Podcasting and Sowing Seeds
To further build out the Leavened Lives ministry, I am launching a podcast that engages the ideas and issues I've found relevant to people as I've worked with them to navigate the integration of their faith at work.
The first podcast topic focuses on "Prayer" (9 episodes) and is available now on Spotify. Each episode is short (~5 minutes) so you can listen when you have a few minutes, like on a break at work.
These episodes are meant to elicit questions, encourage further thought, and ultimately lead to engaging me directly in conversation as part of the Leavened Lives central ministry of one-on-one coaching. If you find yourself with a question, or wanting more on a topic, I would love to connect with you at bo@leavenedlives.org.
The next topic is "Faithful Expectations" and will be posted on November 1.
Client Testimonial
"The time I have invested on my spiritual-work-formation through Leavened Lives has paid dividends far beyond the time spent in conversation. Given how much time is actually spent at work, I think it's almost irrational to not intentionally invest time where our vocation intersects with our spiritual growth and development. To me, there's only upside to getting more deeply and firmly grounded in God's presence, surprising ideas, and heart for our vocational work. And I think that can start by being curious about what He's actually up to in my vocational story — for which Leavened Lives is a perfect first step!"

Finance News
With board approval, I have decided to offer the ministry of Leavened Lives free of charge. I consider Leavened Lives to be a mission to integrate faith into work, and clients are fellow workers in that mission. Leavened Lives will continue to rely on the generous support of those who have and continue to give to support and expand this ministry.
Additionally, I want to share that I am seeking a part time job. Ideally, I would like to work with a team in a secular workplace.
Joining in Prayer
- For a part time job to provide income and experience that will better equip me to minister to clients.
- For clients who are ready to engage in this work and will have an impact on those around them.
- Discernment as to which Faith and Work ministries to engage with.
