely without outsourcing your attention, your calling, or your humanity, this conversation is for you.
