What do Mr. Rogers, the founder of LEGO, and a civil rights legend have in common? They were all “mere Christians” doing extraordinary things through ordinary work. In this episode of the Embracing Brokenness Podcast, Steve welcomes back bestselling author Jordan Raynor to dive into his latest book, 5 Mere Christians—a fresh, binge-worthy collection of biographies showing how everyday believers glorify God in powerful, practical ways.

✅ Why “secular” work is sacred
✅ How to eliminate hurry and live like Jesus
✅ What CS Lewis, a former atheist, teaches us about discipleship
✅ How your daily work—no matter what it is—matters for eternity
🔥 Plus: Get the scoop on a once-in-a-lifetime giveaway trip to England & Denmark—walk in the footsteps of Lewis and LEGO!
