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!

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.

The sheWorks4Him Book: Embrace Your Calling as a Christian Woman at Work

About a year and a half ago, we set off on a journey to write a collaborative resource for Christian women in the workplace. Over the last eight years of being on-air interviewing workplace believers – we heard so many stories coming from women of faith who love to work outside the home and be a part of the marketplace but felt second-place in the Kingdom. This should never be! So, that kicked off a year and a half long journey of Martha and me to create a collaborative resource that would encourage every Christian working woman.  

sheWorks4Him was written to celebrate, validate, encourage, and equip women in the workplace to vibrantly live out their faith in every area of life! In addition to myself, we invited 19 other women of faith to contribute their own inspiring stories of activating their workplace mission field. The audiobook version of sheWorks4Him is especially exciting – as each chapter is read by its contributing author!  

As our Gift to you, we are releasing the audio from the Introduction and first chapter on our podcast so you can get a feel for the content inside sheWorks4Him: Embrace your calling as a Christian woman at work. To listen to the rest of the audiobook CLICK HERE or go to Amazon.com. To get a hard copy of sheWorks4Him or our other two books, iWork4Him and iRetire4Him, go to iWork4Him.com/bookstore.

Bonus Interview With sheWorks4Him Author Ellie Nieves

When Ellie was an attorney on her way up the corporate ladder, she thought that God would only get in the way of her aspirations. But as her career grew, she found that all her achievements were empty; she was missing a greater purpose or meaning – the kind that only God can fill. When we believe that our job or title or perceived success is our purpose, we are short-changing ourselves – because God has more in store for us. Moreover, our jobs are only one aspect of our lives that God wants to use to make an eternal impact. In this bonus interview, Ellie talks with us about what it looks like to glorify the Lord in the context of a Fortune 250 company, battling anxiety and fear in the face of the unexpected, and the two most important things to successfully living out your faith at work.
