Along the way, they share some funny stories from home, observations from the internet, and a few thoughts on why online comment sections may have been a mistake. The conversation also includes updates on some exciting projects in the works, including The Grandfather Effect and 40 to Life, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at what’s happening at Stained Glass Media.

  Searching for a New Job

  Jun 24, 202653 minS1

  What happens when the career you've known for decades suddenly comes to an end? In this episode, Brian and Lauren are joined by Lisa Anderson, formerly host of The Boundless Show at Focus on the Family, to talk about navigating an unexpected career transition and what it looks like to step into a brand-new season. After spending more than two decades at one organization, Lisa shares what her final days at Focus on the Family were like, the emotions that come with closing a significant chapter, and how she's processing the uncertainty of what comes next. Together, they discuss what you look for—and what you don't look for—when you have the opportunity to rethink your career path. How do you write a resume after 20-plus years? How do you discern what's next when there isn't a clear roadmap? And how do you trust God when you're in a season of waiting? Whether you're actively job searching or supporting someone who is, you'll find wisdom, humor, and hope in this discussion about embracing the unknown.
