In this episode of the Self-Brain Surgery Podcast, Dr. Lee Warren discusses the meaning and purpose of our work with special guest, Jordan Raynor.

Jordan, a serial entrepreneur and bestselling author, shares insights from his new book, Five Mere Christians, which profiles five ordinary individuals whose seemingly secular work transformed the world.

The episode includes powerful stories of Fred Rogers, Fannie Lou Hamer, Ole Kirk Christiansen, Hannah More, and C.S. Lewis, exploring themes of perseverance, faith, and the sacredness of everyday work.

Jordan and Dr. Warren also discuss how personal trials and societal challenges can be overcome through faith and how everyone’s work can have a profound impact. The conversation underscores the importance of recognizing the spiritual significance of all vocations and prompts listeners to reflect on their own work's potential to serve God's kingdom.
