Hello and welcome to the Jada Edwards podcast. Today, we are talking about what it looks like to be in full-time ministry and when your mission field is actually the workplace. I have some fabulous guests with me and I cannot wait for you to hear from them.

This is the Jada Edwards podcast. Welcome to Season 5. As usual, we're going to get into the Bible in the Word of God,

but we're also going to talk about friendship and overall wellness,

what it means to be in various seasons of life.

Laugh a lot and grow together.

I can't wait for you to see what's in store.

All right.

Ladies, I'm so excited y'all are here today. We're finally in here. So I have with me two amazing guests, y'all. I'm going to let them introduce themselves. I have Rosemary Lewis and Denisea Martinez, who I still want to say Denisea Thomas sometimes. And you've been married how many millions a year? Wow, 15 now. 15. But in my mind, it's like, you know, that's how I met you. So anyway, all right. So Rosemary, tell us a little bit about what you do in the workplace, what life is like for you now. I am Rosemary Lewis and I am a real estate broker. So I serve the Metroplex here in Dallas. I'm also a team leader, a podcaster. I teach digital courses to realtors. I coach realtors. So just, you know, no, no, some, some. All the entrepreneurial things. Right, right, from the classroom to now, like, I'm like, she's a mogul. I have a friend at the Moble. So, killing it. All right, Denisea, tell us what what's going on with the to not do all that. I work for a large farmer company by the name of Jenentech, and I'm what's called the healthcare executive director. So what I think about my role, it's if you think about the health care landscape, it's where the payers, providers, we deal a lot with some policy makers as well as patients come together.

And so my job is just a coordinated team and some leaders that take care of the local marketplace.

You make that sound very small.

Exactly.

But you have, you've led some pretty large teams with Genente.

What has been your largest leadership role there?

62 people.

And right now I have seven managers. No, now I have six managers to report directly to me. And we're responsible for about $1.6 billion worth of

business. Yeah. Yeah. So I remember when you first got your genetic, I was like, what? We felt so

excited. We were young and glad that our friend was killing it in pharma and still is.

And so, y'all, thank you so much for being here.

We have had some really good conversations.

Some of it kicked off in January.

You know, we do a big climb leadership conference and had some good conversations around what it looks like to be in ministry, in the workplace, especially because a lot of people still don't know that I work
