In this episode, Caroline Spencer is joined by Victoria, a barrister and mother of two, for a conversation on ambition. How do we discern if our goals are serving others - or quietly serving self?
Drawing on real workplace examples, Biblical wisdom, and personal reflection, this conversation reframes ambition through the lens of Jesus.
This episode offers practical tools to help listeners discern when to say 'yes', when to say 'no', and how to pursue goals without sacrificing relationships.
Bible References: Proverbs 21:5, Mark 10:35-45, Philippians 2:3 and 2 Corinthians 5:9

DISCUSS with a trusted Christian friend
- Think about a current situation where there is the choice to lean into ambition or to lean out. Ask yourself: Who wins? Who loses? Who is sacrificed? (or think of a past situation instead).
- What questions does this raise for you?
- Are there any actions you need to take?
- More broadly - what would it look like to make pleasing Jesus your primary ambition at work?
