This episode of iWork4Him flips the script on lawyer stereotypes. Hear from Brooke Boltz, a Christian attorney who integrates her faith into her practice. Brooke wasn't always set on law, but her experience in the justice system ignited a passion for helping others. She transitioned from representing insurance companies to advocating for the injured.

The show explores how Brooke juggles faith, family, and a thriving business – while also co-hosting a podcast! She believes it’s important to incorporate her beliefs, from Bible verses in the conference room to pre-courtroom worship music. Want to listen to a few of those songs she mentions? 

• Higher Power – Crowder 

• Consuming Fire – Third Day 

• The King of My Heart 

Brooke encourages listeners to get in the Word on a daily basis and then be who God created you to be! Just like Brooke, God will use you to strike His mark (Job 36:32).

iWork4Him welcomes back Danita Bye to tackle how Christians can make a positive impact in their communities, potentially even through serving in government/political positions. She emphasizes the importance of civic engagement and highlights the archetypes of Christians in politics:  

1. Biblically grounded statesman – truthful, gracious, wise, and bold 

2. Biblically grounded but sometimes shrill, losing influence 

3. Someone who calls himself a Christian but is easily swayed  

4. Loud, brash, and unwilling to listen or learn, undermining his testimony 

5. One who thinks church is only for Sundays and shouldn’t interfere with the rest of the week 

6. A Christian who believes that the government has replaced the Church and therefore should be serving the poor 

Danita notes that she strives to be like the first type of Christian civic servant listed. She believes that civic engagement is a great opportunity for believers to be stewards that God has called us to be, like in Jeremiah 29:7, where Israel was instructed to help Babylon prosper. As Danita’s dad always commented: “the rules are made by those who show up.” So how can you show up?  

Reach out to your local boards and commissions to see how you can help, recognize what interests you and ask God for affirmation, and seek out prayer intercessors to provide clarity. You can also check out several resources highly recommended by Danita: 

• Well Versed: Biblical Answers to Today’s Tough Issues by Jim Garlow (book) 

• ReVersed: From Culturally Woke to Biblically Awake by Jim Garlow (upcoming book) 

• Biblical Citizenship in Modern America by Rick Green (workbook) 

• Why Christians Should Seek to Influence Government for Good by Wayne Grudem (paper) 

• The Truth Project by Del Tackett (small group curriculum) 

• Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 (conservative movement) 

• Letter to the American Church by Eric Metaxas 

Keep in mind the words of Plato: “If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools.”

Writer, coach, and businesswoman Peggy Bodde joins this iWork4Him Podcast episode to encourage Christian working women to use their God-given talents and abilities in the marketplace. She opens up about her own past doubts navigating a corporate leadership role while being a Christian. The work that she does can be summed up as help that she wishes she had earlier as a woman in the marketplace.  

Our work – and every part of our lives – is sacred because we bring God into those spaces. That’s the key message of this conversation and of Peggy’s new book, Sacred Work. It’s written specifically for women and serves as a handy reference guide for tons of different work dilemmas and circumstances. To get to know Peggy even better (which we recommend because she’s a gem!), check out her previous sheWorks4Him Podcast interview.

This second show on getting involved in foster care (check out the first show too) is so practical and inspiring! It challenges workplace believers and retirees alike to flip the foster care system on its head – in a good way. About 90% of foster parents quit within 2 years due to the overwhelming challenges. But you and your church can be the reason these families choose to keep fostering. 

Imagine a designated team bringing meals, chauffeuring kids, or providing childcare – a lifeline for foster families. This is an opportunity especially for retired folks who have the time and experience to lend a hand. Cindy shares stories and ideas that we pray will leave you answering the question: “What is my something that I can contribute?” 

Here are some simple ways to present care communities/wraparound grandparenting to your church:  

• Take the general idea and examples to your church leaders; offer to be an advocate for foster support 

• Send this episode link to your pastor and others who would be interested in helping out 

• Find resources from Promise686, a training organization that Cindy mentions in the episode 

• Connect with Cindy at cindy@keyfam.org, especially if you’re in PA

Get a high-level overview of fostering with Jim & Martha Brangenberg. They are joined by Cindy King, Equipping Director at Keystone Family Alliance in Pennsylvania. Cindy shares her personal journey into fostering, influenced by her upbringing and her husband's involvement as a foster care case worker. The conversation delves into the challenges of fostering and adoption. Since the government is not great at parenting, it's imperative that the Church steps up to care for the widows and orphans, as expressed many times in God’s Word. 

Cindy sheds light on the dire state of the foster care system nationwide, emphasizing the urgent need for support and advocacy within communities. One big issue she’s seen firsthand is high caseworker turnover and reminds us that caseworkers need our support too. Studies show that with every change in caseworker, the chances of a child leaving the foster care system get slimmer and slimmer.  

Fostering is a specific calling but caring for children in the foster care system is a mandate from God. Listen and pray about how you can get involved in fostering or supporting foster families.
