Ep 2056: Fiction, the Stealth Evangelist

Welcome to iWork4Him, your go-to podcast for sharing stories and encouragement of believers working with God, hosted by Jim and Martha Brangenberg. Today, we dive into the fascinating world of superheroes and faith with special guest, author Steven Thomas. Inspired by his own faith journey, he wrote Catholic Joe Superhero, a thrilling 500-page novel about a Jesus-following superhero.

Steven recounts his “working with God” journey, emphasizing how his faith has guided his varied career. His book Catholic Joe Superhero is not just an action-packed story but a testament to strong, faith-driven masculinity and the importance of marriage, reflecting Steven's personal experiences and convictions.

Ep 2055: A Supernatural Journey in the Marketplace

Being a daily partner with God looks different than simply asking Him to bless our work. Bill Hollis, the founder of Ruach Ministries in Johannesburg, South Africa, takes us through his fascinating journey to faith, sparked by God surrounding him with Christian colleagues and an intriguing book on near-death experiences. This newfound faith shifted his worldview, transforming his workplace into a mission field.

Bill’s career took many twists and turns, guided by faith, divine nudges, and lessons learned. He stresses the value of partnering with fellow believers and explains the difference between Christian businesses and Kingdom businesses, where Jesus is the CEO. His upcoming book, A Supernatural Journey in the Marketplace: Money, Marketplace, and God, offers his unedited life stories and practical advice for running a Kingdom-focused organization. Bill wants you to see your workplace as mission field and to collaborate with God in all business ventures.

The “takeaway” Bill wants you to remember: Make your requests known to God. He’s faithful to hear us!

This episode also features shout-outs to world-changing sponsors like Patriot Mobile and SaferNet VPN, champions of conservative values and top-notch service. Let’s commit to aligning our money with our values!

Ep 2054: Be a Catalyst of “With”

Let's discuss the transformative concept of "working with God" rather than just "working for God." Host Jim Brangenberg highlights that while "iWork4Him" has been a longstanding statement of faith, there’s a deeper shift needed. We’re glad to welcome back Shae Bynes to the show, who shares her journey of understanding this shift.

Shae recounts a pivotal moment 12 years ago when she realized the importance of working with God, inspired by Matthew 11:28-30. This approach goes beyond traditional achievement-driven faith, advocating for a more intimate and collaborative relationship with God. Shae explains that cultivating this relationship involves engaging God in everyday decisions and seeking His guidance in all aspects of life, from work to personal matters.

Moving from a "working for God" mindset to a "working with God" mindset can revolutionize how you live out their faith as a believer. Shae concludes by urging listeners to embrace this shift as a fundamental aspect of their calling, aiming to fully embody and express God's presence in their daily lives. Start small, including God in some area of your life you’ve never invited Him into before.

We partner with incredible Kingdom-driven sponsors who make this show possible, like SaferNet, a VPN, antivirus, web filters, and internet controls to keep you, your loved ones, and even your workforce safe on their devices. Patriot Mobile is another company you should be investing in! As America’s only Christian conservative mobile service provider, you can support faith, family, and freedom while receiving top-notch service. Finally, for any payment processing needs you have, check out ePaymints who is Kingdom-focused and led by amazing Christian working women.

Ep 2053: What’s Up (and Down) with the Brangenbergs?

The iWork4Him Podcast is dedicated to bringing you inspiring and encouraging stories of workplace believers around the world, but today we’re taking some time to hear from Jim and Martha about what’s been going on in their lives this year and what future plans God is ushering them into. It’s been a tough 2024 – the loss of multiple friends, various struggles with family health, and the upheaval of their “empty nester” lifestyle. Jim and Martha are learning a lot about the power of prayer and “leaning not on their own understanding.”

Even with the bad, there’s always many things to be thankful for. As they continue to reflect, fun but challenging DIY projects, faith and work events, opportunities in their small town of Marionville, and exciting new podcasts are brought up in the conversation. What are they most looking forward to? What God has in store for iWork4Him, of course! He’s been guiding the Brangenbergs in the Shift to With movement – where workplace believers start working intimately with God instead of just for Him. A new book announcement was also made! Keep tuning in to hear more about the importance of strengthening your marriage and be on the lookout next year for Get the Hell Out of Your Marriage to be released.

Events and resources mentioned in the show:

US Christian Chamber of Commerce – you can become a member!

94X Summit taking place in Tulsa, OK, October 1st (hear from 94X Founder, Sean Kouplen)

Ep 2052: The Word at Work

Miranda Carls shows us the need for faith and work fellowship and connection no matter where we live or what we do. She shares her faith journey, highlighting how her early Christian upbringing shaped her to be a committed Christian instead of nominal one and discusses her passion for people development and how it aligns with her mission to support Christians in the workplace.

You’ll get introduced to her book and podcast, The Word at Work, resources that help Christian professionals be… the Word at work! You’ll also hear about the upcoming Gateway Faith and Work event on September 7th, a symposium aimed to equip Christians for workplace excellence, faithful living, and community building. Miranda emphasizes the need for collaboration among local churches and ministries to foster a unified Christian presence in St. Louis workplaces.

You can get more information and register for the September 7th event at GatewayFaithandWork.com. And we want to make sure you’re able to really apply her 3 takeaways:

Make time to fellowship with another believer, sharing workplace and life challenges.
Have focused time with Jesus Monday thru Friday.
Grow in your understanding of how work outside of church walls can grow the Kingdom.

Ep 2051: Work – an Extension of Your Faith

It must be hard living out your faith at work when your job is at Microsoft, right? Well, Lori Kim tells us about all the resources and reasons she’s able to be a bright light for Christ there! Her journey starts as an immigrant and pastor's kid, facing cultural and language barriers while striving for perfection. During a challenging period of loss, including her father's battle with cancer and her own job loss, Lori experienced a profound faith transformation. Through prayer and a new perspective, she began to see her work as a mighty extension of her faith.

At Microsoft, Lori is active in a Christian employee community group called Marketplace Ministry for Microsoft (MMFM), engaging in weekly Bible studies, prayer meetings and wisdom discussion groups that foster community and spiritual growth. She also serves with the Chicago Faith & Work Movement and the Religious Freedom & Business Foundation. Listeners – and especially Christian working women – are left with Lori’s 3 pieces of sage advice:

Embrace all that God made you to be.
No matter the situation, keep praying!
Bless yourself with sacred rhythms of rest.

Ep 2049: Creation Requires a Creator

Welcome back to the second part of Nick Cinelli’s iWork4Him interview! Nick recaps his story and answers more questions regarding the 2+ years of research he completed, finding many facets of science just don’t seem to measure up. Research that began with trying to prove his then girlfriend Sue wrong about the Bible led Nick to compelling evidence that supported the biblical account of creation over the theory of evolution. This shift was pivotal, leading him to embrace Christianity and ultimately marry Sue, despite initial conflicts in their beliefs.

Nick explains how his scientific inquiry led him to conclude that a Creator is essential for the existence of life, making atheistic views illogical. He discusses how Jesus’ claims and resurrection set Christianity apart from other religions. Through his journey, Nick found deeper respect and connection with Sue, as they continue to grow in their faith together. He remains hopeful that more scientists will recognize the evidence for Creation. Nick’s story is a testament to the transformative power of love, faith, and the relentless pursuit of Truth.

Ep 2048: Where Science Falls Short

In this special 2-part iWork4Him interview, Jim interviews Nick Cinelli, a phenomenal salesperson and tremendous networker. Nick shares his transformative journey from a staunch believer in science to a devout follower of Jesus. Initially dismissive of God, Nick's perspective shifts after meeting Sue, a believer, at a dance club. Motivated to prove Sue wrong, Nick dives into scientific research, only to find inconsistencies and mistakes at every corner. This quest leads him to question the reliability of science compared to the consistent message of the Bible.

Nick's findings reveal that there are many scientists that actually reject evolution, favoring creationism instead. Through this process, Nick transitioned from atheism to faith in Christ, discovering that the Bible offers explanations where science falls short. The episode concludes with a tease for the next part of Nick's story, promising more insights into his research and faith journey. Tune in to part 1, and get ready for part 2 next week!
