    Faith Around the World: Nigeria with Christian Idoga

    In this powerful episode of Faith and Work, Carole sits down with Christian Idoga, an educator, leader, and mentor based in Nigeria, whose life and work are deeply rooted in his faith in Jesus Christ. Christian shares how his passion for education and discipleship is driven by a simple but profound belief: many of the struggles we face in life are not just about circumstances, but about understanding. Through his work in education and his “Business from a Biblical Perspective” teaching, he is committed to helping others grow in both knowledge and faith so they can walk in purpose and freedom. Together, Carole and Christian explore what it truly looks like to integrate faith into every area of life...from business and leadership to family and personal growth. Christian challenges the idea that faith and work should be separate, instead emphasizing that our identity in Christ should shape how we think, lead, and build. He also shares deeply personal parts of his journey, how his relationship with God developed over time, how Scripture became his foundation for understanding life and success, and even a life-threatening moment that revealed the power and protection of God in a very real way. One of the most powerful themes of this conversation is the idea of access, that the greatest miracle is not just what God can do for us, but the relationship we have with Him through Jesus. When we shift our focus from chasing results to seeking Christ, everything about how we live and work begins to change. This episode is a meaningful reminder that: Our greatest need is not more success, but deeper understanding Our work is an extension of who we are in Christ And the most valuable thing we have isn’t what we achieve, but the access we’ve been given to God Whether you’re navigating your career, leading others, building something new, or simply trying to grow in your faith, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about purpose, identity, and what it means to truly live out your faith in your work.

    Learning How To Unmute Yourself with Dr. Rita Renee Ep. 36

    Have you ever sat quietly at a table because you were afraid to speak up? Maybe you worried you would say the wrong thing. Maybe you felt overlooked, intimidated, or unsure if your voice really mattered. For many of us, learning how to speak up isn't about becoming louder or more aggressive. It's about learning to walk in confidence without shame. In this episode, we talk about what it means to find your voice and step into the space God created for you to occupy. God didn't create you to shrink back in fear or sit silently believing your thoughts don't matter. He created you with intention, purpose, wisdom, and a voice worth using. Whether you're navigating leadership, motherhood, business, ministry, relationships, or simply trying to build confidence in everyday conversations, this episode will encourage you to stop hiding and start showing up boldly and authentically. We'll discuss: Learning how to speak up with confidence Why boldness doesn't have to be loud or pushy Overcoming fear, shame, and self-doubt Using your voice in leadership and everyday life How faith shapes confidence and communication Why God calls us to courage, not perfection Finding your seat at the table without apologizing for your presence If you've ever struggled with confidence, communication, people-pleasing, or feeling unseen, this conversation is for you. You were never created to disappear in the background. You were created on purpose, for a purpose. Scripture referenced: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

    Finding Home with Kimberly Hawkins Ep. 34

    In this heartfelt and deeply transformative conversation, Carole Evans sits down with Kimberly Hawkins to explore what it truly means to find rest, not in circumstances, but in the presence of the Shepherd. Kimberly shares her journey from a fast-paced, achievement-driven life to a season of complete surrender marked by anxiety, health challenges, and an unexpected calling to step away from work and write a book on rest. What began as a breaking point became a sacred invitation: to stop striving, to release control, and to learn how to hear the voice of God. Through honest storytelling, Kimberly reveals how God used the valley, not to harm her, but to restore her. She opens up about identity struggles, marriage tension during seasons of transformation, and the painful yet beautiful process of being emptied so she could be filled with Christ. Together, Carole and Kimberly unpack what it looks like to stop “shepherding ourselves” and instead follow the voice of the One who leads us beside still waters. This episode is an invitation to anyone who feels exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck in striving: there is a better way and it begins with hearing His voice.   Check out her book, Home on Amazon now.  Buy Now On Amazon
