Prayer. Does it really make a difference? Does gathering as a nation to pray on a single day a year change our trajectory? Some would say no, some would say yes, God would say that all prayer matters. He loves hearing from you. The National day of prayer was established to unite our nation in prayer. The National Day of prayer task force has been led by many and now it is led by Kathy Branzell, longtime friend of iWork4Him because of her involvement in the Love2020 movement. Kathy is here today to kick off the 2021 preparations for the National Day of prayer on 5/6/21. Kathy will give us the skinny and help us to prepare our workplaces for prayer every day.

Everybody has a story of how they first met Jesus and every one of those stories is different. Not wrong just different. When Jon Dengler was last on our show, we opened up the show with Queen’s song “Bicycle Race” and then he blew the minds of most Christ-followers when he said these words. I met Jesus on an LSD trip. I started reading my Bible and it said that I was supposed to minister unto the least of these. So I started hanging out with homeless people. It wasn’t until later that I realized that Christians don’t really do that sort of thing.  Its been 4 years since that show and Jon Dengler has grown a Biznistry out of helping folks in need of transportation learn how to fix bikes…and so much more.

There is a destructive force in this world. It has a name and a leader. That leader is the father of lies…and you know what he loves for you to do? He loves for you to believe the lies he tells you about your self and about others.  How do you combat the lies you believe and I believe about ourselves and others? With God’s hope and the transformational truth of Jesus.  But can you do this in a workplace?  Can Truth and Hope be brought to a workplace to bring healing and build community?  KP Lovejoy joins us today to shed some light on this subject by sharing the truth’s she has learned.

Before our guest surrendered his life to God, his marriage was a ticking time bomb, only salvageable by divine intervention. His business was his idol, and he felt immense pressure to run others over with it. He was a walking ball of fear, which manifested itself as uncontrolled anger. But Christ changed all that, granting our guest the peace he had not realized was possible. Dedicating his life and his business to God didn’t take away all of his problems. Keeping his new restaurant, Peter D’s, and running the family business Demos Brands was incredibly challenging and was the source of some of his biggest business failures. But God used those failures to draw Peter Demos to Himself and make Peter more like Him. Learning to trust God to lead him through it all has turned those difficulties into growth and blessing in Peter’s life.

When you are out in the Marketplace, you may notice something, a change. When I first entered the marketplace, Christians didn’t make themselves known. With one exception. In MPLS where I grew up, there was a trend for people to use Christianity as an inroad to close business deals. However, most of the people who did that were people you wouldn’t want to do business with. 34 years later, that is changing on a large scale.  People don’t claim to be Christians unless they really are. And the real Christians in the marketplace rarely use Jesus to sell something, it is Jesus in them that attracts people to buy from the Christian business person.  That is a remarkable change. How did it happen, it started with guys like Howard Oakes from Garden Grove, California. He saw a need for discipleship for Christian Small business owners. Instead of asking his church pastor to do it, he started Christian Network Groups. Lets hear the story from Howard Himself.

Jesus said we were to become fishers of men.  Did he mean that literally? I don’t know but I think so but fishing.  Some people take their passion and their calling and they mesh up perfecting and “Bam” everything falls into place. For the rest of us, it is a  rocky road for 15 or 20 years until we find our God given sweet spot.  Our guest today grew up in the swampy areas of Florida.  He grew up loving fresh water and salt water, both for recreation and for fishing.  He was wildly successful in the insurance world and now is wildly successful in the fishing world. Fishing for men, you bet, the unchurched kind. www.SaltStrong.com  is his Biznistry and Joe Simonds is his name.
