Book 4, Episode 3: Finding Purpose Outside of Ministry
This week on the Circle 31 Podcast, Ellen and Melissa catch up with their friend and former Proverbs 31 teammate Jess Collazo. Jess recently transitioned from a ministry job to a more traditional workplace setting — and she's sharing what it looks like to carry God’s presence into a job that doesn’t come with a Bible verse in the mission statement.
With wisdom, warmth, and humor, Jess reminds us that glorifying God isn’t about our job title — it’s about how we show up. Whether you work in a ministry, a school, a corporate office, or your own living room, this conversation will leave you feeling encouraged to be faithful right where you are.
You’ll hear:
- How Jess is learning to let God use her without having to say a word.
- What it looks like to carry purpose into a “secular” workplace.
- A freeing reminder for anyone who’s ever tied their identity to achievement.
