Work Is Worship — The Faith and Work Podcast for Kingdom Builders
Faith, Leadership, and Marketplace Conversations
Work Is Worship is a weekly faith and work podcast for Christian entrepreneurs, executives, and marketplace leaders who refuse to separate their Monday from their Sunday. Hosted on After :Sundays™, every episode translates the biblical work ethic into modern execution — from company building and hiring to prayer over profit-and-loss and how to lead a team without losing your soul. If you've been searching for a work-as-worship framework you can actually run your week on, this is the show.
A faith and work podcast built for kingdom builders
Most Christian podcasts stop at inspiration. Work Is Worship is built for the kingdom builder who still has to close the deal on Tuesday, manage a hard employee on Wednesday, and steward a marriage on Thursday. Every episode goes past devotion into decision-making: what does a faith driven entrepreneur do when growth stalls, when a co-founder walks, when culture drifts? We answer with scripture, story, and specific playbooks so you leave with something to run — not just something to feel.
The biblical work ethic, translated for the modern marketplace
The Hebrew word avodah means both work and worship — the same act. That's not a metaphor; it's an operating model. On Work Is Worship we unpack what a biblical work ethic looks like in real companies: excellence as a spiritual discipline, integrity as competitive advantage, rest as strategy, and generosity as capital allocation. Whether you're bi-vocational, running a startup, or leading a Fortune 500 team, you'll hear how founders and operators are building profitable businesses that also produce fruit.
Marketplace ministry without the cringe
You don't need to hand out tracts at the water cooler to be a missionary at work. Marketplace ministry is the daily witness of how you lead meetings, price fairly, promote honestly, and treat the person nobody else sees. Work Is Worship features interviews with Christian entrepreneurs and marketplace leaders across tech, finance, real estate, media, and the trades — people who have found the seam between commercial excellence and Christ-centered witness.
Episode formats: interviews, frameworks, and field notes
We ship three formats. Interviews with builders and leaders. Framework breakdowns that translate a chapter of scripture into an SOP or checklist you can install this week. And unscripted field notes from the road — what we're learning, wrestling with, and repenting of. Each episode ships with a companion article, key takeaways, and cross-links into the wider After :Sundays ecosystem so you can go deeper on any theme.

Questions listeners ask
What is a faith and work podcast?
A faith and work podcast integrates Christian theology with the practical realities of running a business, leading a team, and building a career. Work Is Worship focuses specifically on execution — turning biblical principles into weekly decisions for entrepreneurs and marketplace leaders.
What does 'work is worship' mean?
The Hebrew word avodah is used in scripture for both labor and worship. To say work is worship is to say your daily craft — done with excellence, integrity, and love of neighbor — is itself an act of devotion to God, not a distraction from it.
Is this podcast for Christian entrepreneurs only?
The show is written for Christian entrepreneurs and faith driven builders, but the frameworks translate to any marketplace leader — executives, operators, creatives, and people early in a career who want a biblical work ethic they can actually run.
What is the biblical work ethic?
The biblical work ethic treats work as a mandate given in Genesis: to create, cultivate, and steward. It calls for excellence, honesty, generosity, and Sabbath rest — not because they generate results, but because they reflect the character of God at work in the marketplace.
