Get the FREE guide + all 10 episodes bundled into a mini e-course for you at www.kelseykemp.com/module1 The 10 BIG questions we’ll be addressing in this season are... Isn't sharing the gospel the only thing that really matters? Does physical, material, or “secular” work really matter to God? Are true "callings" only for the special few while the rest of us have normal, mundane work? Does God have a specific vocational path he wants for me, or are there a variety that would be pleasing to Him? Is work really meant to fulfill us? Or should we just find our satisfaction in Christ? Is it selfish to want purpose and fulfillment? Is it just for my own fame, prosperity, or self worth? Is work a curse? What does the bible say about how we should go about “finding our calling”? How do I really know that I’m called to do something? Can we miss our callings?

Introducing Season 5: Biblical Answers to the 10 BIGGEST Questions We Have About Our Callings

Eeek. At the risk of sounding crazy or sharing vulnerable details, I need to give credit where credit is due: God showed me a miracle this week in a moment that really tested my faith, and I'm sharing it in the hopes that it's what you need to hear. This is a longer episode, but if you stick around until the end, the last part might be most important of all. This is the truth behind why I do what I do. Sincerely, Kelsey

102: How I almost got on Oprah at 17 (+ how this applies to your career)

Oh man. I came across Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 this morning and thought: "THIS WOULD HAVE RESOLVED SO MUCH AGNST AND DISAPPOINTMENT if I had memorized this before trying to get a new job or start my business!" Because this passage perfectly sums up a life-changing lesson we often forget: Trying to predict the shortest path to success is often a waste of time. We don't know what God is going to work through. Just take faithful action and trust that God will probably surprise you with what ends up working out. In this episode, I share stories of how my career coaching clients, me in my early days in business, and even those who invest in the stock market could benefit from the lessons we can derive from these 6 verses. This episode is a MUST-LISTEN for anyone who is working toward a big goal (especially if you're applying for jobs or trying to start a business). ------------------------------------------------------ ✅ Join The Job Offer Accelerator waitlist at www.jobofferaccelerator.com JOA is your comprehensive job search resource library with 24+ in-depth audio lessons, templates, scripts, how-to-guides, and resources helping you land better offers, faster - and even negotiate thousands more.
