Ministry/Workplace: Ascent to Hope
Why does iWork4Him Exist, because Work Matters. Why did God give Adam and Eve work in the Garden, because Work Matters. Why are you listening to this show today, because Work Matters. Work Matters to God and your work is your ministry and the place you get to display God’s handiwork in your life. David Roth Joins us today from www.WorkMatters.org to give us an update on what they are doing to help Christ Followers like you to live out their faith in their work and to tell you about their online learning program.
David Roth had his “Sunday Christian” years for the first 20 years of his career. He felt like he was doing the right things, but had no clue about integrating his faith and his work. As new parents they decided to move near family. In their new city they were growing in their faith on Sunday and started to think about how that applied at work. Through the lives of some key influences David started seeing examples of Christians living out their faith consistently between home and work. He feels he got an MBA in faith and work through observing others.
David attended a leadership simulcast at his church where they launched Workmatters. He immediately became a volunteer and on the board. Through wise counsel they spun this ministry out of the church and God has used this stand alone ministry to reach thousands.
Fast forward to now, Workmatters is working to scale the Workmatters Institute for Young Professionals this Fall in several cities. This 12 week commitment allows attendees, physical or digital, to dig deep into their faith and develop actionable items to implement in their work. www.workmatters.org/institute
David Roth’s words to his younger self: “Don’t wait to crash and burn before you understand the beauty of work/faith integration.”

Ministry/Workplace: Value of the Person
For years we have focused on living out our faith in our work. WE have connected you to resources like ministries, websites and written materials that will aid you in your search for a deeper relationship with the Lord and His impact on your workplace ministry. In the past we have brought on David Gibbs the 3rd from the National Center for Life and Liberty to tell us about our rights in the workplace for sharing our faith and living out our Christian life in and amongst our co-workers. Today’s show takes a decidedly different turn. In the last 18 months the civil liberties of the average American citizen have been under attack. For the average Christian American Citizen, the attack has been nuclear. What should we be preparing for? How have our rights changed? What has been strengthened and reinforced and what has eroded and disappeared. David Gibbs has graciously agreed to come on once again to help us with these answers. Get you pen and paper ready, your iPad or other digital device because David is going to be giving you HUGE encouragement today along with some valuable tools and information.
One of our all-time favorite guests, David Gibbs III has a huge heart. During this past season of Covid David reminded us that we all needed to evaluate what we believed to be essential and key in our own lives. We spend some time in this interview discussing the rights for Christian Americans in general and at work. David has been involved in many discussions to help people that are in all 3 camps figure out how to best create a safe space with fairness for those affected. The 3 camps are from one extreme to the other: very fearful of death all the way to believing that Covid is a hoax and then somewhere in between. He reminded us that it really comes down to a health preference and our desire take care of our people with that in mind.
This past season has also shown us that there’s much work to do around messaging and it’s important for employees and employers to understand their rights. You can find many resources and individual help at www.NCLL.org. Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask questions.
David reminded us to use these 3 guiding principles as Christ-followers:
Have the Right Stand
Do it in the Right way
With the Right Spirit
These simple points can help us all to honor God in our actions.

It’s another exciting day here at iWork4Him as we welcome back the hosts of the new sheWorks4Him Podcast Martha Brangenberg, Catherine Gates, and Nadya Dickson. The sheWorks4Him podcast will officially launch on Labor Day, but today we get to hear one of the first interviews with Catherine Gates, Martha Brangenberg and show guest Ellie Nieves. Ellie has been a past guest on iWork4Him and her background and testimony is inspiring.
sheWorks4Him podcast is dedicated to empowering Christian working women to live out their calling at work so that the world knows sheWorks4Him. Learn more about this show at www.sheWorks4Him.com with new content every week beginning August 16, 2021. Welcome to sheWorks4Him.
Ellie Nieves had many life goals, one of which was to be an elected official. Through her work she was introduced to a Christ-follower that shared her faith, invited her to church and bible study. This interested Ellie but she just didn’t have time to fit all this Christian stuff into her lifestyle. A couple years later, Ellie revisited with this friend and was ready to commit her life to Jesus.
As an attorney, Ellie incorporates her faith in many different ways. She knows that prayer throughout her day is vital. She also finds subtle ways through a pillow on her office chair with a prayer message to inviting co-workers to attend a bible study. In addition to her day job Ellie has her “passion project”. She gets up early each morning to spend several hours writing, podcasting, and building community for women to help them in their careers. When the end of her work day rolls around, Ellie knows the power of turning off the gadgets and focusing on family.
When asked about some key elements that keep her grounded, she acknowledges the importance of the Word and prayer. Ellie is currently reading A Gentle & Quiet Spirit by Virginia Lefler. Some might be surprised that a powerful attorney would be reading to learn about her role as a wife. Ellie knows the importance of honoring her God given roles and never stops learning.

Once a quarter, we head on over to Austin Texas to hear from our wise sage, Tony Dale. Tony is a businessman, a doctor, a philanthropist and a lover of people. He has two companies that are cutting edge and Tony is here to share his perspective on how Covid is shaping the health care marketplace, what God can do through us to bring healing into the marketplace and tony will share briefly on his perspective of retirement. Tony Dale brings his faith to the forefront and all of us to our knees.
Dr. Tony Dale joins us to share some of his amazing perspectives on life. God has gifted Tony with a genuine desire for others to benefit from his love for God. During the toughest part of Covid Tony says he only had to simplify – not really pivot. God has him doing some amazing things and he just had to refine and focus but not change what he was doing. Tony’s interesting perspective showed us that there are things about ourselves that were uncovered during the past year and a half. For instance the great cost of containment on our mind, body, and soul. His new book, The Cure for Healthcare is out and available and we can’t wait to see it’s impact. Tony encourages every CEO in America to read it. We got to kick around some ideas about how business can help our country heal, too. Now there’s a concept worth diving into. Join the conversation by listening to the full interview.

It’s another exciting day here at iWork4Him as we welcome back 2 of the hosts from the brand new sheWorks4Him Podcast Martha Brangenberg and Nadya Dickson. The sheWorks4Him Podcast will officially launch on Labor Day, but today we get to hear one of the first interviews with Nadya Dickson, Martha Brangenberg and show guest Jene’ Dunn.
sheWorks4Him podcast is dedicated to empowering Christian working women to live out their calling at work so that the world knows sheWorks4Him. Learn more about this show at www.sheWorks4Him.com with new content every week beginning August 16, 2021. Welcome to sheWorks4Him.
Essential workers have faced insurmountable stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dealing with death, uncertainty, long hours, and the unknown caused 2020 to be known as the Year of the Nurse for good reason. Our guest Jene Dunn from Castle Rock, Colorado gives us an inside look at what it’s like to lead during uncertainty.
Jene was raised in a Christian home where she met Jesus at a very early age of three. With a family of pastors and missionaries, Jene knew that God was leading her into the ministry of nursing to serve in health care. She is leading several departments of a faith-based hospital as a Clinical Nurse Manager where she lives by her personal mission statement: “To allow the light of Christ to shine through me as I care for frontline associates who then care for our patients.” At work and in her home life, Jene has experienced God’s hand even during the pandemic. Her leadership has grown through a recent revelation that shedding tears in front of staff members is not only okay but validates her authenticity as she leads. This revelation was recently tested during the death of a colleague from suicide.
When asked about the difference between her family members serving in a church and Jene serving in the hospital she said they validate the fact that she is in ministry. A key to her solid foundation is study the Bible. Jene makes it a point to get in the Word daily and looks to find her wisdom for leadership from God. Jene’s husband Sean has been a guest on iWork4Him previously and is a graduate of The Master’s Program. He recently encouraged Jene’ to participate in the Master’s Program for Women, a faith based professional leadership development program for high-impact Christian women. You can find out more at: www.mastersprogramforwomen.org .
Jene encouraged our listeners to write their own personal mission statement and asked you to submit them to her at dunnjene@gmail.com.
We promised we would share the link so Jene and others could hear the past interviews with Sean Dunn about www.JesusCares.org

Coffee, It used to be a simple staple. Black, or add cream or sugar or both. But Today, a simple cup of coffee is hardly ever acceptable. It has to be on ice or whipped or frothed or sugared up. There are so many ways to have your coffee. But how do you turn serving coffee into a ministry and do it among the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Today we head off to Long Beach Island NJ. The bastion of peace and prosperity that used to be the playground of the everyday family. Long beach island is THE barrier island off New Jersey that millions flock to every summer and that hundreds of thousands call home or their beach home. Dan and Lori Malay grew up on Long Beach Island and decided to stay and make an impact right in their home community. They are here to share their story. Dan & Lori Malay with www.howyoubrewin.com
Dan and Lori Malay have a high school sweetheart story. Although they may differ on their recollection of the details, we know this – they fell in love and got married. Dan actually led Lori to a relationship with Christ early in their dating relationship. Dan’s career has had many facets, law enforcement, vocational ministry, and entrepreneur. He thought that he had “arrived” when he took a job within a church. As a business owner, Dan knows that they are just as involved in ministry in the coffee shop as he was at the church.
Lori has a huge role in ministry in the coffee shop, www.howyoubrewin.com. She knows that the customers and staff deal with many issues daily, and they never know how God will use a smile, a kind word, or deeper conversation to draw others to Him.
Dan and Lori have started a coffee shop, acquired an existing one, and rebranded their business into one name, “How you Brewin.” Being involved in the coffee industry, they have learned the value of building relationships with the regulars and getting to know their heart in the process. Dan and Lori continue to grow in Christ and see how that has led them to be very people-focused and invest in their staff. Dan pointed out that they start with real training around their core values and mission before the team ever learns to make a coffee. They emphasized that they begin with trust and tell the employees that trust is critical in their relationships at work.
Fun fact, this interview came about due to a couple of employees from How you brewin’. Grant and Grace Carvin have been lifelong friends of ours and told us about how Dan and Lori live out their faith in their business. But the Malay’s don’t make it a practice only to hire Christians. They know that their staff is their mission field as well as the customers. They may get calls or texts about complex circumstances in their employees’ lives throughout any given day. What a privilege to be able to walk beside their staff and counsel them from a biblical perspective.
Teaching their staff to execute with excellence, gratitude, kindness, and integrity are just a few ways to learn to represent the heart of Jesus. We didn’t get to mention it on the air, but the Malays offer a weekly staff Bible study that is a safe place to come and ask questions and for them to invest personally in each other.
Being an entrepreneurial couple is hard. When we asked Dan and Lori how they protect their marriage from their business and vice versa, they were refreshingly honest. It’s hard, and they need to be better at it. It’s trying to figure our balance versus integration. Dan and Lori, you are humble servants using coffee and business as a way to be a light to the world. Thank you for serving so well.
