Hey friend, welcome to the Mere Christians Podcast. I'm Jordan Rayner.

How does the Gospel influence the work of mere Christians?

Those of us who aren't pastors or religious professionals,

but who work as college students, security guards

and occupational therapists.

That's the question we explore every week,

and today I'm posing it to Jason Woodard,

an operations leader with more than 30 years of experience in the manufacturing industry who

currently manages a plant in Battle Creek, Michigan.

Jason and I sat down and talked about how to fire your neighbor as yourself, why Christians should

lean into AI and automation as a means of blessing people and not eliminating them and why excellence is your ticket to entry

to sharing the gospel at work. I think you guys are going to enjoy this

conversation with my new friend, Jason Woodard.

Jason Woodard, welcome to the Meer Christians podcast.

Jordan, brother, thank you for having me on.

I am super excited to be a part of this ministry. Thank you.

Yeah, hey, longtime listener, first-time caller. You got any favorite episodes?

Ah, I do. Janitor Josh. I loved it. Janitor Josh. I loved it.

Janitor Josh. I loved it.

Yes. And I bought his book for my four-year-old granddaughter.

Yes. It was a great episode. I'm like, what? I don don't know I just think it was the epitome of what you're doing here

It's like there's this guy doing this job and he's glorifying Christ through it and loving on people and doing his work well. So yeah I'm a huge fan now.
