198. Let God Do What God Does Best with Toni Campbell

As Christians, we are called to serve. It's more than just ticking a box or attending an event; it's woven into who we are—truly part of our very nature. At least, it should be. Toni Campbell's book, "Jesus Has Left the Building," offers not only a dozen inspiring and practical ways to spread the love of Christ into our communities, both now and in the future, but also includes detailed step-by-step guidance on how to make it happen. Toni shares personal stories about how these ideas took shape, openly discusses the mistakes along the way, and celebrates the lives impacted, all while providing helpful details such as timelines, required tools, volunteer needs, estimated costs, and resources to consider. This isn't just a book full of ideas; it's a toolkit and an inspiring guide for action. Growing up, Toni loved singing, writing, and acting. She studied voice at Westminster Choir College and music at Rider University, dreaming of a career in performance. However, after two semesters, she married and took a job that eventually led her to a 20-year career in Human Resources—working for a school district, a publisher, and ultimately, a pharmaceutical company. When that company closed its doors in 2002, Toni decided to go back to school and took Communication courses. She quickly fell in love with radio, and thanks to a professor's encouragement to try commercial writing, she interned at a local radio station. Just a few months later, she started a new chapter in their Creative Services department, where she spent 12 wonderful years — first as a Copywriter and later as a Creative Services Director — creating, voicing, and producing commercials for five stations. During this time, she also enjoyed teaching as an Adjunct Professor at the same college where she earned her Radio degree, teaching Writing for Radio/TV and Intro to Radio for five years.  This is Toni's second visit with Sue Duffield on the Suebiquitous Podcast. ,  "Let God Do What God Does Best" - Toni Campbell. www.tonicampbell.org
