Hosts Landon Williams and Bob Willumsen discuss how Christian faith intersects with business leadership, focusing on the reasons behind our goals and the identities we chase.

Using Scripture (John 16, Philippians 3), personal stories, and practical metaphors, they contrast worldly success—wealth and recognition—with the 'complete joy' found in Christ and ask business leaders: what ladder are you climbing?

You're listening to Marketplace Calling, a weekly podcast with real conversations at the intersection of Christian faith and business leadership, hosted by Landon Williams and Bob Willumsen.

In this episode Landon and Bob explore how goals and ambition interact with Christian identity, asking whether success can deliver the joy we seek. They discuss the "ladder" metaphor, scripture passages (John 16:24 and Philippians 3:8), and practical questions for business leaders about what they are actually climbing toward.

Listeners are invited to reflect on their own motivations and consider whether their ladder is leaning against the right wall.

In this episode of Marketplace Calling, Landon Williams and Bob Willumsen explore how faith reshapes our workplace identity, using Jacob's night of wrestling in Genesis as a model for exchanging self-made titles for God-given purpose.

They discuss the danger of drifting into false identities—such as success, influence, or approval—and invite business leaders to consider what God might be asking them to release so they can walk in the calling prepared for them.
