It’s Time for a Revolution

Dr. Jessica Rothmeyer is a born encourager. In fact, she was the person everyone went to for help fixing their issues. As a counselor, Jess often saw that people would get discouraged and not only walk away from their healing, but also their faith. Her recent book, It’s time for a Revolution, is an answer for practitioners to cast out the worldly teaching of today and realign their thinking with a new, healthier way of thinking – the Kingdom mindset.

In today’s show, Jessica boils it all down to two practical steps:

1. Read the Word of God 

2. Grow an intimate relationship with God 

We all have areas that need healing and Dr. Jessica is offering our listeners the chance to win a copy of her new book by calling 866-713-9675. Plus, receive 50% off her online course, Healing the Wounds of the Soul, by entering the code iWork4Him

How to Serve God Well in the Margins

When asked about what keeps his faith centered on a day-to-day basis, Dr. Arthur Satterwhite, the VP of Diversity, Belonging, and Strategy for Young Life will tell you that it’s been “back to basics” for him recently. He has been redeeming his margin and spending time on the core elements of his faith. And this doesn’t extend only to his own life; Arthur’s goal in his profession is always to go back to the basics of what Young Life was founded on 80 years ago: introducing kids to Jesus.

In this special interview from the CLA Outcomes Conference, Arthur talks about how policy doesn’t change the heart; only God can. As well as how adding margin to our everyday life gives us the opportunity to stop and serve where God needs us. After all, Jesus left the 99 to serve the one, and so should we.

The Faith Driven Entrepreneur

For years God has been using Henry Kaestner to help entrepreneurs understand God’s unique plan and purpose for them. Now, all that knowledge is available in his new book, Faith Driven Entrepreneur. In today’s show, we talk with Henry about his own journey in faith and business, balancing family and work, and his book!

Often, new Christians look at being saved as limiting them in their work – feeling that they should go into full-time ministry if they want to make a Kingdom impact. But today, Henry talks with us about flipping the script. In fact, there are several great examples in the Bible of entrepreneurs, like Lydia and Paul the tentmaker. Join us as we talk about how to apply the same principles to our business and life today! Henry has a great heart and shares so much in our interview and his new book.
