The Spiritual Gift of Carpentry?

Ever wondered if your everyday work could be a sacred calling? In this uplifting episode of Seedbed Inc’s Wake Up Call, host Andrew Forrest invites you to discover the hidden spiritual power in ordinary vocations—yes, even carpentry! Tune in as Andrew Forrest shares personal insights from Exodus 31 and reveals why Bezalel—an ancient craftsman—was the first person in the Bible to be filled with the Holy Spirit, not a prophet or priest, but a “regular” worker. You’ll hear how this surprising passage unlocks a liberating truth: God values every kind of skill and uses all kinds of people to build His kingdom. This episode is bursting with encouragement—whether you’re a leader, a parent, an artist, or someone quietly shaping the world through “ordinary” tasks. Key highlights include: Andrew Forrest's honest confession about how he structures his day for focus and creativity, inspiring reflection on how we manage our own time; An eye-opening exploration of spiritual gifts that aren’t limited to church roles, but extend to skills like craftsmanship, caregiving, and everyday work; Thought-provoking questions to help you uncover your unique calling and encourage those around you. Cap it off with a heart-stirring rendition of the hymn “Blessed Assurance,” and you’ll leave this episode with renewed confidence in your God-given abilities. If you’re ready to wake up to your true purpose and celebrate the sacred in the ordinary, this episode is for you.
