In this episode, Ken Freire and Patrick Lowndes introduce the heart behind the Buried Talent podcast and tackle the critical question: why another faith and work podcast? They expose the common disconnect Christian professionals feel between their faith and their daily work, confronting the sacred-secular divide that often leaves believers feeling like their 9-to-5 doesn’t matter to God. Instead, Ken and Patrick argue that your workplace is not a detour from your calling—it's where your calling is meant to be lived out.
