iWork4Him Podcast Episodes

Writer, coach, and businesswoman Peggy Bodde joins this iWork4Him Podcast episode to encourage Christian working women to use their God-given talents and abilities in the marketplace. She opens up about her own past doubts navigating a corporate leadership role while being a Christian. The work that she does can be summed up as help that she wishes she had earlier as a woman in the marketplace. Our work – and every part of our lives – is sacred because we bring God into those spaces. That’s the key message of this conversation and of Peggy’s new book, Sacred Work. (https://www.peggybodde.com/featured-book/) It’s written specifically for women and serves as a handy reference guide for tons of different work dilemmas and circumstances. To get to know Peggy even better (which we recommend because she’s a gem!), check out her previous sheWorks4Him Podcast interview.

This second show on getting involved in foster care (check out the first show too - https://www.iwork4him.com/podcast/2024/2037) is so practical and inspiring! It challenges workplace believers and retirees alike to flip the foster care system on its head – in a good way. About 90% of foster parents quit within 2 years due to the overwhelming challenges. But you and your church can be the reason these families choose to keep fostering. Imagine a designated team bringing meals, chauffeuring kids, or providing childcare – a lifeline for foster families. This is an opportunity especially for retired folks who have the time and experience to lend a hand. Cindy shares stories and ideas that we pray will leave you answering the question: “What is my something that I can contribute?” Here are some simple ways to present care communities/wraparound grandparenting to your church: Take the general idea and examples to your church leaders; offer to be an advocate for foster support Send this episode link to your pastor and others who would be interested in helping out Find resources from Promise686, a training organization that Cindy mentions in the episode (https://promise686.org) Connect with Cindy at cindy@keyfam.org, especially if you’re in PA As supporters of the podcast, check out the Kingdom-minded businesses that iWork4Him has “adopted:” SaferNet (https://www.safernet.com/) – VPN, website filters, antivirus, and internet controls in one easy to use app Patriot Mobile (https://www.patriotmobile.com/iwork4him) – is America’s only Christian conservative cell phone company.

Enjoy another “mic flip” where Jim and Martha are the ones being interviewed! This time they chat with South African Faith & Work enthusiast Bill Hollis. This conversation is chocked full of wisdom and emphasizes that God has equipped individuals with specific gifts and talents to fulfill their roles in the workplace, no matter where they are or what they do. Jim was able to share the iWork4Him Nation Covenant (https://www.iwork4him.com/jointhenation), advocating for incorporating faith into daily work routines through prayer, serving others, building authentic relationships, and maintaining excellence. The trio took some time to highlight the significance of celebrating and empowering Christian working women, acknowledging their spiritual giftings and contributions to the marketplace. Transformation happens when we bring Kingdom principles into the workplace! Expect the supernatural when you carry out your mission "as you go" in your everyday work environment. Jim and Martha recently made changes in their own lives to support Kingdom businesses.

Get a high-level overview of fostering with Jim & Martha Brangenberg. They are joined by Cindy King, Equipping Director at Keystone Family Alliance in Pennsylvania. Cindy shares her personal journey into fostering, influenced by her upbringing and her husband's involvement as a foster care case worker. The conversation delves into the challenges of fostering and adoption. Since the government is not great at parenting, it'simperative that the Church steps up to care for the widows and orphans, as expressed many times in God’s Word. Cindy sheds light on the dire state of the foster care system nationwide, emphasizing the urgent need for support and advocacy within communities. One big issue she’s seen firsthand is high caseworker turnover and reminds us that caseworkers need our support too. Studies show that with every change in caseworker, the chances of a child leaving the foster care system get slimmer and slimmer. Fostering is a specific calling but caring for children in the foster care system is a mandate from God. Listen and pray about how you can get involved in fostering or supporting foster families.

In this episode of iWork4Him, Jim and Martha Brangenberg shake things up by tossing out the idea that work and ministry are separate worlds. Nope, they're all about bringing faith right into the 9-to-5 grind! You’ll hear about why it’s so important to have a correct view of your identity (http://www.identityanddestiny.com) as a believer on assignment, living with Jesus at the center in every part of your life. Your job is way more than just a paycheck – it's a mission field where God wants to use your unique talents, gifts, and abilities to minister to others. From praying for your coworkers by name to going the extra mile in service, it’s all about bringing Jesus into your workplace. The iWork4Him Nation Covenant (https://www.iwork4him.com/jointhenation) is a great guide for doing this. Plus, they give some tips on how to be a workplace superstar, since excellence is part of the deal when you're repping Jesus. So, if you're ready to turn your office into a faith-fueled adventure, tune in and get ready to see your workplace in a whole new light. Lastly, Jim and Martha discuss how they’ve recently made changes in their own lives to support Kingdom businesses.

In this episode of the iWork4Him Podcast, hosts Jim and Martha Brangenberg are joined by John Wilson, a former country music promoter, who unveils his personal journey from wanting nothing to do with Christianity to becoming the visionary force behind Light the Way Ministry. This organization takes the Church to people who might never step foot into a sanctuary through music festivals and now their September tent revival in Springfield, Missouri. (https://www.lightthewayministry.com/revival-tour) As John recounts his experiences, he shares the unexpected encounter that led him to begrudgingly host a Christian concert in his small hometown, setting off a series of events that would ultimately transform his life. John's tale is one of resistance turning into surrender, pride giving way to humility, and a once-reluctant soul becoming a passionate instrument for spreading the message of Christ. Amidst the storytelling, the episode extends a heartfelt invitation for 5,000 intercessors (https://www.lightthewayministry.com/prayerpledge) to join in daily prayers for the upcoming revival, emphasizing the belief in the power of prayer to bring about true revival. You’ll also get a sneak peek of the TED-style talk that John will give at the upcoming U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce Business Expo.

Never doubt that God has a plan! This is what guest Lisa van den Berg learned over the last several years as she journeyed from South Africa to England to California and finally landed in Austin, Texas. Lisa reflects on her initial hesitations about Christianity, but a powerful encounter changed everything and made her realize that she could have a relationship with God and have ambitions. After starting their relationships with Jesus, Lisa and her husband struggled with putting spiritual theory into practice, which led them to Bethel Church, where God showed her how to apply her spiritual gifts to business situations. It’s amazing what the Lord will do when we just LET the light He’s put in us shine! (Matthew 5:16) Throughout the chat, Lisa talks about her passion for helping people discover their unique spiritual gifts. She also touches on her podcast "Adventures with Jesus, Today," where she shares real stories about trusting Jesus in everyday situations. (https://www.iwork4him.com/awaken-podcast-network#/program/4565722e5d89f034314bee27fb366772) As the episode wraps up, Lisa gives some down-to-earth advice, urging listeners to keep things simple by building a daily connection with God.

Do you ever feel like you’re all alone at work – the only one living out Christian values? Andrew Crapuchettes and his company Red Balloon want to assure you that you’re not alone! You can be bold for Jesus wherever you go, taking your whole self to work each day. Andrew has been a Christian CEO for quite a while seeking to bless 1) the customer, 2) employees, and 3) stakeholders, in that order. However, his commitment to being a Christian CEO ultimately led to losing his job three years ago. Out of this experience, Andrew was “redeployed” and Red Balloon emerged as an online talent connector, linking employers and employees who align with traditional Christian values. “Freedom is in demand,” and there are millions out there searching for it. One resource Red Balloon offers job seekers is the Employee Bill of Rights and Responsibilities, a document helping us to know our legal rights at work. (https://assets.redballoon.work/Employee+Bill+of+RIghts-1.pdf) Andrew lives his values out loud and wants to help so many others be able to do this. He praises organizations like G7 Networking (https://www.g7networking.com) and C12 (https://www.joinc12.com), where Christian leaders can find community but adds that he’s also found great accountability connecting with pastors and elders in his local church. Additionally, he encourages businesses to join the US Christian Chamber of Commerce to connect with like-minded entities and learn from each other's experiences. Andrew Crapuchettes will be a keynote speaker at the fast-approaching USCCC Business Expo and Global Conference (Apr 18-19), and he wants to see you there!

Welcome to the iWork4Him Podcast guest Ed Rush, a former fighter pilot turned business consultant and author. Ed shares his unique journey of faith, showing that it only takes one person to make an eternal difference in the lives of thousands. He started his career in the Marine Corps, thinking he was all alone as a believer among all 192,000 Marines, but God showed him early on how present He was in Ed’s life. This eventually led to Ed's unconventional approach to integrating faith and work, introducing “God Talks” - how he facilitates conversations with God in secular business events, breaking down perceived barriers and fostering spiritual connections even among atheists and skeptics. This is all outlined in his book God Talks, which we encourage you to get a copy of. https://GodTalks.com You can experience one of Ed’s conferences, too.

In this captivating episode, hosts Jim and Martha Brangenberg engage in a thought-provoking conversation with Joshua Brown, the visionary behind PressureWashingPastor.com. Joshua shares his transformative journey from a challenging upbringing to serving as a pulpit pastor for 22 years and, subsequently, venturing into entrepreneurship with a unique focus on pressure washing. He challenges traditional views on what it means to be a “pastor.” Don’t we all pastor or shepherd in some way? You'll learn more about the innovative concept of Pressure Washing Pastor — a franchise initiative seamlessly blending entrepreneurship and ministry. The conversation is totally iWork4Him’s bread and butter, as it emphasizes the significance of adopting a missionary lifestyle in the workplace and reframing perspectives on the integration of ministry and work. We’re ALL called to reconcile others to Christ (2 Corinthians 5:18). Watch this fantastic UpFlip video featuring Joshua that was recently released.

What kind of Church do you want to be in 2024? with Jim Brangenberg 12-31-2023 @firstbaptistchurchmarionvi9138

You’re in for a real treat with this first episode of 2024! Peter Lawry shares his journey of integrating faith and work, rejecting the conventional separation of Sunday and Monday. From nursing to accounting, Peter landed in the consulting business. It was here that he was challenged by a friend to make God the CEO of his business. And that changed everything. This year iWork4Him is moving its focus from “iWork for Him” to “iWork with Him,” and Peter really nails the importance of this with biblical examples that reveal God’s supernatural intervention when we allow Him to truly be a part of our lives. It’s not just passive but actively waiting on the Lord’s leading in every situation, even (especially) in business. Want to fill your work life with peace and power? Consider getting a copy of Peter’s book When Jesus Calls: Transforming Businesses into Expressions of God’s Kingdom - (https://www.amazon.com/When-Jesus-Calls-Transforming-expressions/dp/0473608316/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1650235271&sr=8-1) Like this conversation, it’s a profound exploration of the purpose of business as a divine design to bring people together, fostering resources for the Kingdom.

The last episode of 2023! Hosts Jim and Martha reflect on the past year and set their sights on the theme for 2024: transitioning from "iWork4Him" to "I Work WITH Him."

They also share some significant moments, like memorable nights on the front deck and the passing of Martha's father, Ted Hains.

In this episode of iWork4Him, we take a look at the importance of unity and connection among Jesus followers in the marketplace. Krystal Parker shares her personal journey, from growing up in a small town winning the church 10-year perfect attendance award.

Her story evolved from finding success in business but without real purpose to recently founding the US Christian Chamber of Commerce! This conversation emphasizes the transformation that occurred when she fully integrated her faith with her work and explores the mission of the USCCC, dedicated to celebrating and supporting Christian businesses nationwide. A key highlight is the upcoming US Christian Business Expo and Global Conference, April 18-19 2024, in Orlando. Get more info and follow for more details on the iWork4Him events page.

There’s HOPE for the public schools of America! Kori Pennypacker started out teaching the 2-year-old class at her church, progressed to directing the Children’s Ministry there, and has ended up going into schools with Bible2School instead of waiting for the children to come to church. Recent polls show that most kids aren’t being taught the Bible at home or being taken to church. They are falling for counterfeit ideas taught in public schools because they haven’t been introduced to the Truth. Bible2School wants to help you step in and bring the Truth to children across the country! This ministry can equip you with the curriculum and coaching needed to teach the Bible to elementary public school kids. Schools are ripe for the harvest, but brave parents, concerned community members, and generous business leaders are essential to make this work happen. Bible2School is currently operating in three states, but we hope that this episode encourages listeners in all 50 states to see how you can get involved with Bible2School, bringing Bible classes to your local public elementary schools. In this show, Kori talks to us about Release Time programs, which allow students an hour to learn off-site each week. This is great to know about for the elementary education mission field, but we want to let you know that we also have several past iWork4Him Podcast episodes that give more information on Employee Resource groups and other legal ways to bring God into your workplace. You can use keywords to search for those episodes on the podcast page. Businesses we believe in (and you should too!): Bible2School is an amazing resource to protect precious children from any lies being taught at their schools. A great way to protect your kids at home is to install a VPN like SaferNet.com. This tool uses 84 internet filters to make sure your family isn’t exposed to inappropriate content or damaging viruses.
