Helping Christian Working Women Connect Their Faith To Their Work
02-12-21 - New Podcast Episode Alert.png

55% of the workforce today is made up of Women. 36% of the population of the United States of America proclaim to be Born Again Believers in Jesus Christ.  That means almost 33 million working women who follow Jesus.  Many of the Christian Working Women ministries we have found are Business Owner and Leader focused. Where does the everyday Christian Working Woman go for discipleship in connecting their faith to their work and living out their calling in their workplace?  We love highlighting ministries specifically focused on the unique needs of the Christian Working Woman. Today we head off to Cincinnati, OH to talk with Kathy Book, Founder of Women in the Marketplace and Catherine Gates, executive director of Women in the Marketplace, online at www.WomeninMarketplace.net.

Kathy Book is the founder of an organization called Women in the Marketplace.  It was started out of her own need to connect her faith to her work and have other women walk alongside her in the process.  At the first of the year Kathy handed over the reigns to the new Executive Director – Catherine Gates.  Catherine has had a passion for helping Christian working women and equipping them in their work with the confidence they need in Christ. 

Catherine noted that her last 8 years as a part of Workmatters showed her that women are stymied by their preconceived notions about connecting their faith at work and also the fear of the repercussions for being a believer.  Women are looking for role models to show them what it looks like to be an authentic Christian at work.  The best way to share these role models is through story. 

Women in the Marketplace has a bible study called “Unleashed” and Catherine recently released her book “The Confidence Cornerstone”.  You can call the listener line at 866-713-9675 (866-713-WORK) to win a copy of these 2 books. 

The goal of WIM is to build community and provide resources, like the study Unleashed and book The Confidence Cornerstone to help equip women to live out their faith at work. 

On March 18, 2021, Women in the Marketplace will be hosting an event that is “obsessively inclusive” for all women in the marketplace.  Their events page has details for this CONNECT event as well as their prayer calls on Monday and Wednesday:  https://www.womeninmarketplace.net/events-1 .

To learn more about how you can get involved in WIM or start a chapter in your city – reach out to CatherineGates@WomeninMarketplace.net .

God At Rest
04-09-20 Canva Podcast Image.png

We work all day, and then we drive to soccer practice or a church event or some other community thing. The reality is that we are usually busy and tired. Today, we’re talking with Rich Marshall, the host of “God at Work” on God.TV and author of the book by the same title about his latest book: “God at Rest.”

Rich spent years teaching everyday workers about taking their ministry into their Mondays, and now he is asking can we live a life with both work and rest? According to Rich, yes! Work isn’t the opposite of rest – it is a part of our designed purpose, meant to be experienced in partnership with rest. And ultimately, rest originates with God’s presence. 

Tune in to learn more about incorporating rest into your workday through listening to God, partnering with the Holy Spirit, and intentionally inviting Jesus into your everyday tasks. 

Rich Marshall is a Contributor to Chapter 18 of The iWork4Him Field Manual.
