Celebrating 9 Years of iWork4Him!

Here we are, at our nine-year celebration of iWork4Him and it all started with a speech. A speech about five ways to incorporate your faith into your workplace. Now, nine years later, iWork4Him is a legacy organization with over 2,100 produced podcasts, over 3,000 different guests, 3 brands, 3 books, and so much more. iWork4Him has become the mouthpiece of the faith and work movement – a movement dedicated to every workplace believer.

In today’s show, Jim and Martha have fun recounting all that God has done, who He has allowed them to meet, and how they have personally grown through the challenges of the last near-decade. From live radio one day per week, to five days per week, to podcasting the 1-minute PowerThought and 15-minute PowerPods, to on location shows at events and workplaces across the country – God has used this platform to share what He is doing in the lives of workers who are on mission at work. 

A big thank you to our guests, donors, sponsors, Board of Directors, and listeners these past nine years. We look forward to all that God has in store for the future – will you join us?

And for kicks – you can go back and here where it all began! CLICK HERE to listen to our FIRST EVER iWork4Him show!

A High Impact Life and Business

Most people look at investments as only economical, but Pete Ochs’ company Capital III focuses on the economic, social, and spiritual aspects. Pete’s holistic view of investment impact has led to some fantastic innovations for several of his other companies. Pete’s story should inspire us to ask God how He wants us to innovate for economic, social, and spiritual flourishing!

During a lawsuit, Pete read Proverbs 6, and God pierced his heart to humble himself before the opposition. When God used his obedience and the scripture to turn the situation around, Pete learned how applicable the Bible is in our daily work. Fast forward to today, where one of Pete’s companies is running a manufacturing plant in medium and high-security prisons and seeing lives restored through the three aspects we mentioned earlier. When an inmate receives fair wages, community, and biblical guidance, there is no limit to what God can do!

Pete recently released a book bundle called, A high impact LIFE, that he is offering to our listeners at a 10% discount with coupon code: IWORK4HIM

Thriving in Community

In an interview from the most recent CLA Outcome’s Conference, we talked with Mark Tjernagel, CFO for Cru, about holistic living and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit every day. Cru has a set of organizational values: faith, growth, and fruitfulness. However, during COVID-19, Mark’s team has added an additional value to the list: community.

Throughout the Pandemic, Mark’s finance team has been intentional about staying connected and recognizing the importance of every department playing out their role to the greater mission. Romans 12 is a whole chapter that drills down to the beauty of the body. We are all part of the body of Christ, and we need each other.  The members of his team need each other, their department needs other departments, and Cru needs other organizations for the whole body to thrive.

It’s Time for a Revolution

Dr. Jessica Rothmeyer is a born encourager. In fact, she was the person everyone went to for help fixing their issues. As a counselor, Jess often saw that people would get discouraged and not only walk away from their healing, but also their faith. Her recent book, It’s time for a Revolution, is an answer for practitioners to cast out the worldly teaching of today and realign their thinking with a new, healthier way of thinking – the Kingdom mindset.

In today’s show, Jessica boils it all down to two practical steps:

1. Read the Word of God 

2. Grow an intimate relationship with God 

We all have areas that need healing and Dr. Jessica is offering our listeners the chance to win a copy of her new book by calling 866-713-9675. Plus, receive 50% off her online course, Healing the Wounds of the Soul, by entering the code iWork4Him
