Episode Synopsis

What does it mean to live out your faith through your work? In this episode of The Beauty In-Between, Katie and Gabe sit down with Damaris Taylor, a pastor, financial advisor, and thoughtful leader, to explore the intersection of faith, identity, and vocation.   Damaris shares his personal journey: from growing up in a tight-knit family to navigating dual roles in ministry and the financial world. He reflects on finding purpose in his career, integrating spirituality into everyday work, and challenging the sacred versus secular divide.   Whether you’re questioning the meaning of your job, seeking alignment between your calling and your paycheck, or wondering how faith and work can coexist, this episode offers encouragement and insight.   🎧 Tune in now to The Beauty In-Between, where we embrace identity, explore spiritual tension, and hold space for honest conversations.   Mentioned in the episode: Follow Damaris!
