Ep 228 // The Ministry of Showing Up Anyway - Finding Joy at a Job You Didn't Choose

  Not every job is a calling you picked — and for a lot of working moms, that's exactly the point. In this episode, we talk honestly about what it looks like to show up faithfully in work you didn't choose, why that counts as ministry, and how to find real joy even when you don't want to be there. This one is especially for the moms working because they have to, not because it was ever really a choice — and for anyone who's felt like they don't quite belong in the stay-at-home-mom world or the career-mom world. You're not alone in that in-between space. In this episode, we cover: Why not loving your job doesn't mean your faith is weak What Joseph's story in Genesis teaches us about faithfulness in seasons we didn't choose The difference between happiness and joy — and why you can be honest about hating your job and still carry joy A word for moms who feel like they don't have "their people" One simple thing to carry with you this week, no plan required Scripture referenced: Genesis 39–41 (Joseph in Potiphar's house and prison) Colossians 3:23 Need extra support?
