Anne Wooten’s Career Change at Sixty and Trusting God Through Transition

Anne Wooten’s story is at the center of this episode of the Practical Faith Academy blog. After many years doing the same kind of work, she made a career change in her sixtieth year, moving from accounting into a Christian ministry focused on writing and helping people through life transitions. The post describes her path as one she came to see as a roadmap, and it notes that she speaks openly about the fear and uncertainty that often come with major change.

The host introduces the conversation with three questions for Wooten: how Christians can navigate change, how God can provide direction one step at a time, and how believers can resist the inner critic that holds them back from changing. The episode is presented as a discussion of these practical concerns rather than a set of fixed answers.

The author also shares a personal takeaway from the conversation. In the author’s view, pride and the need to control outcomes can weaken trust in God, while trust becomes easier when a person sets aside pride and lets go of the urge to control. The author admits this is easier said than done and describes it as a personal goal.

The post closes with information for listeners. The podcast can be heard on the Cecil Taylor Ministries website and on major podcast platforms, where listeners can search for “Practical Faith Academy.” The post also points readers to the ministry’s books and video studies, which are offered for individuals, small groups, and churches.
