Your Corner of the World

Welcome to Your Corner of the World with Dan Doriani and Mark Vroegop, a podcast with and for Christians engaging their work with the love and justice of the Lord Jesus.
Both Dan and Mark have decades of pastoral ministry experience, and Dan currently shapes his corner of the world as a seminary professor, while Mark shapes his corner of the world as President of The Gospel Coalition.
In this episode, Dan and Mark discuss why they are passionate about the faith-at-work movement and what they are excited about in the coming episodes. Subscribe to join Dan and Mark as they look for Christians around the world who develop software, teach fitness classes, do research, entertain crowds, invest billions, treat patients, draft briefs, and do all sorts of other “ordinary” work for God’s glory and their neighbors’ good.

What does it look like to faithfully follow Christ in the work you do every day?
In Your Corner of the World, Dan Doriani and Mark Vroegop talk with Christians working across business, medicine, education, government, the arts, and more about how biblical wisdom shapes the way they work, lead, serve, and make decisions.
The show also explores the connection between the workplace and the local church—helping pastors better understand the challenges their people face Monday through Saturday and helping Christians see how their gifts and experience can serve the church.
Whatever your work looks like, the goal is simple: to help you faithfully serve God in your corner of the world.

Longtime pastor and author Scotty Smith — founding pastor of Christ Community Church in Franklin, TN, and author of the daily prayer blog Heavenward — joins Dan for a conversation that starts with grace and ends up somewhere more personal. They dig into what Dan calls "horizontal legalism": the subtle habit of keeping a mental ledger of the good we've done for others, and quietly expecting it to be repaid in favor, attention, or love. From there the conversation moves into what that looks like at work (bosses, firing, being "the boss God gave you") and at home (grandkids, marriage, aging out of a leadership role), before Scotty opens up about growing up as what he calls an "emotional orphan" and how that shaped the way he — and many high-performing leaders — chase approval without realizing it.
