🎄 BONUS EPISODE | Faith at Work During the Holidays
Making Time for Rest in the Midst of the Hustle
with Carole Evans

As we enter the Christmas season, many of us feel the pressure to do more, produce more, and push harder — especially at work. But what if this season is actually an invitation to live out our faith more intentionally right where we are?

In this special holiday bonus episode of the Rybickulous Faith Podcast, Sarah Rybicki sits down with leadership coach and Faith + Work podcast host Carole Evans to talk about integrating faith into the workplace, redefining productivity, and embracing biblical rest in the middle of the hustle.

Carole shares her journey of growing up in a pastor’s home, navigating the corporate world, and discovering that our identity is not found in productivity — but in Christ. Together, they explore practical, authentic ways to live out faith at work without pressure, performance, or burnout.

This episode is especially timely for the holiday season — when opportunities to share faith often come through kindness, presence, leadership, and rest, not just words.

✨ Whether you’re feeling burned out, stuck, or simply longing for more meaning in your work, this conversation will encourage you to see your workplace as holy ground.

✨ Episode Highlights

• Faith and work don’t have to live in separate worlds
• Why rest is not weakness — it’s biblical
• Letting go of productivity as identity
• Practical ways to live out faith at work
• Leadership that gives everyone a voice
• Workplaces as everyday ministry spaces
