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.

Dr. Earl Lavender: “To be Fully Trained”
Ever known someone who could run 100 miles in a single day? This was my first introduction to Earl Lavender in 1985 when he ran as a fundraiser for Lipscomb Athletics. Though Earl has had wide influence in the U.S. and abroad, in both biblical and athletic arenas, he makes his big waves with humility, giving all credit to the Ultimate Teacher. Tune in and you'll learn what thousands of former students already know: time with Earl Lavender is time well spent.
