In this episode, Paige C. Clark sits down with Samuel Sanestin, a man of many hats - he is a director of business at a financial firm, an associate pastor, a life coach, and a podcast co-host. Sam shares how he ended up in the financial services industry despite not having a background in business, and how that experience has helped him relate better to his congregation.

They discuss the importance of Christians being present in the workforce, not just in full-time ministry roles. Sam talks about the challenges of balancing his various responsibilities and how he avoids burnout by staying connected to God.

Paige and Sam also explore the similarities between leadership in business and ministry, and how Sam's faith informs his management style. They touch on the value of asking questions rather than giving direct answers, a technique Sam has learned from studying Jesus' example.

Finally, Sam provides a practical faith discipline - listening to devotionals or Bible readings during the commute to and from work as a way to stay grounded and edified throughout the workday. This insightful conversation offers wisdom for Christians navigating the intersection of faith and vocation.
