Ep 2075: Bring on 2025!

In this New Year’s Day episode, we kick off 2025 with an empowering message: Your workplace is your mission field, and your faith belongs there every day. No need to quit your job to make your work matter to God—He’s already placed you where you’re meant to be! 

Jim and Martha share their journey from believing ministry only happens in a church to realizing that every job can be a ministry. They unpack the iWork4Him Nation pledge: Pray for your coworkers, serve them with love, befriend them, work with excellence, and look for opportunities to share the reason for your hope. 

If you’ve ever struggled to reconcile faith and work, this episode is for you. Jim and Martha’s candid stories, practical steps, and humor (yes, butter is better than margarine!) will inspire you to embrace your workplace as a vibrant mission field. Plus, learn about their exciting plans for 2025, including their new coffee shop, The Gathering. 

Join the movement and make 2025 the year your faith transforms your workplace! Take the iWork4Him Nation pledge, connect with our sponsors, check out the Tapestry Project, and start truly living out your faith where you work and live.
