Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson dive into the real stories you don’t usually hear on Sundays—where faith, work, courage, and calling collide. This episode is all about building runways from where you are now to what God is inviting you into next.

You’ll hear an inspiring conversation with Lauren Lancaster, a former casino executive assistant who followed a God-given spark into a thriving 20+ year career as a professional makeup artist in Los Angeles and beyond. From cleaning apartments and living on faith to red carpets, major productions, and divine open doors, Lauren shares how obedience, consistency, community, and wise counsel shaped her journey.

In this episode, we explore:

• How to steward a spark into a sustainable career
• Why assignments change, but identity doesn’t
• The power of consistent reps over time
• Navigating pivots, setbacks, and providential doors
• Inviting wisdom, counsel, and community into your process
• Recognizing God’s guidance in unexpected transitions

These conversations are designed to give you courage—to dream with God, take practical steps forward, and trust Him through the hard seasons as well as the breakthroughs.

If you’re wrestling with calling, career transitions, or how faith fits into real-world work, this episode will encourage you to keep going.

Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson sit down for an honest, faith-filled conversation about obedience, generosity, and trusting God through the realities of business, money, and calling.

This episode features marketplace leader and entrepreneur Elena Huggins, who shares her powerful journey as a single mom, business owner, and believer navigating hardship, risk, generosity, and growth. From funding missions instead of going on them, to giving sacrificially when resources were scarce, to learning how obedience shapes long-term fruit—this conversation pulls back the curtain on faith lived out in real life.

Together, Shawn, Bob, and Elena explore: • How obedience and generosity shape careers and finances • Why trust is the key to long-term faithfulness • The loneliness many high-level leaders face—and why community matters • The hidden cost of entrepreneurship and the grace God gives in the struggle • How honesty, humility, and surrender lead to breakthrough • Why faith is often forged in discomfort, not ease

These are the stories you don’t usually hear on Sundays—real conversations from the marketplace that will give you courage to trust God with your career, finances, and future.

If you’ve been praying for breakthrough, clarity, or renewed faith around money and calling, this episode is for you.

Today on Exploring the Marketplace with Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson, we’re joined by Jock Hiltz—Creative Director at Cartoon Conrad Productions and a storyteller whose journey is anything but ordinary.

After spending 17 years in the federal government, Jock took a courageous leap into the world of animation, filmmaking, and creative leadership. What began as a small production company in 2012 grew into a decade of hands-on directing, producing, and building unique visual stories—eventually partnering with his best friend Luke Conrad at Cartoon Conrad.

Jock shares how faith shaped every step of his career: from praying for divine connections, to unexpected open doors in reality television, to launching his own company that became his full-time work during COVID. He talks about rejection that forged resilience, projects that fell through, and how God continually turned setbacks into new opportunities—including a self-written TV movie now headed into production.

You’ll also hear incredible marketplace miracle stories, including how their studio acquired 300 acres through last-minute breakthrough financing and how a surprising call from Will Smith’s Westbrook company unlocked a wave of new collaborations with major YouTubers and entertainment leaders.

Jock brings heart, humility, and a faith-filled perspective to both creativity and leadership. You won’t want to miss this inspiring conversation!
