The iWork4Him Book: Change the Way You Think About Your Faith At Work

About a year and a half ago, we set off on a journey to write a book that would encourage the everyday believer to engage with their workplace mission field. But we had NO IDEA how enormous that undertaking would be –thankfully, we didn’t do it alone! In addition to our own stories and insights, we opened the door for 23 other voices from the faith and work movement to share their stories as well. This unique collaboration resulted in an incredible resource, filled with the practical, tactical, factual, and biblical insights that every workplace believer needs to truly live out their faith at work.  

Since our roots are in radio and podcasting, we are especially excited about this audiobook version of iWork4Him! Each chapter is read by its contributing author – so you get the chance not only to hear new perspectives but also the new voices that go along with them. As our Gift to you, we are releasing the audio from the Introduction and first chapter on our podcast so you can get a feel for the content inside iWork4Him: Change the way you think about your faith at work. To listen to the rest of the audiobook CLICK HERE or go to Amazon.com. To get a hard copy of iWork4Him or our other two books, sheWorks4Him and iRetire4Him, go to iWork4Him.com/bookstore.

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.

Finding Your True Home

We scour the country for stories of people living out their faith in a noticeable and attractive way in the marketplace, and today we have just such a story. Joe Kallis tells us about how he went from a success-driven big city big shot to a Gospel-driven realtor in Tennessee. Joe’s story starts like many career-driven individuals: the pursuit of success and money. But by God’s grace, he found himself surrounded by some excellent businessmen that modeled a different way of life.

Tune in to hear more of Joe’s personal journey towards people over profit and to hear our discussion on slowing down to speed up. It’s a show full of so many great nuggets of truth that are applicable to each of us, no matter what industry or workplace we find ourselves in!

Poodles and Wolverines - Part II
121421 PowerPod.png

In part two of this PowerPod, we talk with one of the most expensive consultants and social media experts in the world - Perry Marshall.  A pastor’s kid and nephew of missionaries, Perry grew up around ministry and felt the pressure placed on many Christians to go into the church full-time. However, he says he never felt called to work in the church, a place he felt was full of “poodles”; rather, he felt called to go out and be a “wolverine” in the competitive world of business. Tune in as we discuss going BIG, taking risks, holy discontent, and using success and influence for the glory of God! You aren’t going to want to miss it!
