Gladness & Hunger with Leanne W. Smith
Author/Professor Leanne W. Smith sits down with key individuals to mine the magic of their vocational stories. Inspired by Frederick Buechner who said the key to a career satisfying to both soul and pocketbook was to find “where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet," this podcast is geared to writers, students, story lovers, and anyone seeking inspiration for their own vocational journey.
As a fiction writer and business professor at Lipscomb University with a heart to teach students how to build sustainable careers that actually feed their soul, Smith's deep gladness is in sharing messages of hope and inspiration like these.

Dave & Sydney Clayton: “Ripples of Love”
What does it look like to build a life that creates ripples of influence far beyond your immediate circle? My husband Stan and I met Dave and Sydney Clayton, of Ethos Church, when they were undergraduates at Lipscomb—even then, they were influencers on a wider-than-average scale. In this episode, they share how they're raising sons to be fathers, the transformative power of consistent rhythms, and the practice of habit-stacking. If you're seeking to live with greater intentionality and impact, this conversation will inspire you.
