Ep 2091: Choosing a Kingdom Company

What happens when a seasoned CFO approaches the finish line of a successful career and decides not to retire? In this inspiring episode, Jim Brangenberg welcomes back his favorite sister and longtime iWork4Him board member, Sue Wilson, to share why she left corporate stress behind to join a Kingdom-minded company—and how that decision has given her renewed purpose and passion. 

From the story of the unexpected miracle of how she got her current position to mentoring the next generation of leaders, Sue reflects on what it looks like to live out your faith at work, even in the later seasons of life. Together, she and Jim dive into the difference between “Christian-run businesses” and true “Kingdom companies,” the challenges of working with broken people (believers and not), and why retirement might not be as biblical as we think. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Why Sue chose purpose over retirement—and how it led to her favorite job yet. 

  • The difference between a company with Christian values vs. a Kingdom company. 

  • How to discern whether a company is truly faith-driven before taking the job. 

  • Advice for older professionals considering a second act rooted in purpose. 

  • Real talk about confronting conflict, loving pre-believers at work, and praying over our work.

What You'll Learn: 

  • Why Jesus focused on the Kingdom more than the church—and why that matters for your work. 

  • How faith and business go hand-in-hand, and how that combination leads to excellence!

Ep 2087: Retirement is Just the Beginning

What happens when retirement isn’t the end but the beginning of a new and fulfilling chapter? In this episode, Jim and Martha sit down with Ross Harrop, a man who has dedicated his post-retirement years to mentoring and guiding Christian business leaders through C12. After 33 years with the Boy Scouts of America and a season as an executive pastor, Ross found himself searching for purpose in his retirement years — until a divine connection led him to his next calling. 

Join us and explore Ross's journey of faith, purpose, and leadership, proving that if you’ve got a pulse, you’ve got a purpose! 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Your calling doesn’t retire when you do. Ross shares how his transition from corporate life to ministry and mentoring was God divinely preparing him for his work at C12. 

  • Find where God is at work and join Him. Inspired by Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby, Ross sought where God was moving and joined in. 

  • The impact of C12. Ross reflects on how C12 has transformed both his life and the lives of countless Christian business leaders. 

  • Retirement doesn’t mean stopping — it means repurposing. Ross is living proof that our most impactful years may still be ahead of us.

Ep 2086: Rethinking God’s Will for Your Life

In this episode, Jim and Martha challenge the common question, "What is God’s will for my life?" and shift the focus to a more biblical approach: "What is God's will?" They discuss how this perspective applies to daily work, decision-making, and faith in action. By seeking to obey God in every moment rather than just planning for the future, believers can align their work and lives with His greater purpose. 

The conversation covers: 
✔️ The importance of knowing God over just seeking direction 
✔️ Learning to recognize and respond to God’s will in daily life 
✔️ How obedience leads to clarity in work and career decisions 
✔️ Personal stories of God's guidance in their journey 

They also highlight practical ways you can live out God’s will in the workplace and introduce resources like the iWork4Him Nation Covenant to help you embrace your mission field at work.

Ep 2085: Revolutionizing Workplace Discipleship

In this episode of iWork4Him, hear from Michael Boerner of Mission 17, who shares his powerful journey to Christ and groundbreaking work in equipping the Church. Raised in the LDS (Latter Day Saints/Mormon) Church, Michael’s faith took a pivotal turn when a conversation with a former Mormon introduced him to a life-changing truth: "Truth never fears to be investigated." This sparked a deep exploration that led him to the realization that salvation is a grace gift—not something to be earned but freely given through Jesus. 

As he embraced this new understanding, Michael saw the immense value of churches working together in unity, a conviction that later shaped Mission 17’s mission. Rooted in John 8:32—"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free"—his work is dedicated to breaking down theological barriers and equipping believers for workplace ministry through cutting-edge technology. 

He also emphasizes the power of friendship, trust, and relationship speed in citywide church collaboration. When leaders build genuine connections, it accelerates their ability to create lasting impact. Now, through Mission 17, Michael is embarking on a project to use innovative storytelling and digital discipleship tools to activate faith in the workplace like never before. Could this be the key to unlocking the full potential of the faith and work movement? Listen in to find out. And to start unlocking your faith and work potential, join the iWork4Him Nation!

Ep 2082: The Power of Christian Chambering

What happens when you mix business, faith, and a whole lot of divine purpose? You get the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce—an unstoppable force for believers in the marketplace! 

In this episode of iWork4Him, Jim and Martha Brangenberg—founding members and board members of the U.S. Christian Chamber—sit down with the powerhouse herself, Krystal Parker. Once a corporate oil exec, Krystal now fuels (pun intended) a movement helping Christian business owners connect, grow, and build kingdom-minded enterprises. She shares how God led her from boardrooms to building an entire national chamber network—talk about a divine career pivot! 

We dive into Kingdom Commerce, the secret sauce for thriving businesses with biblical values, and why Christian entrepreneurs should stop blending in and start standing out. Plus, if you've ever wondered why doing business with fellow believers matters (or if you’re just tired of getting burned by so-called “Christian” contractors), this episode is a must-listen. 

Curious? Inspired? Ready to chamber like a pro? Tune in and find out how to get in on this marketplace movement. For bonus content, reach out via the iWork4Him contact form for a chance to win a copy of Kingdom Commerce!
