Ep 2092: 365 Days of Impact

It’s been a while, but iWork4Him welcomes back Blake Mattocks, founder of 365 Christian Men, a ministry dedicated to sharing inspirational stories from men of faith each and every day of the year. What started as a humble effort to inspire four sons has turned into a global movement reaching 8–10 million people monthly across over 100 countries. 

Blake shares his remarkable transition from bricklayer to pastor to ministry leader, revealing how obedience to God, faith in His plans, and authentic storytelling have the power to transform lives around the world. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Humble Beginnings: Blake’s journey began with a background in bricklaying and pastoral ministry before he took a faith-filled leap into digital storytelling. 

  • The Vision: Inspired by Hebrews 12:1, the mission of 365 Christian Men is to highlight single, pivotal moments in men’s lives—warts and all—that can inspire others to run their own race well. 

  • Global Impact: With stories translated into multiple languages and a reach of millions each month, the ministry is touching lives everywhere—even saving lives, like a woman in India who found hope through a translated story. 

  • New Horizons: Now a 501(c)(3), the ministry is at a crossroads, raising support to expand content, reach, and languages through a “500 People Challenge.” 

  • How to Engage: Sign up via app or text to receive daily stories and challenges. It's free, powerful, and incredibly easy to share. 

Resources Mentioned: 

  • App: Available for both Apple and Android

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.

Taking Your Faith Public
Taking Your Faith Public

Today we talk with Todd Hopkins, CEO of Office Pride and author of “Five Wisdoms for Entrepreneur Survival”, about taking his faith public and stressing less as a business owner. 

Too many entrepreneurs start a business and then give up before it has a chance to succeed. Todd wanted to write a book about how to persevere as a new small business owner and honor God in the process! The key? Ultimately, God owns the business, and we just need to be the stewards of it. 

Tune in to this fantastic show and be encouraged to share your faith, to pray for favor and wisdom, and pursue God’s plan for your business!
