00:00:02.299 --> 00:00:05.860
Welcome to Created for Work, a Christian podcast
00:00:05.860 --> 00:00:08.919
where faith meets the workplace. From Genesis
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:11.500
to Revelation, God created us in His own image
00:00:11.500 --> 00:00:14.939
and designed us for work. In the beginning of
00:00:14.939 --> 00:00:17.739
scripture, we see a God who works and creates,
00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:20.679
who cultivates, and who invites us to join Him
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:24.440
in meaningful labor. Creative for Work is a podcast
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.280
that explores practical topics in the workplace,
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.039
leadership, calling, and what it truly means
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.340
to reflect God's image through our work. Creative
00:00:33.340 --> 00:00:35.640
for Work is also for the job seeker and those
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.700
in the workforce looking to grow in their profession.
00:00:38.539 --> 00:00:40.799
We will explore topics in the workplace such
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:44.119
as identity and self -worth beyond a job title,
00:00:44.820 --> 00:00:47.859
purpose, calling, and transferable skills, courage,
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.640
confidence for interviews, perseverance through
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.740
rejection and waiting, and integrity and excellence
00:00:53.740 --> 00:00:57.259
in work and life. We'll also answer questions
00:00:57.259 --> 00:00:59.539
related to job search and growing your career.
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:02.479
What happens when your job search lasts longer
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.219
than you expected? When rejection emails pile
00:01:05.219 --> 00:01:08.579
up? When confidence feels shaken and you begin
00:01:08.579 --> 00:01:11.260
to wonder what comes next? How to grow in your
00:01:11.260 --> 00:01:15.129
career and how to show your value. Your podcast
00:01:15.129 --> 00:01:18.230
hosts, Elizabeth and David Hart, bring over 50
00:01:18.230 --> 00:01:21.170
years of combined experience in workforce development,
00:01:21.670 --> 00:01:24.730
training, and human resources. As co -founders
00:01:24.730 --> 00:01:27.769
of Tailored for Success, a missions -driven nonprofit
00:01:27.769 --> 00:01:31.609
that empowers job seekers to become economically
00:01:31.609 --> 00:01:34.170
self -sufficient, they have dedicated themselves
00:01:34.170 --> 00:01:36.489
and walked alongside individuals in the workplace,
00:01:36.590 --> 00:01:39.829

00:01:39.829 --> 00:01:42.939

00:01:51.700 --> 00:01:54.340
life -giving perspective of work using the Christian
00:01:54.340 --> 00:01:57.519
worldview. Your podcast hosts believe that work
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.980
is more than just a paycheck. It's a calling.
00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:03.140
And from the very beginning, God designed each
00:02:03.140 --> 00:02:05.760
of us with purpose, gifting us to contribute,
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.460
to lead, to serve, and to reflect His character
00:02:09.460 --> 00:02:12.699
in everything that we do. Whether you're in business,
00:02:13.139 --> 00:02:16.599
healthcare, technology, nonprofit, the trades,
00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:20.340

00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:22.520

on the job and how their faith shapes the way
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.800
that they have responded. Because the truth is,
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.719
