Ep 2081: Why Women Lead Differently—And Why That’s a Good Thing

Jim and Martha Brangenberg sit down with Catherine Gates to discuss how Christian women experience work differently from men. Many struggle to find faith-based support in professional settings or feel overlooked in church discussions about work. Women often face unique challenges—being unheard in meetings, lacking mentorship, or feeling pressured to lead like men. 

Catherine is dedicated to ministering to these women, creating spaces where they can grow in confidence, develop leadership skills, and embrace their God-given talents. Through her work, she has united faith-based organizations to expand mentorship, leadership development, and spiritual growth opportunities for women across industries. 

She also highlights the biblical foundation for women in leadership, emphasizing that Jesus actively included women in His ministry. Resources like sheWorks4Him, the book she co-authored, offer real-life stories of women living out their faith at work. For those seeking church-based support, Developing Female Leaders by Kadi Cole and Ministry Chick provide encouragement for women in ministry roles. Catherine’s message is clear: Women don’t have to lead like men—they should lead as God created them, with strength, wisdom, and faith.

Ep 2080: From Ignorance to Awareness: A Path to Unity

The iWork4Him Podcast welcomes Pam Lilly, previous sheWorks4Him Podcast guest and author of The First, The Only, The Few: Why Unity in Christ is Not Always Black and White, to discuss faith, race, and overall, unity. Pam graciously shares her experience as an African American woman in many white spaces, like how her first day of kindergarten coincided with the first day of desegregation in her hometown, shaping her experiences as “the first” or “the only” in many parts of her life. 

Jim opens up the discussion admitting how he and many others have been unaware of the experiences of other races and cultures. Pam explains how faith helped her navigate these challenges and why unity in Christ is essential. She urges listeners to step outside their comfort zones, build real relationships, and embrace conversations about race without fear. She ties this to John 17, where Jesus calls for unity so “the world will know” He was sent by God – this unity is part of the Great Commission, making Him known! 

This episode is a must-listen for those seeking to move from ignorance to awareness and be part of a church that reflects the diversity of God’s kingdom. Be curious and get to know ALL of God’s beautiful works of creation – not just the ones that look and think like you.

Ep 2078: Equipped for the Other 167

In this episode of iWork4Him, Jim and Martha Brangenberg sit down with Keith Boyer of iNNOVO Coaching to discuss how the church can empower workplace believers to embrace their calling. Keith shares his personal journey, from a young business owner to a lead pastor at just 26. Despite initial challenges and doubts, Keith’s theology evolved, leading him to see the local church’s role as more than Sunday services—it’s a launch pad for believers to impact their communities during the other 167 hours of their week. 

Keith explains the difference between the gospel of salvation and the gospel of the Kingdom, highlighting how God wants to reign in every area of life—workplaces included. He emphasizes the need for churches to equip and empower believers for their unique missions in society. You’ll also hear practical strategies, like restructuring church practices and mentoring believers, to align theology with everyday life. 

Here’s Keith’s advice for listeners: pray for your pastor, build genuine relationships with them, and model kingdom-minded living in your workplace. By doing so, you can help spark a cultural shift within the Church, equipping more believers to see their work as worship.

Ep 2074: Cocoa, Candlelight, & Christ’s Love

In this special episode, hosts Jim and Martha Brangenberg share the mic with their friends Lou and Sabrina Reynolds for a heartwarming conversation about faith, family, and traditions. Sabrina reflects on her childhood Christmases in Long Island and Lou shares memories of his Jamaican heritage. Today, the Reynolds embrace a slower, intentional Christmas Eve with their kids, sipping hot chocolate and watching Christmas movies. 

It may sound cliché, but the show emphasizes the importance of keeping Jesus at the center of Christmas, encouraging moments of rest and reflection amid the season’s busyness. The Reynolds cherish Christmas Day traditions, starting with a big family breakfast and unhurried gift-opening, while Jim and Martha talk about candlelight services, Advent celebrations, and nostalgic Lifesaver-filled stockings. Together, they pray for gratitude, guidance, and family unity as they look ahead to a hopeful 2025. 

This episode reminds us that Christmas is more than gifts and traditions—it’s about celebrating Jesus, being present with loved ones, and sharing His love with others, both at home and in the workplace. Merry Christmas from iWork4Him!

Ep 2073: The CEO and the CSO

Join us on iWork4Him as we dive into an inspiring conversation with Doug Dwyer, Chief Stewarding Officer (CSO) of DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen. What’s a CSO? Doug explains how his faith led him to name God as the CEO of his company, committing to steward the business with humility, love, and excellence. From tub refinishing to full-scale kitchen and bath remodeling, DreamMaker’s mission is rooted in Proverbs and dedicated to glorifying God while delivering outstanding service. 

Doug shares how his faith journey took him from merely knowing about Jesus to making Him the Lord of his life. Through challenges like the Great Recession of 2008, downsizing, and personal struggles, Doug leaned on God’s truths, discovering that pain often paves the way for growth and innovation. He also highlights practical steps for building a Christ-centered business, including creating a values-based culture. 

With a vision to expand DreamMaker to 200 franchise locations by 2030, Doug offers advice for Christian business owners: make God the CEO of your business—in your heart and your operations. Tune in for insights on integrating faith and work, and maybe even find your calling in the DreamMaker family!

Ep 2072: The Power of Collective Prayer – at Work!

On this episode of iWork4Him, Jim and Martha Brangenberg sit down with Pam Mann, Internal Control Officer at Regent Bank, to uncover the power of prayer in the workplace. Pam shares her inspiring story of faith, from attending church solo as a child to now leading a team of 25 dedicated prayer warriors at Regent Bank. She explains how prayer is seamlessly woven into the bank’s culture, allowing employees to pray openly for coworkers, customers, and even strangers who reach out through their external prayer email. 

The episode is packed with touching stories of answered prayers and poignant moments when prayers weren’t answered as hoped but still revealed God’s presence. Pam also dives into the faith-filled culture at Regent, where support and care extend far beyond financial transactions. Whether you’re wondering if it’s “legal” to pray at work or looking for inspiration to bring your faith into your career, Pam’s testimony proves that prayer doesn’t just change lives—it transforms workplace culture. We challenge you to meditate how you can make prayer a bigger part of your workplace ministry!
