When we lose our job, it’s terrifying. Finding a new job is daunting. Who do we turn to? Jesus can be our job search partner and Glenn Inn is here to tell us about his brand new eBook called I Lost My Job: Heaven Help Me. Join us as Glenn Inn shares just a little about his book, which you can download for free at www.JobSearchwithJesus.com
After 22 years in high-tech, Glenn found himself in a job transition. As he spoke with other job seekers, he observed a lot of successful but broken people. It wasn’t long before God challenged him to write a book about unemployment, I Lost My Job: Heaven Help Me. In it, Glenn tells people that its okay to grieve the loss of a job, but also challenges them to see themselves as God sees them: as more than the title on their business card. So whether you were laid off, downsized, let go, or are simply seeking out a refreshed sense of purpose in your work, Glenn’s book will help you understand God’s will for you in this season of transition.
I Lost My Job: Heaven Help Me can be downloaded for free at www.JobSearchwithJesus.com . Please share this with your friends that may be looking for jobs. This book will help them make a great transition and be a better person in the process!

YOU’RE FIRED! YOU’RE LAID OFF! WE ARE CLOSING THE PLANT – HERE IS YOUR PINK SLIP! These statements cast fear into our lives in the forms of a tidal wave of emotion. You start to be riddled with questions that seem to have no answers. How will I feed myself? How will I pay my bills? How will I find another job? Why me? It is a freeway to depression and discouragement. But wait - God promises to never leave us or forsake us and in Isaiah he says,
“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you” – Isaiah 43:2
So where can I find out how to find a job in half the time it usually takes? George C. Murray has the answer in his new book Hired. George is here to tell his story and share some of the answers on what to do when you find yourself out of a job and looking for work.
George lost his job not once, but twice. These unexpected career transitions were a shock to his system and stretched his faith, but he realized some important things along the way. While praying and listening to God’s voice in the midst of his job transition, George felt led to write down a roadmap for cutting the career search time in half in his book, Hired.
George’s book is for the newly unemployed or for anyone struggling in their unemployment. Losing a job is hard, but George says some simple, important steps need to happen right away to optimize your opportunities. 1. You need energy, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude. 2. You are the CEO of you. 3. Assemble a personal board of advisors.
In his book, Hired, George also talks about his morning routine and tips for taking care of yourself in the midst of your job transition. He outlines a “day in a life” structure to help you maintain a high level of performance and momentum in the midst of your unstructured time. Remember, your career transition is an opportunity to evaluate your values, purpose, and make positive personal changes.
If you know someone who is on a job search or you yourself are in that place now, get a copy of Hired: cut your career search time in half by George Claystin Murray and use this roadmap to turn your career search into a great experience!
Two copies of the book Hired are available by calling the iWork4Him listener line at 866-713-9675 or you can get it online at www.GeorgeClaystinMurray.com It’s never too late to take the next step in the process towards a new job / career. iWork4Him is happy to present this opportunity to you and learn to focus on what is ahead for you.

We had the chance to chat with Ryan Haley today about his story of going from the Navy, to real estate, to mobile marketing, to creating his own podcast ministry – A Better Way.
While we were prepping for today’s show, Ryan said, “our lives should demand a supernatural explanation.” Wow, just think about that for a moment! God can do more in one minute than we can do in a lifetime of striving on our own; He can put in place things that we couldn’t possibly do because Jesus offers us new, supernaturally powered way to live… A Better Way.
Dive into this podcast with us and learn what exactly this means – and how its meaning is life altering.
Ryan Haley is a Contributor to Chapter 25 of The iWork4Him Field Manual.

We closed out the work week with Donna Clute from New Life Solutions and a show centered around the premise of Wayne Grudem’s book, Business for the Glory of God.
Can be business be done for God’s Glory? Or is it morally neutral? (hint, hint… its NOT). If we take the perspective that life was created originally by God to be good, then we need to apply that across all areas of life - including how we do business. Today we talk about how to make work worship… rather than worshiping work.
