it was a delight to appear recently on Mark Bilton’s Monday Movement Vodcast (you can also tune in as a podcast on your favourite platform).

To both our surprise, this episode reached 22,800 people.

The secret was probably that I genuinely enjoyed the conversation, which went well over an hour.

Here is Mark’s description of the conversation, with an index of subjects we covered:

What does it really mean to integrate faith and work?
In this episode, I sit down with Kara Martin—Adjunct Professor at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, author of the Workship series, and one of the clearest voices on work theology today. Kara unpacks what it looks like to co-labor with God, live an undivided life, and see our everyday work as worship.
We dive into the biblical roots of vocation, explore spiritual disciplines for the workplace, and challenge the secular–sacred divide that’s still holding back many believers. If you’ve ever felt like you had to leave your faith at the office door—or your calling at the church door—this conversation will reframe everything. From confronting burnout to embracing obedience, Kara offers practical wisdom for Christians in the marketplace who want to work with integrity, purpose, and eternal impact.
