Are you being managed out of your job without anyone telling you?

Discover practical steps for gathering facts, documenting what is happening, seeking wise counsel, preparing professionally, and trusting God amid career uncertainty. Whether you're experiencing workplace politics, difficult leadership, a toxic work environment, or signs you may be getting pushed out, this episode offers biblical encouragement for navigating career transitions with wisdom, faith, and integrity. You can be managed out of a company without being managed out of God's purpose. Red Flags at Work Christ Worker Ministries 2026, All Rights Reserved WWW.CHRISTWORKER.ORG

Red Flags at Work Part 4: Types, Traits, and Talent

Are companies really hiring the most talented candidate—or are they looking for a specific type? In this episode of The Greater Work Podcast, Sean Gibson explores red flags in the hiring process and how personality assessments, behavioral profiles, Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), artificial intelligence, age, and corporate culture can influence who gets hired—and who gets overlooked. These workplace red flags can be difficult to recognize, especially when hiring decisions seem driven more by types and traits than talent, experience, wisdom, and potential. Through biblical wisdom and lessons from 25 years in corporate America, Sean challenges Christian professionals to recognize hiring red flags while remembering that their career, calling, and identity are ultimately in God's hands. Companies may evaluate your résumé, personality, experience, and traits—but your value and calling are found in Christ, not an algorithm.

Red Flags at Work Part 3: Avoidant Initiatives

Are flashy office perks, inspiring mission statements, and "people-first" slogans always a sign of a healthy workplace? In this episode of The Greater Work Podcast, Sean Gibson uncovers the hidden reality behind Avoidant Initiatives—when organizations focus on appearances instead of addressing the real issues affecting employees. Learn how to recognize workplace red flags such as office peacocking, carewashing, greenwashing, and culture washing, and discover what Scripture teaches about discernment, authentic leadership, and evaluating an organization by its fruit rather than its image. Drawing from Matthew 7, Matthew 23, and James 1, this episode equips Christian professionals with practical, biblical wisdom to navigate workplace culture, leadership, hiring decisions, and organizational change with confidence. If you're interviewing for a new position, questioning your company's culture, or seeking to honor Christ in your career, this episode will help you see beyond appearances and follow the Holy Spirit's leading.

Stop Filling Old Shoes Part 5: Forgiving the Fisher of Men

What happens when you miss it… fail… or fall short on the path to God’s calling for your life and career? Failure is not the end of your story—it is often part of the process of becoming who God has called you to be.
