Summary
Welcome to Exploring the Marketplace — the podcast where faith meets influence.
Today’s special live December episode features Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson in an unfiltered, timely conversation about burnout, rest, and God’s design for work and life. With recent studies showing that over 60% of Americans are experiencing burnout—and nearly 80% of people under 35—this episode speaks directly to the moment we’re living in.
From boardrooms and businesses to ministry, family life, and personal calling, Shawn and Bob unpack:
- Why burnout is not just a workplace issue, but a spiritual one
- What Scripture reveals about rest, Sabbath, and sustainable purpose
- How to recognize unhealthy rhythms—and course-correct with God
- Practical ways to hear God in the middle of pressure, deadlines, and responsibility
- Why faith-filled leadership requires presence with God, not constant striving
You’ll also hear personal stories, leadership insights, and biblical perspective on navigating career demands without losing joy, clarity, or connection with God.
This episode marks a special milestone as Exploring the Marketplace officially moves to Mondays, helping you start your week inspired, grounded, and aligned with God’s purposes.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, executive, creative, pastor, or professional—this conversation will encourage you to rethink success, redefine rest, and rediscover God’s voice in everyday life.
