Ep 2040: The Christian Woman Resource You’ve Been Waiting For

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.

Ep 2039: Be the Answer to the Foster Care Crisis

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

Ep 2038: Make Each Day Sacred

Enjoy another “mic flip” where Jim and Martha are the ones being interviewed!  

This time they chat with South African Faith & Work enthusiast Bill Hollis. This conversation is chocked full of wisdom and emphasizes that God has equipped individuals with specific gifts and talents to fulfill their roles in the workplace, no matter where they are or what they do. Jim was able to share the iWork4Him Nation Covenant, advocating for incorporating faith into daily work routines through prayer, serving others, building authentic relationships, and maintaining excellence.  

The trio took some time to highlight the significance of celebrating and empowering Christian working women, acknowledging their spiritual giftings and contributions to the marketplace. Transformation happens when we bring Kingdom principles into the workplace! Expect the supernatural when you carry out your mission "as you go" in your everyday work environment.

Ep 2037: Our Collective Call to Care

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.
