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!

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!

Jim and Martha Brangenberg dive into the heart of faith and work, joined by Colin Ferreira, author of the book Disrupting Religion. Together, they challenge the norms of modern Christianity, questioning whether Jesus intended to create a religion or disrupt it entirely. Colin shares his journey from wild living to radical faith, sparked by a Ponzi scheme and a divine wake-up call. 

Colin emphasizes that Christianity isn’t about rules, buildings, or organizations—it’s about sonship and a relationship with God as our Father. He unpacks how modern Christianity often loses sight of this, becoming focused on activity rather than identity. The conversation explores intriguing metaphors for the Church: the battleship, the cruise ship, and even the pirate ship. Are we projecting God’s power, keeping passengers comfortable, or chasing treasures through illegitimate means? 

This episode is PACKED with thought-provoking insights about faith, marketplace ministry, and the need to break free from "religion" to embrace true freedom in Christ. Don’t miss Colin’s bold take on the importance of obedience, faith, and the role of the Father in our daily lives. Grab his book at DisruptingReligionBook.com or on Amazon to dig deeper!

This Thanksgiving, Jim and Martha Brangenberg serve up a feast of gratitude, laughter, and heartfelt reflections. In this episode, they share hilarious holiday mishaps (like a kid sneaking way too much butter), cherished family traditions, and the transformative power of thankfulness. With Scripture as their guide, they unpack how gratitude can shift our mindset, deepen relationships, and even make workplaces more joyful. 

You’ll hear practical tips for sparking meaningful conversations around the dinner table, embracing imperfection (because no one remembers the “perfect” meal), and savoring the moments that truly matter. The Brangenbergs remind us that thankfulness isn’t just a holiday feeling—it’s a daily practice that keeps us grounded in God’s goodness.

In this episode, we talk with Andy Galpin, a mission-driven entrepreneur focused on preserving Kingdom culture in businesses. Jim opens with a story of a business owner who prioritized profit over culture when selling his company—leading to a quick erosion of his values-driven workplace. While the interview focuses on Andy’s current work, you’ll also get a quick look at Andy’s background and what steered him toward his present business ventures.  

Through his company, Tree and Leaf Partners, Andy now looks for thriving businesses to acquire, ensuring their cultures endure even when owners step out of the picture. Inspired by his experiences at IBM, Andy believes that leaders set the cultural tone, making it critical to have mission-aligned leadership at the top. He follows the “Redemptive Business Framework,” emphasizing a model beyond profit, where businesses actively contribute to the common good and Kingdom advancement. 

Andy dreams of an ecosystem where Kingdom-led companies mentor young Christians, shaping a new generation of values-based leaders. His appeal is clear: business owners, don’t let the highest bid compromise your mission—let’s build legacies that last!
