Did you know that many out there listening are called to be active in our political system. Politics is not just evil – it is neutral – it depends on who is the politician in order to tell whether it is leaning evil or towards good. But I digress. Today we head into the deep south eastern United States of America to talk with AJ Swinson. She felt the call on her life to be active in the political arena and in bringing truth to her African American brothers and sisters. Stay tuned to hear about how AJ is living out her faith in her work in the political arena.

The faith and work movement really started 500 years ago with The protestant reformation. About 100 years ago a guy named R G Letourneau dedicated 90% of his profits to the Lord. Stanley Tam in the 60’s gave his company to God. What’s the history of the faith and work movement and where is it at today? Join me in a conversation with Rick Boxx as we go through the history of the faith and work movement and where it’s going and how it impacts you in your work.

If you are a Christ-follower, a woman, and working - life is complicated! I may not personally know the difficulties that Christian women face in the workplace, but I have witnessed and heard about them from many women, including Martha. Today we talk with Kathy Book about some of the unique struggles facing the Christian Working Woman today and her ministry focused on addressing them: Women in the Marketplace.
Kathy was a successful career woman who believed her faith was about serving people in her off time and work was a way to make a living. It wasn't until she was 22 years in and left her corporate career that she discovered that faith and work should journey together!
Women in the Marketplace was formed out of Kathy's own desire to find mentorship, community, and a safe space to be vulnerable about the struggle of being a Christian working woman today.

Are you a leader worth following? Do you know yourself? Do you know who you are? Do you know those who work around you and why they act and respond a certain way? How would knowing yourself and knowing those you work with make it possible to bring a higher level of success in your organization?
Today we will discuss these questions with Jeff Dorman, who joins us to break down what it means to become an authentic success!
A Lutheran Pastor for over 20 years, now Jeff uses the Giant Curriculum to disciple people in the workplace to become authentic, emotionally intelligent leaders! But what IS emotional Intelligence? Emotional intelligence is all about understanding yourself and leading yourself well and then translating that to understanding other people and leading them well! And guess who had perfect emotional intelligence – Jesus!

Ever bought a lottery ticket? You hope and pray and then the Powerball numbers fly by on the screen and you lose once again. Where does that money go? How is it invested? Is playing the lottery really the best way to build wealth? Hopefully you just said no. Investing in well run businesses is the best way to grow your money and get a good return. But how will they invest the dollars you give to them? That’s what biblically responsible investing is all about.
At iWork4Him we believe that Biblically Responsible Investing is a huge win for the Kingdom of God and Luke Andrews is here to help us invest our dollars the best way, to honor God in the Process.

Jesus Said in Matthew 5:13
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.”
Joe Simonds and his Salt Strong podcast, unchurched edition, lives this out in a huge way. Joe understands that we as Christ followers in our work need to be salty – we need to be tasty – people need to be attracted to our being, because of Jesus living in us. We need to be Salt Strong because that brings out the best flavor in life and when we add flavor, we experience more of the life that God intended. Joe Simonds joins us today to interview us on why is it important for us to be able to say iWork4Him.

Sometimes the relationships in our workplace and our community go to an all new level. Sometimes God asks you to go all in with a friend to save a life. Joe Carroll felt the call to give his friend Larry Matthews one of his kidneys but after all the qualifying, it turns out Joes kidney is wired up with such complexity, the plumbing just can’t be undone. A huge disappointment for Larry and his wife Julie but also for Joe and his wife Martha. …So, Larry still needs a kidney. I understand. My friend Bill went through the same scenario. He needed a kidney and we did a show telling the world of his need. One of his good friends Bob from Canada stepped forward to donate but it didn’t work out for Bob to be able to donate either. Then God had me step in and I was given the greatest gift of my life…next to Jesus…and I got to donate my kidney to my friend Bill on 12/10/18.
This special show is all about the miracle of life and the miracle of being able to serve a friend with a body part most of us can do without. It isn’t a sacrifice to donate a kidney it is a privilege that few will experience. In this show, we are going to give you a chance to get that honor because like I said, Larry still needs a kidney donor.
