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

When we started iWork4Him on 4/15/13 we thought we were going to be just a radio show but God has done so much more. Tens of Thousands of people have been touched by the almost 2000 radio shows and podcasts and are daily being encouraged by the ministries we have connected them to on our podcasts. What an honor it has been for Martha and I to talk and walk alongside you in this mission to transform the workplace of every Christian into a mission field by transforming the way they think about their faith and work. In January of 2020 we embarked on what we thought would be a 7 or 8 month journey that is culminating now 18 months later. God told us to write a series of books to your our every day listeners to give you the practical tactical, factual and biblical ways of living out your faith in your work. Not just 1 book but 3.

55% of the workforce today is made up of Women. 36% of the population of the United States of America proclaim to be Born Again Believers in Jesus Christ.  That means almost 33 million working women who follow Jesus.  Where do they go for specific discipleship in connecting their faith to their work and living out their calling in their workplace?  There are more and more ministries popping up around the United States specifically focused on the unique needs of the Christian Working Woman. Today we head off to Charlotte NC to talk with Nadya Dickson, National and International Director of The Master’s Program for Women, online at www.TheMastersProgramforWomen.org

Nadya Dickson came from a loving home but it wasn’t until her time at University that she met Jesus.  Over the years she has learned that “practice makes progress”.  This eventually led her to participate in The Masters Program for Women.  During her time of participation as a student in her cohort she was able to write her life mission statement.  She was surprised to discover that helping women was a part of that mission.  She usually found herself resisting women centered activities, especially in her home where she is the only female.  Her mission statement begins “To unleash women to walk in fullness of Christ….”  Wow, what a statement.  After participating as a student, she became a coach and is now the National and International Director for The Masters Program for Women. 

Their 3-year program has a total of 12 full day sessions with a 12-woman cohort, and several individual coaching opportunities to really learn from The Master and create a life mission.  You can find out all of the details at www.themastersprogramforwomen.org . Nadya shared about the opportunity for listeners to attend a 1-hour briefing to decide if this might be your next steps in growth. 

Nadya told us a story about a graduate who has created www.Fashionandcompassion.com and is continuing to help other women grow through this opportunity.  TMPW is idea for women in leadership that want to steward their influence, understand their calling or in a place of preparing or entering transition.

55% of the workforce today is made up of Women. 36% of the population of the United States of America proclaim to be Born Again Believers in Jesus Christ.  That means almost 33 million working women who follow Jesus.  Many of the Christian Working Women ministries we have found are Business Owner and Leader focused. Where does the everyday Christian Working Woman go for discipleship in connecting their faith to their work and living out their calling in their workplace?  We love highlighting ministries specifically focused on the unique needs of the Christian Working Woman. Today we head off to Cincinnati, OH to talk with Kathy Book, Founder of Women in the Marketplace and Catherine Gates, executive director of Women in the Marketplace, online at www.WomeninMarketplace.net.

Kathy Book is the founder of an organization called Women in the Marketplace.  It was started out of her own need to connect her faith to her work and have other women walk alongside her in the process.  At the first of the year Kathy handed over the reigns to the new Executive Director – Catherine Gates.  Catherine has had a passion for helping Christian working women and equipping them in their work with the confidence they need in Christ. 

Catherine noted that her last 8 years as a part of Workmatters showed her that women are stymied by their preconceived notions about connecting their faith at work and also the fear of the repercussions for being a believer.  Women are looking for role models to show them what it looks like to be an authentic Christian at work.  The best way to share these role models is through story. 

Women in the Marketplace has a bible study called “Unleashed” and Catherine recently released her book “The Confidence Cornerstone”.  You can call the listener line at 866-713-9675 (866-713-WORK) to win a copy of these 2 books. 

The goal of WIM is to build community and provide resources, like the study Unleashed and book The Confidence Cornerstone to help equip women to live out their faith at work. 

On March 18, 2021, Women in the Marketplace will be hosting an event that is “obsessively inclusive” for all women in the marketplace.  Their events page has details for this CONNECT event as well as their prayer calls on Monday and Wednesday:  https://www.womeninmarketplace.net/events-1 .

To learn more about how you can get involved in WIM or start a chapter in your city – reach out to CatherineGates@WomeninMarketplace.net .

Remember to call 866-713-WORK to win a copy of the books provided by WIM.

For our listeners who are ladies and for the men who listen who are attached to a lady this show is for you. If you work with women or have friends who are women, then this show is for you. For 8 years iWork4Him has been scouring across the nation trying to identify faith and work ministries focused on the Christian Working Woman. There is such a need for encouragement and equipping of the Christian Working Women audience we even started a brand to pull all the voices we find under one umbrella on our Awaken Podcast Network. It is under the SheWorks4Him tab. Now amazingly enough, about a year ago I discovered a ministry that is called SheWorksHisWay.com. Today we are going to introduce you to Michelle Myers, one of the founders of the SheWorksHisWay ministry which is dedicated to equipping, encouraging, and connecting working women putting Jesus First in her heart, home and work.

Michelle was an approval junkie.  She encouraged our listeners to shorten their approval list and aim to live approved!

When she realized that there was no sin she was not capable of, Michelle invited a few close friends to meet weekly and share in accountability by asking hard questions.  18 months later she works His way was born.  They built community around the content and strive to be the best business expense each month for their members.  As a new member you will be encouraged to calm the overwhelm and realize that life balance is a sham.  Most women experience relief to hear that the lies to they hear all day from the world can be overcome.  In January 2021 they will be adding workshops to their calendar.  January’s theme is around having Godly goals for ambition.  Visit www.SheWorksHisWay.com/freeclass  to sit in on a free class and determine if membership is right for you.

On September 3, 2013, I heard from God; I heard from Him three things that resulted in the mission of iWork4Him. This revelation came after six months of studying Identity and Destiny. Back then it was a workbook study that I went through alone, and then Martha went through it. Now, Identity and Destiny has gone international and our guest today is going to tell us about how you can get involved in what I call the “Bible Study workbook that every Christian around the world should be required to experience”.  Wendie Klem is the Regional Director for The Nehemiah Project in North America and she is leading Identity and Destiny Classes for Women in Business. We can’t wait to hear more about the online launch of Identity and Destiny.

What do you do when you are fed up with the higher education opportunities that are available for a field you are passionate about? You start your own higher learning platform. Sarah Sumner did just that.

After having served for 17 years as a seminary dean (A.W. Tozer Theological Seminary), chair of ministry (Azusa Pacific University) and church staff (Willow Creek Community Church; New Song Church), and having walked with the Lord since age 3, Sarah established a brand new business model, assembled a top-tier team, and developed a Culture Chart to encode the DNA of Right On Mission.  Right on Mission is a new business model for Christian higher education that teaches ministry-minded believers, including those in the marketplace, how to live Right “On Mission.”
