The Work Week Walk Podcast
The Work Week Walk Podcast is all about practical and authentic ways to live out our faith in Jesus in the every day work place. We’ll be featuring stories from every day people (and some pastors/teachers) in every industry we can think to cover, of how they’ve grown in their faith, and lived that commitment to Jesus out in their jobs and careers. From construction to the courtroom, from the classroom to the fitness center, we’re going to learn from each other and our pastors who have also worked in the every day work world how we manifest Jesus in Holy Spirit empowered ways to those we work and serve with.

Welcome to the Work Week Walk Podcast! On this pilot episode, I want to introduce you to the purpose of this podcast. I want to share my heart and my motivation. And I want to share with you what to expect in subsequent episodes. Let's talk about living our faith out in our jobs. Let's discuss how we've each been called as Believers in Jesus to "do the work of ministry" as described in Ephesians 4:12. What does it look like to do this in the every day marketplace?
Your Host
Hey there. I'm Craig Magrum. Why am I doing this podcast? Well, I can't get away from the calling that God has put on my life to introduce Jesus to others, and to encourage others in their pursuit of Jesus. Plain and simple. So while I'm working in the every day work world, I can't escape that no matter my job, I'm a follower of Jesus first. Thus: this podcast. I want to hear from others about how they live out their love of Jesus in their every day jobs. And then share those stories with you. Why? Because I want to encourage you to live out the Great Commission that Jesus gave us each to do the work of ministry in sharing what He's done in our life. A dead faith is a useless faith. We don't want to be found useless when we stand in front of Jesus.
On a lighter note, here's a bit about me other than the above:
I love photography...landscapes and nature in particular. I love Dad jokes and puns. Even bad puns. I'm a member of the #Hashtag BBQ Competition team and love making BBQ for friends and family on our back porch. I've been married to my wife Gayle since 2001. We have two boys, Eban & Ezekiel, who are 10 years apart. Yeah, that makes life interesting.
I've been a newspaper delivery boy, a Atmospheric Hydrator Operator at a limestone quarry, worked in Christian Radio for 18 years, did Inside Sales, was an E-Commerce Content Editor, a Donor Development Specialist for a Mission in Downtown Toledo, owned & operated my own Real Estate Photography & Videography company, and now do Business Development and Client Care for a Real Estate Media software company. I'm also a licensed Pastor with the Assemblies of God, and serve as the volunteer Chaplain for my current employer.
Now...let's learn from others about getting real about doing the work of ministry that Jesus has called us to in the job we're in...and see lives changed for God's Kingdom!
