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.
