Business and poverty may seem like opposites, but is there a deeper connection between the two? Find out in part two of this PowerPod with Dr. E. Calvin Beisner and Ephie Johnson from “Neighborhood Christian Centers.” All throughout Scripture we see Jesus’ care for the poor and impoverished, a compassionate calling that is still on us as Christ-followers today.

Retirement isn’t in the Bible. True story! We were never meant to work for 30 years and then go on a 30-year vacation. Instead, God’s intention is that we would have a purpose throughout our entire life. In other words, retirement isn’t VACATION; it’s a JOB CHANGE. In this bonus interview with our personal mentor, Bob Spence, we talk about intentional retirement, ministering in the second half of life, and cultivating a mission, vision, purpose, and core values.

Bob Spence is a contributing author to Chapter 15 of our new book, iRetire4Him: Unlock God’s Purpose for Your Retirement.

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!

At the ripe old age of five, Dave Hataj started working in the family business, Edgerton Gear, Inc. Although he was labeled as not being “college material,” Dave was hesitant to settle into a life of working in the gear business.

There are so many golden nuggets in this interview, and we can’t wait for you to listen and hear all that God has been doing through the work of Dave Hataj!

When Ellie was an attorney on her way up the corporate ladder, she thought that God would only get in the way of her aspirations. But as her career grew, she found that all her achievements were empty; she was missing a greater purpose or meaning – the kind that only God can fill. When we believe that our job or title or perceived success is our purpose, we are short-changing ourselves – because God has more in store for us. Moreover, our jobs are only one aspect of our lives that God wants to use to make an eternal impact. In this bonus interview, Ellie talks with us about what it looks like to glorify the Lord in the context of a Fortune 250 company, battling anxiety and fear in the face of the unexpected, and the two most important things to successfully living out your faith at work.
