Ever wonder if you’re living your calling? Dr. Chip Roper and friends are living in their calling, thanks to the work of the Voca Center in the City that Never Sleeps – New York! Hear about their work and nuggets of wisdom on how to live YOUR calling.
“Too many people are going to work every day, without a sense of calling.” ~ Dr. Chip Roper
Enter the Voca (short for vocation) Center in New York City. Let’s go ahead and define vocation from a biblical perspective: a strong impulse or inclination to follow a particular activity or career. A divine call to God's service or to the Christian life. A function or station in life to which one is called by God.
The VOCA Center provides faith-based training, coaching, and connections to make people’s work all that God designed it to be. Assessing your skillsets for your job today or your next work calling. What roles have you been in and how is God using you?
Dr. Chip Roper, the President and Chair of the board of directors shares several stories of what happened with two specific folks that went through the program at The VOCA Center and are NOW living their calling!
“Vocation points to two areas: it’s about your next day at work. And it’s about your next career move.” ~ Dr. Chip Roper
When’s the last time you stopped and thought about your job? Is it your VOCATION? The word is derived from the Latin word VOCARE, meaning to name or to call. That means your vocation is actually your calling.
Most of us work, and are often working hard, and perhaps even working diligently for the Lord…. but are we working in our chosen calling? Dorothy Sayers, in her 19 century essay WHY WORK, said this: “Work is not, primarily, a thing one does to live, but the thing one lives to do. It is, or it should be, the full expression of the worker’s faculties, the thing in which he finds spiritual, mental and bodily satisfaction, and the medium in which he offers himself to God.”
S,o how about YOU? If you’re not working your CALLING, we challenge you to listen to this podcast. And then go on a journey to find it.

Let’s celebrate a few milestones today! In the past nine years, we have produced 2,200 podcasts and interviewed over 3,500 people. In addition, we have written a weekly blog for over 470 weeks, written three books, created and produced a 1-minute weekday PowerThought for podcast and radio, traveled thousands of miles, and met so many incredible people – BUT it’s time for a break.
Throughout Scripture, God gives us great examples of REST, including at the very beginning of creation, and we know that we’ve failed to practice and obey them. In today’s show, we share honestly about what God is telling us and how we need to get serious rest so that we can walk in obedience in all He is asking of us.
So, we want to invite you to embark with us in this new season of restoration and relationship. Won’t you commit to incorporating the iWork4Him Nation pledge into our summer? Get to know our neighbors at home and work – spend some time grilling out, hosting potlucks, and relationship building. I know we will! See you this fall!

Sometimes the path to our calling takes many turns. Dr. Eli Jones shares his story in his new book Run Toward your Goliaths. Despite being a first-generation college student, Eli’s childhood was full of first-rate learning experiences! His parents were entrepreneurial, and his dad’s work truck was often a classroom for Eli. After graduating college, Eli took several unexpected career turns. Still eventually, he ended up back in school to get his Ph.D., where Eli indeed found his calling as a teacher and writer!
Eli’s unchanging life mission has been to transform lives, and through teaching principles that come from the Bible – he is able to do just that. Higher education is fertile soil for connecting faith to learning. At Texas A&M, there are so many ways to visibly carry that out through the Christian Faculty Network and Breakaway ministry happening on campus, where Eli is deeply involved.

James Barnett had a childhood of road trips to treasure. Most of us would reminisce about the memories happily and leave it at that. Not James! He has allowed God to take those road trip lessons to shape his leadership at home and at work, in his role as President of DaySpring.
His many life lessons include learning who is in control, Why God vs What God, and helping others see what they can’t see in themselves. Even now, James’ parents haven’t lost their sense of adventure and hit the road again for a family adventure to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. In this episode, we learn from James’ example to constantly learn from every experience God gives us.

In this interview from last year’s CLA Outcomes Conference, we speak with National Commander – Commissioner Kenneth G. Hodder, who has been with The Salvation Army for 33 years. Ken believes that one of the organization’s strengths is that they don’t have a narrow focus. This allows The Salvation Army to help people wherever they are – however, it can also lead to burn out. Throughout the pandemic, The Salvation Army has been working to meet the needs of the many Americans who have fallen under the poverty line. They went from serving 52 million meals per year to over 225 million in 2020! However, God is faithful, and Ken says that giving went up by 27% this year, which allowed the Army to do what it does best – love on people! Ken also shares with us how he keeps himself from burnout with a routine and schedule that keep his faith centered on Christ.
Commissioner Hodder is 6th generation Salvationist, 4th generation commissioner, and 2nd generation National Commander. What a legacy he has followed and will leave for future generations. His final words to leaders were to not try to change the people but use their strengths to serve.

James Barnett has a heart for adventure and a true sense of awe, and this part 1 of a 2-part bonus interview explores some of James’ fondest memories. From an uncle that modeled hard work and generosity to parents that modeled a life of prayer, James’ family has played a large role in his spiritual formation. His recently released book, Blue Skies: How to Live in Extraordinary Expectation of What’s Around the Corner, captures lessons he has learned from his family road trips.
James’ exposure to author Bob Buford and his book Halftime forced him to answer the question, “Are you driven or all you called?” This made him take a hard look at why God does something versus what God is wanting to teach in each of life’s circumstances. Celebrating a 41-year career at DaySpring – and now the President – God has used James’ adventures to shape his leadership both at work and home. Through his many experiences, James has allowed God to show him life lessons at every turn. There is so much to learn, and his Blue Skies book shows how we can capture and share them along the way.

Having founded a church and worked in the marketplace, Tom Lutz has a unique vantage point on faith integration. Join us in today’s show as Tom discusses finding your purpose, faith in the marketplace, and vocational discipleship!
As a young believer, Tom thought he needed to go to seminary to serve in ministry. Seminaries often teach on the importance of discipleship within the Church, but rarely discipleship within the workplace. After some years, Tom acknowledged that his real calling was to the marketplace. But, despite feeling like God was calling him there, it took him quite a while to not feel like God frowned on that decision. His new book, Equipping Christians for Kingdom Purpose in their Work, is a “how to” book that answers practical questions like:
- Who are you? What is your purpose? How will you fulfill your purpose?
Believers who integrate their faith at work are more engaged as church members and Followers of Christ. That’s why it is our goal to help start vocational discipleship across the Nation!

Kenny Hill admits he was building his career in vain. For years, he tried to outpace the shame in his life by pouring himself into his job performance. But it wasn’t until his first marriage crumbled and he was at the end of his rope that Kenny began to really learn about doing things God’s way – in love. Of course, anyone can love people for a few hours, but good leaders co-labor with God to make love a lifelong practice.

Growing up as a missionary kid in Belize, you can imagine how a near-death experience at age 12 led Jonathan Nowlen into a closer relationship with God. Then, as a young adult, Jonathan followed in his parents’ footsteps and became a career missionary with YWAM, where he eventually served in over 60 countries. While in NW Arkansas to drum up church partnerships, God compelled Jonathan around the idea that all Christians are missionaries and the Kingdom of God can be advanced through the workplace. Thus, The Metron Manager Project was started. Through Jonathan’s books, curriculum, podcast, and marketplace mission consultations – God is transforming lives through the dignity of vocation.
Jonathan says that the podcast started as a way to expound on the ideas written in his books and share the stories of practitioners that are being renewed. His message is lifegiving – whether you’ve been in the workforce for a long time or when you start your very first job.

Valerie Bell is the CEO of Awana Clubs International. At the most recent Outcome’s Conference, we had a chance to ask Valerie how she keeps her faith strong and her leadership Christ-centered… the answer won’t surprise you: through scripture memorization and journaling. Accordingly, the entire Awana staff is currently memorizing Philippians 2 together because Scripture memorization isn’t just for the kids they serve! Awana is now in 129 countries serving over 5 million children weekly. They are the first to tell you that they are not about child discipleship but lifelong discipleship. What will they remember and know in 2050 when they are adults? After hiding God’s word in their hearts, the second most impactful thing Awana does is provide loving, caring adults. Valerie says, “we need a little less Disney and a whole lot more Mister Rogers.”

In today’s show, we talk with husband-wife team Jerry and Carol Meek, the founders of Desert Star Construction and Glorious Reflections, about working with your spouse, building a business on integrity, and focusing on God over goals. Jerry and Carol met in the high school choir and built a friendship that became lifelong in marriage. God has carried them through the good times and the bad and continually highlights our need for hope in every circumstance.
In the 2008 recession, the Meeks determined not to lay anyone off despite decreasing building projects. So instead, they worked on some special projects that kept the team strong so that when the building started to return, their team was still together and able to rebound quickly. This fierce love for those God has put in their care was passed down from Jerry’s dad, who told him the only thing you own is your integrity. And sure enough, when they stopped focusing on their income goals and made giving goals, the results were amazing!
Today the Meeks have started Glorious Reflections – a collective of leaders who want to live and lead in a way that brings glory to God! You can take the 21-day challenge by texting “challenge” to 55444.

In this show from the most recent CLA Outcomes Conference, we talk with Brenda Long, Sr. Director of Infrastructure Operations at Food for the Hungry. Brenda has been with Food for the Hungry, an organization that takes a holistic approach to ending poverty through purposeful relief, for over 26 years. Tune in as we discuss getting still before God, leadership development, personality tests, and the mission to end hunger.
When we asked Brenda about the daunting task of ending hunger, she said that Food for the Hungry is simply called to be a part of the solution, not the whole thing. They believe that it is through partnership and cooperation that the Kingdom of God comes to fruition. Accordingly, Brenda says we are all leaders, even if it's not in your title. Studying the enneagram is one tool that has helped her to lead better and understand those she leads.

Most people look at investments as only economical, but Pete Ochs’ company Capital III focuses on the economic, social, and spiritual aspects. Pete’s holistic view of investment impact has led to some fantastic innovations for several of his other companies. Pete’s story should inspire us to ask God how He wants us to innovate for economic, social, and spiritual flourishing!
During a lawsuit, Pete read Proverbs 6, and God pierced his heart to humble himself before the opposition. When God used his obedience and the scripture to turn the situation around, Pete learned how applicable the Bible is in our daily work. Fast forward to today, where one of Pete’s companies is running a manufacturing plant in medium and high-security prisons and seeing lives restored through the three aspects we mentioned earlier. When an inmate receives fair wages, community, and biblical guidance, there is no limit to what God can do!

When asked about what keeps his faith centered on a day-to-day basis, Dr. Arthur Satterwhite, the VP of Diversity, Belonging, and Strategy for Young Life will tell you that it’s been “back to basics” for him recently. He has been redeeming his margin and spending time on the core elements of his faith. And this doesn’t extend only to his own life; Arthur’s goal in his profession is always to go back to the basics of what Young Life was founded on 80 years ago: introducing kids to Jesus.
In this special interview from the CLA Outcomes Conference, Arthur talks about how policy doesn’t change the heart; only God can. As well as how adding margin to our everyday life gives us the opportunity to stop and serve where God needs us. After all, Jesus left the 99 to serve the one, and so should we.

About a year and a half ago, we set off on a journey to write a book that would encourage retirees, and those on their way to retirement, to intentionally engage in God's purpose for their lives. Because the truth is that retirement is not the end of your Kingdom calling – it's just the beginning. Retirement opens new opportunities to invest in the people around you and mentor the next generation through the accumulated wisdom and experience you've gained throughout your life. We created iRetire4Him – in collaboration with eight other contributing authors and ministries – to help you get off the sidelines and back in the game!
Since our roots are in radio and podcasting, we are especially excited about this audiobook version of iRetire4Him! Each chapter is read by its contributing author – so you get the chance not only to hear new perspectives but also the new voices that go along with them. As our Gift to you, we are releasing the audio from the Introduction and first chapter on our podcast so you can get a feel for the content inside our new collaborative resource, iRetire4Him: Unlock God's Purpose for Your Retirement.

About a year and a half ago, we set off on a journey to write a collaborative resource for Christian women in the workplace. Over the last eight years of being on-air interviewing workplace believers – we heard so many stories coming from women of faith who love to work outside the home and be a part of the marketplace but felt second-place in the Kingdom. This should never be! So, that kicked off a year and a half long journey of Martha and me to create a collaborative resource that would encourage every Christian working woman.
sheWorks4Him was written to celebrate, validate, encourage, and equip women in the workplace to vibrantly live out their faith in every area of life! In addition to myself, we invited 19 other women of faith to contribute their own inspiring stories of activating their workplace mission field. The audiobook version of sheWorks4Him is especially exciting – as each chapter is read by its contributing author!

Everybody feels alone sometimes, especially when unexpected circumstances arise. Chaplains are a way for your company or organization to show its employees that they are not alone by building caring relationships over time! Chaplains provide one-on-one, grassroots ministry to employees that may never have set foot in a church before. Whether it is support through a crisis like suicide, family loss, illness, or financial distress, or a celebration like a new marriage, baby, or promotion.

When Ellie was an attorney on her way up the corporate ladder, she thought that God would only get in the way of her aspirations. But as her career grew, she found that all her achievements were empty; she was missing a greater purpose or meaning – the kind that only God can fill.

So many believers feel called to full-time ministry, so they think they should quit their jobs and go to work in a church or Christian non-profit. But that’s simply not what Scripture teaches us about ministry and missions! Each one of us has a unique set of gifts, talents, and abilities. These gifts were meant to be used not only to provide for us, but also to give us access to unbelievers in the workplace – the kind that will never set foot in a church.

Annemarie Cross was adopted into a family that lived their lives so on mission that she never had to learn how to do that in her work, it was natural. Today, she gets to help others learn how to communicate their branding and message through the medium of podcasting. Her perspective that we are ambassadors for Christ is timely, to say the least, as Australia is dealing with increased restrictions and issues around freedom of speech. Join us as we talk about the workplace mission field, the challenges of being a Christian working woman, and speaking out about your faith in difficult situations. You can listen to Annemarie Cross’s podcast, The Christian Entrepreneur Podcast, on Awaken Podcast Network.

Danita Bye burned her corporate navy-blue power suit. Yes, literally burned it. Why? Because she realized that it had become a symbol of the pressure she felt to be a modern-day “Wonder Woman,” a title that was impossible to live up to and left her feeling like a failure. In this bonus interview, she talks about letting go of perfection in exchange for grace, finding your identity, and generational reconciliation.

Ever met a Christian Human Resources Director? Is that even legal? Find out how HR at a faith-based company handles the question “why are you letting me go?” The answer is astonishingly candid and glorifying.
Perry Marshall is an engineer, yet his most recent book on prayer, Memos from the Head Office, is anything but engineered. Perry says that we have excessively and obsessively formulated our time with God. In the book, he encourages us to look at this time in a fresh and unconventional way, working to remove any roadblocks that might cause the reader to disengage from spiritual things.
God intersected Perry's life in a dramatic way. When a stranger named Vivian told him a message from God about him, and it was true – God had his attention. In Memos from the Head Office, Perry shares other, similar, miraculous stories of God’s intervention in people’s work lives. Plus, in the book's appendix, Perry presents one of the most straightforward and gentle presentations of the Gospel that we've ever seen. In fact, that might be the best reason to buy the book. We are giving away a free copy of Memos from the Head Office. To win, call the listener line at 866-713-9675(WORK).

We all like to go on vacation. Everyone likes to get away, relax, explore, and check out from the real world for a few days. But what if your vacation moments turned into defining moments – the kind that makes you go home not only renewed in body but also in spirit? What if everywhere you went, you learned how God had woven the story of the Gospel into that location? Today we talk with travel enthusiasts Rick and Susan McCarthy about their book Defining Moments: The Transformational Promises of Faith-Based Travel.
Rick and Susan have an insatiable love for travel! After attending a DreamMasters weekend through the Masters Program, God gave them a unique dream for their marriage: to change travel and vacationing into a spiritually rich experience. In this episode, we talk with Rick and Susan about how their book is helping people have a rich Holy Spirit experience while touring places from Scripture.

Have you ever struggled with time management? With overcommitment? Or with feeling like you’re juggling too many things at once? Today we head off to Chicago, IL to talk with Mark Michuda of Michuda Diversified Holdings about how he went from a life riddled with overcommitment and stress to one characterized by peace and margin. Tune in to hear about how Mark turned his life around, and how you can too!
Mark’s life (and his relationship with God) has taken a lot of detours, but when he agreed to go on a yearlong journey to look for growth and meaning with his wife, everything changed. They found a church that led Mark to a personal relationship with Jesus that has permeated every area of his life, including his more than 100-year-old family business.
Over time, Mark learned from the Experiencing God Bible Study that God is at work everywhere, including as his work. But a barrier to Mark giving his best at work was the stress of overcommitment and time management. Through an amazing series of events, he was connected to Belay Solutions where he was matched with Yassi, his executive assistant. You’ll have to listen to the interview to hear how much this has changed his life! Full of wisdom and insight, Mark Michuda has shared his journey for all of us to dig deeper into our own need for solutions.
We are grateful for our show sponsor: Belay Solutions, and the impact they have had on Mark Michuda personally and his company. Mark named Yassi as his MVP – a testament in itself!

Welcome to our guests and friends: Bill and Marietta Boysen! Most people take it for granted that both of their kidneys are in the same room, but today is a special day for Jim and Bill because Bill's visit means that Jim's kidneys are together. In this unique show, we spend some time unpacking the Living Kidney Donor Program and the 100,000 people that are currently on the waiting list for a kidney.
Us for Them is an organization that we can get behind because they have a vision for Christ-followers to solve this problem. No, not every believer needs to donate a kidney, just 100,000 of them.
Bill inherited polycystic kidney disease. By the time his kidneys were removed, they each weighed a whopping 34 pounds and were roughly the size of a basketball. So many parts of Bill's body had been affected by the stress and underperformance of those kidneys. Through our friendship of several decades, Jim and Bill had been praying for his future donor – but little did we know that the donor would end up being Jim! God brought us together, and there was no doubt that this was a part of His plan. In this episode, we have the chance to walk through some of the process together.
Why did we do this episode, and why should you listen? To raise awareness that you could save someone's life! What a gift to give an organ we don't need to someone who can't live without it! After hearing this episode, we hope you'll be inspired to visit www.usforthem.org and learn more about living kidney donation. Please share this with your friends and family. Jim says this was the best gift he ever received – giving Bill his kidney.

Meet an unapologetic business owner. He gets it. He gets what being a Kingdom business “steward” is all about and running the biznistry (business as ministry) he stewards for God.
Skip Stanton, the owner of Aqua Plumbing and Air, has found great peace amid COVID-19 because of one simple thing: his faith. As the leader of over 150 employees and thousands of customers, Skip knows that the real enemy of peace during uncertain times is fear of the future. And boy, are there a lot of people dealing with fear in today's world and marketplace! Tune in to hear how Skip uses transparent leadership, communication, and prayer to minister to his employees in the midst of a global pandemic.
One of Skip's undeniable talents is communication. Even before 2020 hit, he firmly believed that communicating openly and having a transparent leadership style led to a culture of trust in his business. And it has held true with the employees of Aqua. Don't get us wrong, it's been a tough season for everyone, and his staff has been affected, but Skip has worked hard to push back the spirit of fear in favor of one of faith.
How you may ask?
Well, Skip believes that as a follower of Christ and as the leader of a company, he has the opportunity to come to work each day as a beacon of peace to those around him. To be sure he is in the right head and heart space, he spends his mornings in prayer, is involved in his local church, and attends a local C12 group that gives him training and support in being a strong Christian Business Leader. And although Skip would love to minister to all 180 of his employees individually, he knows that that isn't exactly feasible, so he has an on-staff chaplain to help minister to them and their families.
Remember, where there is faith, there is NO FEAR!

Jeremie Kubicek is no stranger to iWork4Him, and on today's show, we unpack the Certified GiANT Leadership Coach Program that, according to Jeremie, "helps leaders to do humble things in a big way!" But first, we get personal with Jeremie, as he tells us how God has been changing his perspective on the prayer, "thy Kingdom come, thy will be done."
Since Jeremie and co-founder Steve Cockram started GiANT, they realized that there is no way to train everyone who wants to go through the Leadership Coaching Certification Program individually. So instead, they created a fantastic collaborative platform for coaches and organizations to not only learn from but also over 60 tools and resources they can customize to help put what they've learned into action NOW. Plus, their certification program is low-cost, which makes it highly accessible, and it can be used as either an additional tool in the toolbelt for a coach or as a practice in itself. Martha and I had the pleasure of going through the Sherpa training firsthand recently and can testify to the value of these resources and tools both at work and at home!

IF there is one thing that is certain, married couples who own a business have more stress to work through in their marriage than couples who do not. IT doesn’t matter if both couples work in the business or not. When you own a business in your marriage IT impacts your marriage. Marriage is work and we have addressed that many times on iWork4Him. If your marriage is struggling so does all of your life tend to be a struggle. If your marriage is a mess, it impacts everything you do & say. We as Jesus followers are supposed to be working on our marriages because they are to be a witness to our pre-believer friends all around us. Our marriages are to be a light. So how do we deal with the tension in our marriages caused by a business. Here to help us parse through the conversation is Robert and Kay Lee Fukui. They run a biznistry called PowerCouplesByDesign.com
Robert and Kay Lee Fukui have a lot in common with Jim and Martha Brangenberg. You’ve probably heard Jim and Martha talk about how work and marriage really affect each other and if one is stressed then it’s all affected. We can’t just leave our marriage stress at the door when we come to work, especially if we work together. Robert and Kay Lee developed their business out of necessity after seeing the struggle with work becoming the mistress in their homes growing up. They decided to take the 2 year premarriage tools they learned and use them to help business owners strengthen their own marriages and build successful businesses. What a fun chat this was to talk about marriage and business and how they can thrive, survive, or die.
One of the most typical struggles this couples has dealt with is that couples work too hard and don’t have great conflict resolution skills. Learning how to leave work and resolve conflict can be keys to a thriving marriage and prosperous business. They have developed an 8 step approach to this that they implement with every couple they work with.
Robert and Kay Lee host a podcast – Power Up your Marriage and Business, and talk about all of these topics on a deeper level. In fact they turned the tables and interviewed Jim and Martha for one of their future episodes. www.PowerCouplesByDesign.com

The Manufacturing world is a little rough and tumble. The floors aren’t always clean and the conversations may be a little rough too. But what do we know about the manufacturing workforce in America? They are diehard loyal Americans who work hard and sweat hard to make parts, pieces and equipment made right here in the USA. So where does Jesus fit in to the manufacturing world? Dee Barnes is here to tell her story of being the CEO of Evans Tool and Die in Conyers GA and how Jesus changed her life and impacts her manufacturing company every day. Dee is also going to tell us about a very special event she is hosting related to her life before Jesus.
Dee Barnes always dreamed of running her family company, Evans Tool & Die and went to school to prepare herself to do just that. Dee dealt with sexual sin – heterosexual and homosexual and one day a friend showed her Romans 1 and it convicted her. God is using her testimony of transformation in amazing ways. She is the first to tell you that God has blessed her through her healing and given her a husband and family as a blessing. Now years later she is back running the family business as CEO while at the same time leading His Wonderful Works.
Dee’s love for the Lord comes through by her bold approach to running the company. She regularly offers prayer to her employees and ends meetings with prayer, asking God to solve their supply chain issues or anything else they may be dealing with. Dee is a great example of just being bold and trusting the Lord for answers.
His Wonderful Works is hosting their event in Atlanta September 11, 2021 and is full of testimonies of believers walking in healing from a variety of sexual sins. https://hiswonderfulworks.com/amazing-love-event/

Why does iWork4Him Exist, because Work Matters. Why did God give Adam and Eve work in the Garden, because Work Matters. Why are you listening to this show today, because Work Matters. Work Matters to God and your work is your ministry and the place you get to display God’s handiwork in your life. David Roth Joins us today from www.WorkMatters.org to give us an update on what they are doing to help Christ Followers like you to live out their faith in their work and to tell you about their online learning program.
David Roth had his “Sunday Christian” years for the first 20 years of his career. He felt like he was doing the right things, but had no clue about integrating his faith and his work. As new parents they decided to move near family. In their new city they were growing in their faith on Sunday and started to think about how that applied at work. Through the lives of some key influences David started seeing examples of Christians living out their faith consistently between home and work. He feels he got an MBA in faith and work through observing others.
David attended a leadership simulcast at his church where they launched Workmatters. He immediately became a volunteer and on the board. Through wise counsel they spun this ministry out of the church and God has used this stand alone ministry to reach thousands.
Fast forward to now, Workmatters is working to scale the Workmatters Institute for Young Professionals this Fall in several cities. This 12 week commitment allows attendees, physical or digital, to dig deep into their faith and develop actionable items to implement in their work. www.workmatters.org/institute
