Welcome to Exploring the Marketplace — the podcast where faith meets influence.

Today’s special live December episode features Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson in an unfiltered, timely conversation about burnout, rest, and God’s design for work and life. With recent studies showing that over 60% of Americans are experiencing burnout—and nearly 80% of people under 35—this episode speaks directly to the moment we’re living in.

From boardrooms and businesses to ministry, family life, and personal calling, Shawn and Bob unpack:

• Why burnout is not just a workplace issue, but a spiritual one
• What Scripture reveals about rest, Sabbath, and sustainable purpose
• How to recognize unhealthy rhythms—and course-correct with God
• Practical ways to hear God in the middle of pressure, deadlines, and responsibility
• Why faith-filled leadership requires presence with God, not constant striving

You’ll also hear personal stories, leadership insights, and biblical perspective on navigating career demands without losing joy, clarity, or connection with God.

This episode marks a special milestone as Exploring the Marketplace officially moves to Mondays, helping you start your week inspired, grounded, and aligned with God’s purposes.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, executive, creative, pastor, or professional—this conversation will encourage you to rethink success, redefine rest, and rediscover God’s voice in everyday life.

Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson dive into the real stories you don’t usually hear on Sundays—where faith, work, courage, and calling collide. This episode is all about building runways from where you are now to what God is inviting you into next.

You’ll hear an inspiring conversation with Lauren Lancaster, a former casino executive assistant who followed a God-given spark into a thriving 20+ year career as a professional makeup artist in Los Angeles and beyond. From cleaning apartments and living on faith to red carpets, major productions, and divine open doors, Lauren shares how obedience, consistency, community, and wise counsel shaped her journey.

In this episode, we explore:

• How to steward a spark into a sustainable career
• Why assignments change, but identity doesn’t
• The power of consistent reps over time
• Navigating pivots, setbacks, and providential doors
• Inviting wisdom, counsel, and community into your process
• Recognizing God’s guidance in unexpected transitions

These conversations are designed to give you courage—to dream with God, take practical steps forward, and trust Him through the hard seasons as well as the breakthroughs.

If you’re wrestling with calling, career transitions, or how faith fits into real-world work, this episode will encourage you to keep going.

Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson sit down for an honest, faith-filled conversation about obedience, generosity, and trusting God through the realities of business, money, and calling.

This episode features marketplace leader and entrepreneur Elena Huggins, who shares her powerful journey as a single mom, business owner, and believer navigating hardship, risk, generosity, and growth. From funding missions instead of going on them, to giving sacrificially when resources were scarce, to learning how obedience shapes long-term fruit—this conversation pulls back the curtain on faith lived out in real life.

Together, Shawn, Bob, and Elena explore: • How obedience and generosity shape careers and finances • Why trust is the key to long-term faithfulness • The loneliness many high-level leaders face—and why community matters • The hidden cost of entrepreneurship and the grace God gives in the struggle • How honesty, humility, and surrender lead to breakthrough • Why faith is often forged in discomfort, not ease

These are the stories you don’t usually hear on Sundays—real conversations from the marketplace that will give you courage to trust God with your career, finances, and future.

If you’ve been praying for breakthrough, clarity, or renewed faith around money and calling, this episode is for you.
