Who Is the Author of Your Career? A Faith-Driven Leader Reflection

Описание: In this solo episode of the Faith-Driven Leader Podcast, Ann Eileen Thompson invites you into a deeper question than career strategy or next steps:
Who is actually authoring your career—you, or God?
Drawing from her own winding professional journey—from early leadership roles, to Procter & Gamble, entrepreneurship, failure, rebuilding, and discernment—Ann reflects on how easily care for our work can turn into control, and what changes when we release authorship back to God.
This episode isn’t about career advice or formulas. It’s about trust. Identity. And learning to see your work as part of a larger story God is already writing.
If you’ve ever felt successful and grateful—yet still unsettled—this reflection is for you.

In This Episode, We Explore
Why the pressure to “get your career right” often creates anxiety instead of peace
How ambition and faith can quietly drift into control
Lessons from Ann’s career across retail, corporate leadership, and entrepreneurship
A defining dream that reshaped how she understood trust, abundance, and calling
What changes when you stop trying to author your career and let God lead the story
Why discernment often matters more than momentum
How recognizing the season you’re in can bring clarity—even before action


A Key Reflection
Your career isn’t something you have to solve—it’s a story God is telling.
When we loosen our grip on control and return authorship to Him, clarity doesn’t always come faster—but peace often does.

About the Book
This episode also marks the release of Ann’s new book, Faith at Work: A Practical Guide to Aligning Your Career with Who God Created You to Be.
Written as a companion rather than a prescription, the book helps readers:
Identify the season of career transition they’re in
Discern God’s voice amid ambition, fear, and uncertainty
Navigate decisions around roles, networking, interviewing, and next steps with faith and clarity

At its core, the book returns to a simple but grounding truth: God is not absent from your work—He is deeply invested in it.
