Ep 2091: Choosing a Kingdom Company

What happens when a seasoned CFO approaches the finish line of a successful career and decides not to retire? In this inspiring episode, Jim Brangenberg welcomes back his favorite sister and longtime iWork4Him board member, Sue Wilson, to share why she left corporate stress behind to join a Kingdom-minded company—and how that decision has given her renewed purpose and passion. 

From the story of the unexpected miracle of how she got her current position to mentoring the next generation of leaders, Sue reflects on what it looks like to live out your faith at work, even in the later seasons of life. Together, she and Jim dive into the difference between “Christian-run businesses” and true “Kingdom companies,” the challenges of working with broken people (believers and not), and why retirement might not be as biblical as we think. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Why Sue chose purpose over retirement—and how it led to her favorite job yet. 

  • The difference between a company with Christian values vs. a Kingdom company. 

  • How to discern whether a company is truly faith-driven before taking the job. 

  • Advice for older professionals considering a second act rooted in purpose. 

  • Real talk about confronting conflict, loving pre-believers at work, and praying over our work.

If you’ve ever wondered why Jesus talked more about the Kingdom than the church—or what that means for you—this episode is a must-listen! 

What You'll Learn: 

  • Why Jesus focused on the Kingdom more than the church—and why that matters for your work. 

  • How faith and business go hand-in-hand, and how that combination leads to excellence!
