The Series

Three strands, woven into every episode.

Every problem at work gets pulled apart and put back together with the same three threads — ancient wisdom, modern research, and one move you can actually make.

“A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12
Strand 01

The Word

We start with scripture — a principle that has held up for thousands of years. Quoted clean, never preachy, always relevant to the problem on the table.

Strand 02

The Science

Then the behavioral and psychological research that backs it up. Peer-reviewed studies on how people actually think, decide, and behave at work.

Strand 03

The Work

Finally, the part that matters: one concrete, specific thing you can do at your job tomorrow. Practical, not preachy. Always.

How Each Episode Works

Sixty seconds, four beats.

A tight, repeatable format so you always know what you’re getting — and you’re never more than a minute from a takeaway.

1

The Hook

A workplace frustration you’ve absolutely lived. If it doesn’t make you nod, it doesn’t make the cut.

Relatable
2

The Verse

A scripture that speaks directly to the problem — the timeless principle underneath it.

Biblical
3

The Science

The behavioral research that proves the principle works in the real, modern workplace.

Evidence-based
4

The Close

One clear takeaway. Something specific you can apply the very next day at work.

Actionable
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.
— Colossians 3:23

Your Host

Hi, I’m
Brett Kelzenberg.

I’m a sales analyst — I spend my days inside the data of one of the country’s biggest food cooperatives, reading how people actually behave when money, pressure, and ego are on the line. The workplace is my lab.

I also hold a B.S. in Human Nutrition from the University of North Dakota, where I learned to read research, interpret studies, and tell the difference between a real finding and a good story. And I’m a person of faith who believes the Bible has been quietly solving workplace problems for a few thousand years — long before anyone called it “behavioral science.”

Workin in the Word is where those three things meet. I take a problem you’ve felt, back it with scripture, prove it with research, and hand you one thing to try tomorrow. Whether you read the Bible every morning or you’ve never opened one, there’s a reason to hit play.

Who It’s For

Two audiences. One takeaway.

The goal is practical, not preachy. So everyone leaves with something they can use — no matter what they believe.

If you’re faith-driven

Scripture you can take to work.

You already believe the Word speaks to every part of life. These episodes show you exactly how it speaks to your Monday — your boss, your deadlines, your difficult coworker — in language you can actually use.

If you’re not religious

The research stands on its own.

Skip the scripture if you want — the behavioral science is real, cited, and useful by itself. Most people stay for both, because it turns out ancient wisdom and modern psychology keep landing in the same place.

Never Miss an Episode

Let’s work it out, in the Word.
