We spend more than one-third of our life at work. Yet sadly, Barna research shows nearly two-thirds of churched adults say it has been at least three years or more since they heard church teachings on work and career, and yet, the workplace is where most Americans spend the biggest share of their waking hours.  What can YOU do, to introduce your church to the importance of faith and work? Invite your pastor to your office and ask him or her to pray for your team, your clients and your year for maximum impact for the Kingdom.  What day this month will YOU invite YOUR pastor to work?

In this episode of "AgCredit Said It," guest host Kendra Heffelfinger leads a discussion with members of the Young Beginning and Small Farmer advisory group from Ag Credit, including Zach Maag, Cora Willeke, and Brent Orians. The focus is on the importance of supporting young, beginning, and small farmers (YBS) as the next generation in the farming industry. The panel discusses various programs and partnerships that AgCredit offers to assist YBS farmers, such as collaboration with the Farm Service Agency (FSA) for down payment and participation loans, and the AgStart program which provides tailored financial solutions. They also highlight the Ohio Ag Link program, which helps reduce interest rates on operating loans, and other opportunities like grain facility loans and EQUIP programs. The conversation emphasizes the role of AgCredit in providing not just financial support but also educational resources and networking opportunities, such as the Emerge conference, to help farmers plan for succession and improve their operations. The episode concludes with a discussion on the challenges faced by YBS farmers, including land accessibility and rising input costs, and how AgCredit aims to be a solution-driven partner through these challenges.

Generosity. Is it an action, a state of the heart, or a mind-set? I heard recently that generosity is BEST when it includes all three and we compare it with IMPACT.  Have you ever thought about your giving in this way? That your giving could possibly be leveraged for the highest impact for eternity? What if we all stopped and looked and prayed over the resources we have, and re-committed the 10% tithe of all our income, to MAXIMIZE impact for the Kingdom?  Isaiah 32:8 says “But generous people plan to do what is generous, and they stand firm in their generosity.”  What will you do today, to put on this new “eternal” mindset of generosity?

Ecclesiastes 4:12 says A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.  Are you a Christian standing alone in your work or professional life? Are YOU standing alone in OTHER areas of your life? What if you prayed and asked for a group that you could “do life and work” together with?  We, as God's creation, were BUILT for community. IF you have no community, you may be operating out of God's will or slogging or surviving, vs. thriving.  We challenge you today, to ask a trusted Christian friend, or to go online and search for a Christ-honoring community to be a part of. 

By now, we've talked a lot about moving from being an implementer to someone who empowers others. You've started offering supportive services and built out a design system to help teams move faster. But if we're serious about scaling UX across an organization, we need to go even further.We need to make sure people have access to the right tools.Because even with a design system, your colleagues won't be able to do much UX work unless they have the means to run surveys, test ideas, analyze user behavior, or check accessibility. And if they're left to figure that out on their own, they'll waste time, pick poor tools, or give up altogether.Why a UX Tool Suite MattersIf you want your colleagues to take on more UX tasks themselves, you can't just leave them to it. You have to make it easy.Providing a pre-approved, easy-to-access set of tools helps in several ways:Saves time: No more researching dozens of survey platforms or testing toolsEnsures quality: You know the tools work and produce reliable resultsMakes training easier: Everyone is using the same toolset, so onboarding is simplerImproves collaboration: Results are more consistent, making it easier to share and interpret findingsYou're not just giving people tools. You're removing friction. And that makes adoption of UX practices far more likely.What Tools Should You Include?There's no single "perfect" toolkit. What works for one team may not work for another. But in general, you'll want to support the following areas:User ResearchSurveys, polls, and feedback tools. Things like Typeform, Google Forms, or UserTesting for more in-depth work.Data VisualizationTools to create personas, journey maps, or visualize research insights. Miro, UXPressia, or Figma's FigJam are good options here.Usability TestingRemote or in-person tools like Lookback, Maze, or even moderated sessions using Zoom and screen sharing.PrototypingFigma is the go-to for many teams, but simpler tools like Balsamiq might be better for beginners. Adobe XD or Axure offer more advanced options. Pick what fits your team's needs and existing skills.AnalyticsHeatmaps and behavior tracking via tools like Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, or Google Analytics.AccessibilityBasic checks can be done with free tools like Axe DevTools, WAVE, or Siteimprove.It doesn't matter whether you go with an all-in-one platform or mix-and-match a few niche tools. The important thing is that the tools are:Easy to learnAlready availableApproved through procurementClearly documented, ideally with how-to guides or short trainingMake It Easy to Say "Yes"The best way to roll out a toolkit is to make it dead simple for people to start using it. That might mean:A Notion page listing your approved tools, with links and login infoA 15-minute intro video explaining what each tool doesTemplates for common tasks (like a usability testing plan or survey structure)Short drop-in training sessions to help people get startedWhen you lower the activation energy, you increase adoption. It's that simple.You're Not Just Providing Tools. You're Shaping BehaviorThis isn't just about giving people tools. It's about shaping a new culture.By equipping others, you're embedding UX into their daily practice. You're helping them build good habits. And you're removing one more excuse for not putting users first.It's one of the clearest ways to expand your influence without burning out.Outie's AsideIf you run a freelance practice or agency, this applies just as much to you. But in your case, your "colleagues" are your clients.Most clients want to do the right thing. They just don't know how. By giving them a simple toolkit, you make it easier for them to run with your ideas even after the project is done.Here's what that could look like:Provide a shortlist of free or low-cost research tools they can use between engagementsCreate a reusable testing script they can adaptOffer a client dashboard (Notion, Trello, or similar) that links to helpful resourcesRecord a short Loom video showing them how to run a simple usability testThat small investment makes you more valuable and deepens the relationship. It shows you're thinking long-term. Not just about the deliverables, but about their ongoing success.Curating a suite of UX tools might seem like a small step, but it can have a huge impact. When you remove the guesswork and make it easy for people to do good UX work, you unlock progress across the whole organization.It's one more way you move from being the person who does UX to the person who enables it.In the next lesson, we'll look at creating a preferred supplier list - another essential resource that helps your colleagues stay on track, even when you're not in the room.

Have you ever met someone that lives one integrated life? They seem to flow seamlessly between their work and personal life without pause or care.  What is this? It's authenticity. And its attraction is unparalleled. How is it possible? It's living a life based on Godly values. I'd hazard a guess a person like this lives their values in this order: God, Family, and Service.  When we LIVE BY our values, decisions are easier, relationships are easier, and knowing where to invest our time, talent and treasure is easier. Because our values ARE our priority. And our heart lines up with our values, and those line up with our thoughts, our thoughts then direct our words and actions.  How are YOU living your values at work today? 

“The simple believe everything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.” — Proverbs 14:15In an age where scams are becoming more sophisticated by the day, Scripture reminds us that discernment isn't optional—it's essential. As believers, protecting the resources God has entrusted to us is more than a practical concern—it's an act of stewardship. Here's how you can guard your finances with wisdom, not fear.Scams Are Everywhere—But So Is WisdomFraudsters use every channel available: phone calls, text messages, emails, and even impersonations of people you trust. But as followers of Christ, we're not called to panic. We're called to walk in wisdom (Ephesians 5:15). That begins with slowing down and thinking critically.Pause before you respond. Scammers rely on urgency. If someone pressures you to act immediately—whether claiming your account is locked or your money is at risk—take a step back. Hang up. Verify the source independently. Urgency is often a red flag. Avoid untraceable payments. No legitimate organization will ask for payment via wire transfer or gift cards. These are the preferred tools of scammers because they're nearly impossible to recover.Practical Steps for Digital ProtectionFinancial stewardship now includes digital awareness. Here are practical ways to protect yourself and your family:Use credit cards, not debit cards, for online purchases. Credit cards usually come with stronger fraud protection. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all your financial accounts. Even if a scammer gets your password, they can't access your account without a second form of verification. Don't reuse passwords. Use a secure password manager, such as Bitwarden or NordPass, to create and store strong, unique passwords. Set up account alerts. Most banks allow you to monitor activity in real-time, giving you a heads-up if something unusual occurs. Freeze your credit. It's free to do and offers one of the best defenses against identity theft. You can always unfreeze it temporarily when needed. Avoid public Wi-Fi for financial transactions. Wait until you're on a secure network or at home to check your bank accounts or make purchases. Limit what you share on social media. Personal details, such as birthdays or family names, can be used to guess passwords or security questions. Adjust your privacy settings and post wisely. Shred sensitive documents before discarding them. Even in the digital age, identity thieves still dig through trash. Don't click on unfamiliar links, even if they appear to come from someone you know. When in doubt, contact the person or organization directly for clarification.Stewarding Wisdom in CommunityScammers often target the vulnerable, particularly older adults and teenagers. So make this a shared effort. Discuss online fraud with your family. Equip them with knowledge. If you receive a letter or email about identity protection following a data breach, verify it by contacting the company directly, rather than through the provided link or number.Financial faithfulness today includes digital vigilance. But there's no need for fear. By taking these simple steps, you can walk confidently, knowing you're stewarding God's resources with care.A Tool for Wise Stewardship: The FaithFi AppLooking for a practical way to manage your money with wisdom and peace of mind?

72% of people who get up and go to work every day think “nobody cares about me”. That's a WHOLE LOT of hurting people that will never experience God's love. So, what if we just took God's love to them? What if there was a chaplain in the workplace that looks just like them, that meets them where they are; to just listen, pray and love them?  Workplace chaplains DO exist and are more and more common in today's workplaces! And THAT is the gospel!  Echoing Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 9, “When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings.”  So, we challenge you, look into finding a chaplain for your people and transform your workplace into a place where people are loved.

Changing the world. We all have that secret desire, don't we?  Changing the world in Kingdom terms is not measured in the BIG, the BIGGER and the BIGGEST actions in our life and work. It's the opposite. Changing the world happens, one person, one word and one action at a time. It can be as small as a smile, a kind word, or a self-less act of service. It's counter-intuitive, just like the work of Christ. So how about you?  Would you like to change the world? Would you be willing to start today, changing the corner of the world where God has placed YOU?  We invite you to start changing the world RIGHT NOW, with ONE smile, ONE kind word, and ONE kind action.

Most entrepreneurs think raising VC money means they've "made it."But Tom Dillon learned something different during his years in investment banking and running a PE-backed company.After analyzing countless deals and experiencing the pressure firsthand, he discovered that VC money comes with a specific expectation: IPO-level returns."For a lot of VCs, they kinda look at things in terms of roulette table. They really need one of those to hit big."The problem? Most successful businesses exit through M&A, not IPOs.So if you're building a profitable company that could sell for $20-50M in a few years, VC funding might actually work against you.Tom now helps founders as a fractional CFO, matching funding strategies to realistic business goals rather than chasing the biggest check.In this episode, we explore:• Why thinking multiple rounds ahead is crucial for any capital raise • Alternative funding sources that align with M&A exits • The growing trend of buying your first business instead of starting one • How to set realistic valuation expectations • The mindset shifts that separate successful founders from those who strugglePerfect for entrepreneurs evaluating funding options and business owners planning exit strategies.• • •FOR MORE ON THIS EPISODE:https://www.coreykupfer.com/blog/tomdillon• • • FOR MORE ON TOM DILLONhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/tomdilloncfa/ https://fracfinance.com/ FOR MORE ON COREY KUPFERhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/coreykupfer/https://www.coreykupfer.com/ Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

With the new reality that my work was in fact my place of ministry, my workplace mission field, I modified my workplace commute prayer time. I still prayed for my family, but I added my bosses, my coworkers, and eventually my employees. I noticed a funny thing happening. I started to see these people differently - the way God saw them. I grew in empathy and love for them, and I really started seeing myself as a minister in my workplace. In addition to the demands of my new job, I started to serve my co-workers over and above what I was required to do. This selfless serving of others caused them to see that something was different about me. I started to see my faith relevant to my work. My paradigm was shifting, and my heart was encouraged. Who can you start praying for today?  And then watch what God does to your heart. 

It all started with my new job. Commuting 90 miles to work. I made a commitment to not turn on the radio for the morning commute. I wanted to learn how to pray. My new job had so much adventure built in, but I wanted this job to be different. I prayed for my family on the way to work and others who had specific prayer requests but then God rocked my world. One day, in my email in box, my friend Bob sent me the Today God is First devotional from Os Hillman. For the first time, I learned that God loved my work and that my workplace was my mission field. I was floored. For years I had tried to go into full-time ministry in a church, but this devotional told me that I was already in ministry at my work.  You are in your mission field at work. Let that sink in today.

Martha: Welcome to the iWork4Him Power thought for the day, we are Jim and Martha Brangenberg with iWork4Him   Jim: When you woke up today did you find yourself celebrating the first day of the work week or did you find yourself dreading it?  Martha: It seems that most of us suffer from TGIF syndrome instead of adopting the TGIM revolution. We need to start Thanking God its Monday.   Jim: you see, God designed our work to have purpose and fulfillment. He also designed it so that He could work alongside us, bringing us His wisdom along the way.  Martha: What is it going to take for you to switch from dreading Monday to celebrating it?    Jim: If you are like me, it is going to take a Romans 12:2 Paradigm Shift. We have to stop copying the Behavior and Customs of this world and allow ourselves to be transformed and allow God to change the way we think.   Martha:  Every Day your work matters to God.

What's the fastest way to get what you DON'T want?  Tell the Lord “I will NEVER _________________” Yep, just ask any other Christ follower who's made the mistake of saying something like that.  You WILL end up being exactly where YOU said you would NEVER be or DOING something you said you would never do.  Our thoughts are not God's thoughts and His ways are NOT our ways. We don't have the big picture, but God does.  So how about YOU? We're challenging you to remove the word NEVER from your vocabulary and to replace it with scripture, such as Matthew 6:33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

Harnessing AI: The Future of Work and Education   If you're still hoping AI is a trend that'll pass, you might already be behind. In this electrifying episode of Richer Soul, Steve Cunningham, founder of Simple and creator of the Simple AI Business School, joins us to unpack how to thrive in an AI-powered economy — not just survive it. Steve doesn't just teach AI. He shows people how to use it, apply it, and prove their value in a rapidly shifting landscape. With the workplace transforming faster than ever, his Learn–Apply–Prove (LAP) model is exactly what professionals, business owners, and even solopreneurs need to remain irreplaceable. This isn't about coding or becoming a data scientist. It's about clarity, confidence, and competence — and how to build those with AI tools that are already available.   Key Takeaways:  AI Will Not Replace You — But Someone Using It Will. Steve warns that the danger isn't AI itself — it's not knowing how to work alongside it. The ones who succeed will be those who embrace augmentation, not automation. Learning Alone Is a Trap — Proof Is the New Power. Knowledge is cheap. Execution is everything. That's why the LAP model focuses on not just learning, but applying your skills immediately and proving your value in real-time. Don't Be a Turkey: Recognize the Pattern Before It's Too Late. In his upcoming book, Don't Be a Turkey, Steve draws a powerful analogy: turkeys get fed every day and assume life is good… until Thanksgiving. The lesson? Disruption doesn't warn you before it arrives. Prepare now. The Fastest Way to ROI in the AI World? Simple Systems, Not More Content. Most people drown in AI content but never take action. Steve believes simplicity is the unlock, and we need fewer inputs and more structured, intentional application.   Money Learnings: Steve was raised to think like an entrepreneur — making money was natural. But he didn't learn how to keep it until much later. He realized that financial success today isn't about how much you earn — it's about how you think, especially in a world where AI can generate income with fewer resources and smarter decisions.   About Steve Cunningham: Steve Cunningham is the founder of Simple and creator of the Simple AI Business School (SABS) — the first AI-first business school in the world. With a background in law, marketing, and education, Steve has a proven track record of building tools and frameworks that help people master new skills quickly. His mission? Equip professionals to become AI-augmented high performers who are prepared for the workforce of tomorrow. His upcoming book, Don't Be a Turkey, is set to launch in 2025.   Key Discussion Points: Why traditional education is too slow for today's pace of change. The real threat of AI isn't job loss — it's skill irrelevance. Why “learners” aren't succeeding anymore — doers are. How to build AI competence without becoming technical. The new rules of credibility: results > resumes.  What professionals should focus on right now to stay employable. How solopreneurs can turn AI into a profit multiplier.   Conclusion: If you're feeling behind in the AI revolution, this episode is your reset button. Steve Cunningham doesn't just hand out theories — he provides a practical map to upskill, adapt, and lead in a transformed economy.   Links: Website: https://stevecunningham.ai/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aisteve/ X: https://x.com/stevecunningham   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Here are just a few: I am a child of God, I am Jesus' friend, I am a NEW creation, I am an heir with Christ, I am chosen, holy, and blameless before God and I have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.

How much different would our world, our nation, our state, our city, our community, our home, our workplace be?  So how about you? Are you tired of being something other than what God created you to be?  Visit us online to find resources to change your wonder-woman complex into your true calling.
