Perry Marshall is an engineer, yet his most recent book on prayer, Memos from the Head Office, is anything but engineered. Perry says that we have excessively and obsessively formulated our time with God. In the book, he encourages us to look at this time in a fresh and unconventional way, working to remove any roadblocks that might cause the reader to disengage from spiritual things.
God intersected Perry’s life in a dramatic way. When a stranger named Vivian told him a message from God about him, and it was true – God had his attention. In Memos from the Head Office, Perry shares other, similar, miraculous stories of God’s intervention in people’s work lives. Plus, in the book’s appendix, Perry presents one of the most straightforward and gentle presentations of the Gospel that we’ve ever seen. In fact, that might be the best reason to buy the book. We are giving away a free copy of Memos from the Head Office. To win, call the listener line at 866-713-9675(WORK).

We all like to go on vacation. Everyone likes to get away, relax, explore, and check out from the real world for a few days. But what if your vacation moments turned into defining moments – the kind that makes you go home not only renewed in body but also in spirit? What if everywhere you went, you learned how God had woven the story of the Gospel into that location? Today we talk with travel enthusiasts Rick and Susan McCarthy about their book Defining Moments: The Transformational Promises of Faith-Based Travel.
Rick and Susan have an insatiable love for travel! After attending a DreamMasters weekend through the Masters Program, God gave them a unique dream for their marriage: to change travel and vacationing into a spiritually rich experience. In this episode, we talk with Rick and Susan about how their book is helping people have a rich Holy Spirit experience while touring places from Scripture.

Some women are constantly dreaming big dreams and others are so busy helping others dream that they forget that God has placed dreams inside of them too. Nadya Dickson, the International Director of the Masters Program for Women, joins us today to talk about taking the time to dream big. Just recently, Nadya hosted a retreat for her members entitled “Wake up, Wake up, Deborah from Judges 4 & 5” a retreat that centered on waking up, rising up, gathering up, and dreaming up.
Plus, we hear from retreat attendees Kim Levings with ReThink You and Sharon Lee from Carolina NonProfit Solutions about how Jesus has disrupted their lives (and businesses) for their good and His glory through this retreat and their time in The Masters Program for Women. If you’ve ever had a dream that got sidelined… you won’t want to miss this show!

Have you ever struggled with time management? With overcommitment? Or with feeling like you’re juggling too many things at once? Today we head off to Chicago, IL to talk with Mark Michuda of Michuda Diversified Holdings about how he went from a life riddled with overcommitment and stress to one characterized by peace and margin. Tune in to hear about how Mark turned his life around, and how you can too!
Mark’s life (and his relationship with God) has taken a lot of detours, but when he agreed to go on a yearlong journey to look for growth and meaning with his wife, everything changed. They found a church that led Mark to a personal relationship with Jesus that has permeated every area of his life, including his more than 100-year-old family business.
Over time, Mark learned from the Experiencing God Bible Study that God is at work everywhere, including as his work. But a barrier to Mark giving his best at work was the stress of overcommitment and time management. Through an amazing series of events, he was connected to Belay Solutions where he was matched with Yassi, his executive assistant. You’ll have to listen to the interview to hear how much this has changed his life! Full of wisdom and insight, Mark Michuda has shared his journey for all of us to dig deeper into our own need for solutions.
We are grateful for our show sponsor: Belay Solutions, and the impact they have had on Mark Michuda personally and his company. Mark named Yassi as his MVP – a testament in itself!

It wasn’t until his life hit rock-bottom that he finally gave every aspect of his life, including his career, to God, and it changed everything! In this bonus interview, Bob discusses what it means to strive to abide rather than strive for success and the fantastic networking opportunities available through Ambassadors for Business, Thrive Groups, and G7 Network.
Bob Willbanks is a contributing author to Chapter 26 of our new book, iWork4Him: Change the Way you Think About Faith and Work.

Our good friend from Inspire Advisors is back, and he has a transformational story to share. When we started iWork4Him 8 ½ years ago, Luke Andrews asked to be a part of what we were doing. Little did he know how God would use that decision to help change the trajectory of his life. Luke is here today to talk with us not only about Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) but also how God, a book, and a radio show, changed his heart and his business model.
If you sense a change on the wind in your own life, you won’t want to miss this episode on transitions and trust and how BRI can shift the war on Christianity in America today.
