Is Your Career Also Your Calling? | Co-Vocational vs Bi-Vocational Ministry

What if ministry didn’t start and stop at church?

In this episode, I sit down with a guest who breaks down the difference between bi-vocational and co-vocational living—and why the distinction matters for every believer.

🔹 Bi-vocational: Having a secular job and doing ministry, but seeing them as separate

🔹 Co-vocational: Having a secular job and doing ministry, while recognizing no divide between the two

This conversation challenges the sacred-versus-secular mindset and invites believers to see every career, workplace, and assignment as ministry. Whether you work in education, healthcare, business, government, or the marketplace, God is using your everyday work for Kingdom impact.

If you’ve ever questioned your calling, struggled to balance faith and career, or wondered how God uses your job beyond a paycheck—this episode is for you.

👉 Watch, listen, and be encouraged to live fully on mission—right where you are.

Have you ever found yourself moving from one church to another, curious to see how others worship or teach? In this honest and eye-opening episode of All Things Faith Walk, Dr. Rosemarie Downer sits down with a guest who openly identifies as a “church hopper.”
Together, they explore the heart behind church hopping—curiosity about different denominations—and unpack both the benefits and the dangers of this growing trend. 💭
They discuss the risks of spiritual stagnation, the danger of being exposed to false teaching, and the lack of rooted community that hinders true spiritual growth. But they also explore what it means to seek truth, find belonging, and remain anchored where God has called you.

It’s a powerful conversation about discernment, discipline, and the importance of spiritual commitment in today’s transient church culture.

What if our children understood—early in life—that they are never alone?
In this special episode, we explore the beautiful and biblical truth of heavenly protection through angels, designed especially with our children in mind. I sit down with a gifted author who has written a children’s book centered on God’s protecting angels, helping young hearts grasp spiritual realities in a way that is gentle, faith-building, and age-appropriate.
This conversation highlights the importance of faith-filled literature for our children—stories that don’t just entertain, but nurture trust in God, spark spiritual curiosity, and reinforce the assurance of His presence and care. We discuss why it matters what our children read, how spiritual concepts can be taught without fear, and how angelic protection can be framed as a reminder of God’s love, not superstition.
If you are a parent, grandparent, educator, or anyone passionate about raising children with strong spiritual foundations, this episode will encourage you and equip you with meaningful insight.
Because what we plant in our children’s hearts today shapes how they walk in faith tomorrow.
