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!
