The episode you're about to listen to was released back when the mere Christians podcast was called the call to mastery

Now if you love mere Christians, you're still going to love these older episodes because the majority of each

conversation focuses on how the gospel influences the work of our guests. With that disclaimer out of the way, please to the call to mastery. I'm Jordan Rayner. This is a

podcast for Christians who want to do their most exceptional work for the glory of

God and the good of others.

Every week I host a conversation with the Christ follower

who's pursuing world-class mastery of their vocation.

We talk about their path to mastery, their day... of their Today's guest is Jessica Honeger. She's the founder and co- CEO of Noonday Collection,

the world's most successful fair trade jewelry business. In 2015 2015 ink magazine named Noonday Collection

number 45 out of the top 5,000 fastest growing companies in America also designating it the third fastest growing

American business owned by a woman. To date, Noonday has created dignified work for over 4,500 artisans across the globe impacting

over 20,000 family members as you'll hear about in this episode.

Jessica and I sat down recently had a terrific conversation about what dignified work

actually means and what does it look like practically and how can we be creating dignified work for others in line with God's image for work in the Garden of Eden?

Speaking of the Garden of Eden, we also talked about what the shame that Adam and Eve experienced

after the fall has to do with courage and our work today. And finally, we had a

terrific discussion about how prayer and Sabbath can help us, quote, relax into the goodness of God.

You guys are going to love this conversation with my friend, Jessica Hanager.

Hey Jessica, thanks so much for joining me.

Thanks for having me.

So you're based in one of my all-time favorite food cities.

Oh, okay, I can talk food.
