She didn't want it to be true. For 20 years, Katherine Alsdorf — Silicon Valley CEO, three-time tech executive, UVA MBA — ran as far from God as she could. Then she surrendered. One month later, she was asked to run a company as a brand-new Christian.
What followed was a decade of wrestling with one question: What difference does it actually make if I'm a Christian at work?
That question eventually became the Center for Faith and Work at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City — and a book she co-wrote with Tim Keller that has now reached over 500,000 readers in 17 languages.
In this conversation with Bob Varney, Katherine shares:→ Her 20-year journey away from — and back to — faith→ Why her conversion felt like truth, not joy (and why that's more common than we think)→ What it looked like to lead companies as a follower of Christ→ How she built a groundbreaking faith & work ministry from a blank sheet of paper→ Why the Gospel changes not just your soul — but your work, your city, and the world→ What she wishes every pastor understood about workplace discipleship
Whether you're a business leader, pastor, or someone who has ever felt the gap between Sunday faith and Monday work — this conversation is for you.
