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 enjoy the episode.

Hey everybody, welcome to the call to mastery. I'm your host Jordan Reiner. This is a

podcast for Christians who want to do their most exceptional work, not for their own

fame and fortune but primarily for the glory of our great

exceptional Creator God and for the good of others. Each week I host a conversation with a Christian who's pursuing world-class mastery of their vocation.

We talk about their path to mastery, we talk about their daily habits, and how their faith influences the work that they do.

And hey, before I introduce today's guest, I just want to say happy Thanksgiving to you

all.

I'm so thankful for you. I'm thankful for the tremendously loyal and growing audience behind the called

the mastery behind my weekly devotionals, behind my books. Thank you guys for giving me the privilege of being able to focus on the work I believe that God has created me to do.

This morning I was praying that this week wherever you are in your career wherever you are on the

path to mastery that you would give thanks you give thanks to the Lord for the

season that you're in you would give thanks to him for the work

that he has given you to do in the season of life even if you're not where you want to be

vocational and I pray that you would give

thanks for the work that he's given you to do today, tomorrow, next week as you give back into the office. So hey, today

on the call to mastery I'm gonna share a conversation I had with my good friend

Crystal Witton. Crystal is an exceptional artist.

She is the creator of the wildly popular lettering prayer journal,

which many of you know that product well.
