In this third episode of The Holy Work Podcast, host Luke LeFevre takes us on a journey into the essence of purpose, creation, and what it means to be guided by something beyond ourselves. This is a solo episode, but Luke reflects on how he is never truly alone—and neither are you. Together, we explore the mystical connection that draws us here, bridging the space and time between the speaker, listener, and a divine Creator.

Luke delves into the concept of the “architect” behind our lives, the ultimate arranger who shapes our experiences, purposes, and even our doubts. Through reflections on time-travel-like connections, quotes from Stephen King, Os Guinness, Viktor Frankl, and Bono, and the significance of discovering Holy Work, he examines why humanity’s deepest needs point toward something supernatural. It’s not just a job, a title, or an outcome—it’s a journey and a calling.
