Raz and Jamie sat down again with Ann Thompson to talk about her new book, Faith at Work: A Practical Guide to Aligning Your Career with Who God Created You to Be. With nearly 30 years of experience in business, leadership, and coaching, Ann helps professionals discern God’s voice in their work, navigate seasons of transition, and discover how their career can align with the way God uniquely designed them.

In this conversation, we explored the reality that many people can be outwardly successful while quietly wondering if their work actually reflects their calling and gifting. Ann shares practical wisdom for recognizing career transitions, hearing God’s guidance in uncertain seasons, and taking faithful next steps without losing yourself in the process.

Whether you’re feeling restless in your current role, sensing God may be leading you into something new, or simply wanting to integrate your faith more deeply into your everyday work, this episode will encourage you to follow Jesus faithfully in your career decisions and trust that the Father is present in every transition.

We sat down again with our friend John McCarthy for a rich and timely conversation about what God has been doing in his life in this season.

We explored the idea of “liminal space” — those in-between moments where one door has closed, but the next hasn’t fully opened. Instead of rushing through these uncomfortable seasons, John invites us to slow down and stay connected to Jesus right in the middle of the transition.

Anchored in First Thessalonians 5:16–24, John shares a simple but powerful tool to help believers remain grounded, discerning, and attentive to the voice of God during seasons of uncertainty.

We also dive into John’s work around his new resource, The RePurpose Promise: How to Find Purpose and Joy in Retirement, where he’s helping people in their 50s and beyond rethink retirement as “re-firement.” Rather than slowing down into comfort, this season can become one of renewed purpose — discovering what the Father has next.

One of the most powerful themes in this conversation is the idea of wisdom transfer — the opportunity for older generations to invest in and disciple the next generation. When seasoned believers step into their calling, it creates a ripple effect of purpose, mentorship, and Kingdom impact.

This episode is an invitation to trust God in the in-between, resist the urge to rush ahead, and walk with Jesus in every season.

Every spring, thousands gather in Cincinnati for the unforgettable Flying Pig Marathon—and it’s not just local hype. In 2024, USA Today named it the best marathon in the U.S., highlighting both its scenic course and its one-of-a-kind, joy-filled, pig-focused spirit.

But for the last 15 years, Mariemont Church has shown up in a different way. Not inside a building… but out on the streets.

On the corner of Plainville and Murray, the church becomes the church—serving as the hands and feet of Jesus through what’s become known as “The Bacon Station.”

In this fun and joy-filled episode, Jamie and Raz talk about:
• Handing out bacon to thousands of runners
• A full-on celebration with a prayer tent, inflatables, live music, tattoos, and a selfie station
• Why the church doesn’t have to gather in a building—because we are the church
• What it looks like to bring the love, joy, and presence of Jesus into everyday spaces

And yes… this episode is as fun as it sounds—Raz is rocking a bacon bucket hat, and Jamie shows up in full “Trolls”-inspired hot pink hair to promote the Bacon Station.

But underneath the fun is something deeper:
Jesus was full of joy. He welcomed children.
He told stories that made people think—and laugh.
He turned water into wine at a wedding celebration.
He was acquainted with sorrow and grief… and yet for the joy set before Him, He endured the cross.
And through His Spirit, that same joy is available to us.

This episode is a reminder that:
• Joy is not superficial—it’s spiritual
• The presence of Jesus brings fullness of joy
• We can carry that joy into the world—even in the middle of pain, fatigue, or a 26.2 mile race

So whether you’re running, cheering, or just living your everyday life—this is an invitation to join Jesus in bringing joy, laughter, and love wherever you go.
