LAUNCHING SOON
The STEADY Podcast
 The STEADY Podcast is podcast ministry where we provide a weekly, 30-minute conversation for followers of Jesus who are trying to stay faithful, encouraged, and steady in the workplace. Each week, John and a guest will answer real questions from believers facing real work challenges, offering honest conversation, practical encouragement, humor, and biblical perspective for the issues that can make Monday morning feel heavy. Whether you’re dealing with stress, difficult coworkers, leadership pressure, burnout, purpose, or the Sunday Scaries, this podcast is designed to help you feel less alone and more grounded in your faith as you show up where God has placed you.
Humanity at Work. Faith in the Everyday. Legacy at Home.
I write for people who want to lead with dignity, follow Jesus in real life, and build something meaningful in the places God has placed them: at work, at home, and everywhere in between.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
MATTHEW 6:33 NIV
