For some reason, I had been of the impression that the popularity of “The Secret”– that book Oprah puffed a couple of years ago– was on the wane. I was recently proven wrong when I spoke with a bright, articulate young man who had just moved to the U.S. from Peru. He was deeply engaged in the book’s message. Then I did a little more digging and found out that it’s still a bestseller and there are a number of very popular websites and “spiritual teachers” promoting it (and thereby proving its truth?). So what’s it all about? The author claims it’s at the heart of Christian teaching… is it? That’s what I’ll be examining this week on the God Knows What podcast.

This week is the second part of the interview with Carolyn Schoenborn, executive director of Life Journey Ministries. This week, Carolyn talks about what it means to have a vocation in today’s corporate culture, and about her work with Life Journey Ministries.

This week on God Knows What Tom talks with Carolyn Schoenborn of Life Journey Ministries about how work can be more than just an occupation. This is the first of two programs that examine how faith transforms our life at work.
