It’s been 4 months now. Across the country, church buildings have been closed and even when limited gatherings have been allowed, singing has been forbidden. In Nevada, it is okay to have the casino open, but churches remain closed. Is this the work of the enemy or has it been allowed by an almighty God? This same God that allowed the death of Stephen to scatter his church across the Roman Empire. This same God may have allowed this virus and restrictions to scatter the church across communities for them to see the significance of their ministry in their own neighborhood. Across the country Christians have been set loose to do the ministry that Jesus called them too almost 2000 years ago. In essence, small is big and we are unleashing the power of intentionally small churches because that is what the law will allow. You may be asking what does this have to do with iWork4Him, EVERYTHING.  The body of Christ has already been scattered across workplaces in America for centuries, it is only now that we are realizing the significance of this scattering. We are all called to our work and our homes to be a light to fight the darkness. We’re talking with Tony and Felicity Dale, experts in the small church movement who have seen it transform London in the 70’s and 80’s and are hoping this explosion of small churches in America will transform our great country.

FaceBook Live Video Interview

We had the honor of having our good friend, Os Hillman, back on-air with us for a lengthy chat on Life and Faith – and how to put God first in both. Os went through a season of crisis that pivoted his view of God's purpose for him as a writer and speaker. Out of this season came his first book, "The Upside of Adversity," and the start of his FREE daily devotional, "Today God is First" or "TGIF."

In this show, Os talks with us about how God often uses adversity as a catalyst to usher us into the larger story of our life. Every great leader making a Kingdom impact has had a moment in their life that forced them to get out of the way so that God could be at the forefront. Adversity moves us from who we are to someone who can be used more effectively for God's purpose.

Os also gave us a primer on the 2019 "Culture Shapers Summit," where 350 leaders and business owners came together to connect, collaborate, pray, and mobilize. Here, they discussed how the simplest way to influence the seven mountains of culture is through everyday workers, business, and employees. Os says that most people sell themselves short – they don't think of their positions' spiritual nature. But if you solve a problem in someone's life or in the community, you gain influence as a byproduct. If we, as the body of Christ, can start strategically thinking about how to serve well and solve everyday problems, we will gain influence that can be turned towards the Gospel.

Os Hillman is a Contributor to Chapter 9 of The iWork4Him Field Manual.
