What is your life? A mist? A vapor? Something more? Less?In James 4, James turns from the war within us to the way we live in the world. He confronts two universal sins: the individual sin of judging and condemning one another — exalting ourselves to lawgivers — and the collective sin of presuming we are in control of our lives, planning our futures as if we were the source of our own present and future.James calls us to humble ourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt us. Not self-flagellation, but the joyous irony that when we are exposed, unhidden, and vulnerably honest before the One who is obviously greater, we are not condemned but conformed. We grieve our sins (plural) and the sin-full state of the world (Sin, singular), but through Jesus our brokenness is transformed, redeemed as faith, and made visible in how we live and love one another.Questions for Reflection:Where have I condemned others because I failed to grieve my sins?How can my grieving Sin lead to my submitting to and discerning of God's will?What would be different tomorrow if I humbled myself through faith at work within me?Scripture References: James 4:11-17, James 4:7-10, James 1:2-4, James 1:17, James 1:18, James 1:21, James 1:25, James 2:10, James 2:12, James 2:13, James 3:13, Romans 12:2, Psalm 39:1-7, James 5:7-8Voices/Quotes: A.W.

Episode Summary Missions do not begin only across an ocean; they begin wherever God has placed a believer. In this GoMission interview, retired police officer Bill Chaney tells Mark Gillmore how weekly soulwinning became a way of life and followed him into daily police work. His testimony of compassionate witness, workplace opposition, and trust under authority challenges every Christian to reject the fear of man and speak for Christ where they are. Topics Discussed Discipleship and weekly soulwinning Bringing the gospel into daily police work Showing compassion to vulnerable people Facing discipline after sharing a gospel tract Responding respectfully to authority while trusting God Support from fellow officers How God reopened a closed door for witness Key Takeaways Every workplace and daily setting can become a mission field. Consistent discipleship builds habits of faithful Christian service. Personal evangelism begins with seeing people and caring about their greatest need. Respect for authority and confidence in God are not opposites. No closed door is beyond the ability of God to reopen. Courage begins with the next faithful opportunity to speak for Christ.

What keeps you from peace?In week 9 of our series on James, we arrive at one of the most confrontational passages in the New Testament. James asks, "What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you?" His answer is not about the other person, the circumstances, or even the truth — it is about the war within us: frustrated desire met with twisted passion.This sermon moves through James 4:1-12, confronting the way we ask God without submitting to Him, the way we pursue lesser loves as if they were ends, and the way we treat God as a genie or a distant power instead of the One who longs for us in covenant.James accuses us of adultery — not first against ourselves or others, but against the One faithful to us. And yet even there, grace is greater. At the heart of the work of faith is a humility that does not think less of ourselves, but thinks of ourselves less — so that we find ourselves totally infatuated and consumed by the One who gives all to us.Questions for Reflection:Who am I devoted to? Myself? God? Someone/thing else?In what ways does my faith lead to my humility, and therefore, to grace?What would tomorrow look like if I responded devotedly to faith at work within me?Scripture References: James 4:1-12, James 1:3-4, James 1:9, James 1:17, James 1:19-20, James 3:13-18, James 3:14, Hebrews 11:1, Matthew 5:21-22, Matthew 11:28-29, Psalm 24:1-6Voices/Quotes: Douglas Moo, TPNT Commentary on JamesSermon Notes & Liturgy | James: Faith at Work---Tired of consumer Christianity?

How do you know if you are living wisely?James does not ask for your credentials. He asks for evidence. "Who is wise and understanding among you?" is not a question looking for a particular set of ideas or even beliefs — it is a question looking for a particular way of life. In James 3:13-18 there are two kinds of wisdom. One is earthly and unspiritual, carrying bitter jealousy and self-interested rivalry underneath it. It can be factually accurate and still be false to the truth. The other comes down from above: pure, peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. If our seeing and reacting produces disorder in our relationships with God, others, the earth, and ourselves, we are building on sand. Where a life sows peace, a harvest of righteousness follows. The test is not how much we know. It is whether our lives author peace, manifest righteousness (right-relationships), and embody the Kingdom of Heaven.Questions for Reflection:Where do envy and self-interest exist within my heart?Am I authoring peace in my roles, responsibilities, and relationships? How, or why not?What would tomorrow look like if I responded wisely to faith at work within me?Scripture References: James 3:13-18, James 1:5, James 1:8, James 1:15, James 1:17-22, James 2:1-13, James 3:9-12, James 4:4-7, James 5:7-8, Psalm 37:1-11, Matthew 7:24-27.Sermon Notes & Liturgy | James: Faith at Work--Tired of consumer Christianity?

In this week's historic episode, we continue revisiting our Christian Faith at Work series, looking back at a conversation with Don Menendez, who serves on Beeson's advisory board and is the CEO of White Plume Technologies.

What if the problem with our words is deeper than just saying the wrong thing?In James 3:1-12, we are invited to feel the weight of the tongue. Our words matter in our journey of faith, our work, and our community. They can bless God while wounding people made in his likeness. They can become a fire that divides, or they can participate in the healing work of the Word made flesh.This sermon traces James' warning against using words for our own elevation, his call to be quick to listen and slow to speak, and his deeper invitation: not the suppression of words, but the transformation of character. We cannot tame our tongues through technique. Instead, we bring our divided hearts, humbly and honestly to God and depend on Jesus, the Word of truth, to transform us.Questions for Reflection:What do my words reveal about myself?How do my words bless other people?What would tomorrow look like if I grounded my words in listening to Jesus?Scripture References: James 3:1-12, James 1:18-19, James 1:26-27, Genesis 1:1-3, Genesis 1:26, Genesis 2:19, John 1:1-3, Acts 2:2-4, Revelation 12:9-10, Psalm 119:105-112, Philippians 2:12-16.Sermon Notes & Liturgy | James: Faith at Work---Tired of consumer Christianity?

In this week's historic episode, we revisit a conversation with Beeson Advisory Board member John Halsey Wood Jr., owner of Wood Fruitticher, for the second part of our Christian Faith at Work series.

What if faith was never meant to be a private belief you keep separate from the rest of your life?In week 5 of James: Faith At Work, we sit with one of the more difficult and controversial passages in the New Testament: James 2:14-26. James asks, to paraphrase, "What good is a claim of faith while ignoring a brother or sister in need?" He presses against a faith that separates us from our neighbors, from ourselves, and from God--faith that merely confesses the truth, all while leaving daily life untouched.This teaching reflects on James' warning about dead faith, his examples of Abraham and Rahab, and the deeper beauty underneath the warning: living faith is not performance. It is not self-justification. It is the whole person moving toward Christ. Faith is brought to fullness as the implanted word works through us in love, mercy, provision, and ordinary obedience.Questions for Reflection:What areas of my life have I separated from my faith?How is my faith at work in my daily life and community?What would tomorrow look like if I responded to faith at work within me?Scripture References: James 2:14-26, James 1:18, James 1:21, James 1:27, Matthew 25:34-40, John 13:35, Genesis 15:6, Genesis 22, Romans 3:28, Deuteronomy 6:4, Philippians 2:12-13, Psalm 107:1-9Voices/Quotes: Douglas J.

In this week's historic episode, we revisit a conversation with Mark Neaman about his work in healthcare and consultation and how being a Christian impacts his work.

You give everything to your career, then wonder why success feels empty. Eric Himes climbed the corporate ladder for nearly two decades, flew over 120 flights a year, and hit burnout before he found a different way to lead. This episode shows you how to build faith into your work without losing your drive. Key Discussion Points Eric describes 19 years in corporate life, 1,500 flights, and 150 to 200 nights away from home each year, before his personal life fell apart. He explains how surrendering to Christ at age 39 changed his identity and freed him from tying his worth to performance. Eric outlines the Inspired Culture framework, built to measure and grow a team's mindset weekly instead of relying on annual reviews. He names three common leadership masks, the silent sufferer, the self-reliant leader, and the workaholic, and the cost each one carries. Eric shares a client story where a leader and his wife lost over 130 pounds combined, and his branch grew to the top customer service rank in the world. The Inspired Culture Summit runs November 16 and 17, and the 50 Masks of Leadership assessment launches soon. About the Guest Eric Himes is the founder of Inspo Strategic Advising and Coaching and the creator of the Inspired Culture framework. After nearly two decades in corporate leadership, including over 120 flights a year and the personal cost of burnout, he built a new approach to leadership rooted in faith. Eric now helps leaders and organizations grow personally, professionally, and relationally through the Inspired Culture system.

Your faith isn't meant to stay inside the church walls. In this episode, Jay challenges men to surrender every area of life to God and discover that work, family, and even pain become sacred when lived for His glory.

Many of our churches ignore our tendencies towards partiality, justify our favoritism, and excuse our cliquish exclusivity, labeling it 'fellowship.' But what if this is an afront to God, who, after all, "shows no partiality" (Rom. 2:11)? What if communities filled with partiality actually betray their professed faith in Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory?In week 4 of our summer series, James: Faith At Work, we sit with James 2:1-13 and the uncomfortable mirror it holds up to the church. This teaching begins by drawing our attention to the Greek word for partiality in verse 1, which carries the idea of "receiving the face" - judging a person by their visible surface, social status, usefulness, wealth, poverty, polish, burden, or perceived return. But faith is supposed to retrain our sight so that we no longer see the other person--rich or poor--as a category to manage, a resource to exploit, or an inconvenience to avoid. Faith at work sees beyond mere appearance, beyond the sur-face, and recognizes the face of the other as a summons to love.This message walks verse by verse through James' warning against favoritism, the royal law to "love your neighbor as yourself," and the law of liberty that frees us from the old economy of fear, status, and self-protection, and arrives at the fundamental Gospel truth that mercy triumphs over judgement. Lest we mistakenly think mercy is mere sentiment, we are reminded that mercy is love becoming visible, love made manifestly present, in the face of suffering--like Jesus, who was the vehicle of God's mercy.Questions for Reflection:Whose presence makes me feel important, and whose presence makes me feel burdened? Why?Do I see by the worldly facade, or by the divine Glory?Has the mercy I have received become visible over judgment?How am I responding to the faith at work within me?Scripture References: James 2:1-13, Psalm 25:1-10, Matthew 5:3, Matthew 22:34-40, Deuteronomy 6:4-5, 2 Corinthians 5:16-21Voices/Quotes: Emmanuel Levinas, Totality and Infinity; Douglas J.

In this week's historic episode, we continue looking back on a series on Christian faith at work, revisiting a conversation with attorney Clark Watson, who shares about his work in law and how his Christian faith informs his work.

Pastors in expensive cities often cannot afford stable housing on ministry salaries. That financial pressure quietly threatens their ability to serve. If you want to see your faith show up in practical, tangible ways at work and with your money, this episode gives you a real example of what that looks like. Key Discussion Points Nicole explains how the Aslan Housing Foundation builds down payment assistance programs for pastors, using church investors, donor-advised funds, and self-directed IRAs to fund stable housing without competing with the church's general giving. She describes a core operating value: do nothing about staff without staff. Surveys go out to both church leadership and pastoral staff before any housing strategy is built, so the people with the actual need have a voice in the solution. Nicole unpacks what she calls a triple bottom line for investors: market-rate financial returns, a stabilized ministry, and a more secure pastor and family. She talks about how she brings her faith into secular professional settings without forcing it, including sending a simple email to a real estate team in Hawaii during flooding to let them know she was praying for their safety. She and host Addison Williams discuss how Christians in any profession hold two marketplace roles: what they do with their time at work and what they do with their money outside of it. About the Guest Nicole Marie Bergeron is the founder and CEO of Aslan Housing Foundation, a California-based nonprofit that helps churches develop housing strategies for their pastoral staff. She holds a joint degree in law and public policy and spent two decades in philanthropy and social impact work before launching Aslan in 2018. Her background gives her a systems-level view of a problem most church leaders have never named out loud.

A plant grown without wind grows weak. James says your faith is no different — the friction of an ordinary week may be the very thing God is using to strengthen and mature both you and your faith.In week 2 of our look at James we walk through James 1:19-27: How do we move from merely agreeing with our faith to participating in it fully? We consider the work of faith and faith at work, as we grow up into Christ-likeness — not as performance, but for maturation.Questions for Reflection:How am I responding to faith? Am I quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger?Do I live true to myself in Christ, participating with him in the labors of my day — free to be self-giving and free from all that binds?What would tomorrow look like if I responded to faith, and lived true?Scripture References: James 1:19-27, James 1:4, James 5:7-8, Psalm 37:1-11, Romans 3:28, Philippians 2:13, Matthew 11:25-30, Matthew 13:1-23, Acts 2Voices/Quotes: Martin Luther (on the placement of James in the canon); Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals (communion liturgy)Sermon Notes & Liturgy | James: Faith at WorkTired of consumer Christianity?

Working out our Faith at Work and Everyday Life

Sheltered, undisturbed plants may grow fast and even tall, but the result is a weak, fragile, and easily uprooted plant. By contrast, plants exposed to rain, wind, and the occasional disturbance grow strong, stable, and sturdy. Your soul works the same way.In this opening sermon of our summer series through the letter of James, we walk through James 1:1–18 and the old wisdom he himself leans into: that the trials we face are not meant to destroy us, but to activate and strengthen what has been given to us. We consider why the testing of faith produces steadfastness, what it means to ask God for wisdom without a divided soul, why the life resourced by appearances withers like grass, and the crucial difference between a trial and a temptation — one external, one a heart unsubmitted. Faith does its work not in one dramatic moment but over many ordinary ones, completing us — maturing us toward our purposed end — because what God starts in history and in us, he finishes in history through us.Questions for Reflection:James contends that the disturbances of life help ensure our maturation and completion. Where in your daily relations and responsibilities might God be activating and purifying your faith right now?When something hard hits, is your first instinct to face it as a trial that strengthens, or to read it as God against you? What would it look like to "count it all joy"?Where are you living divided — "double-souled" — tossed between believing and not believing? What wisdom do you need to ask God for, without doubting?Scripture References: James 1:1–18; Psalm 63:1–8; Proverbs 24:16; Acts 2:36; 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12; Psalm 1:3Voices/Quotes: Douglas Moo Commentary on James; John Calvin Commentary on the Catholic Epistles; Keith McCurdy Raising Sturdy Kids; Jonathan Haidt The Anxious GenerationSermon Notes & Liturgy | James: Faith at WorkChrist City Church gathers every Sunday at 10:10 AM at 642 Brookhurst Dr., Dallas, TX 75218; in the chapel at LHB. Come rest in Jesus.

Most Christians know they are called to love the people around them. Fewer think about what that means for the person who frustrates them in a meeting on Tuesday. Jason Davis stormed out of one of those meetings years ago, and what happened next reshaped how he shows up at work. This episode is for you if you want to bring your faith into daily workplace situations without preaching, burning out, or compartmentalizing it to Sunday mornings. What you will hear in this episode: Why prayer is not just a morning and evening habit. Jason walks through what it looks like to pray on demand throughout the workday, before a hard conversation, after a difficult meeting, and for the people around you. The real story behind his shift from complaining about a coworker to becoming an encourager. Including what happened years later when that same coworker asked about him. Why your coworkers qualify as neighbors in the biblical sense, and what that means for how you show up Monday through Friday. How to tell the difference between being led by God toward a decision and chasing the allure of entrepreneurship or a new opportunity on your own timeline. Why mentorship matters more than motivation if you are serious about growing in business or in your faith walk at work.

If you think your faith belongs at church and your work belongs at the office, you are already dividing something God never intended to split. The tension between belief and daily work is real, but it is not unsolvable. This episode gives you a practical framework for living your faith from Monday to Friday, beyond Sunday morning alone. Key Discussion Points The ART framework (Awareness, Responsibility, Tenacity): transformation requires action, not belief alone, because as Scripture says, faith without works is dead. Identity before purpose: God calls you to be someone before He calls you to do something, and getting that order wrong leads to drift. The 60-to-1 rule from aviation: one degree of course deviation compounds into a major miss over distance. Dan applies this to daily rhythms of faith, prayer, and strategic thinking at work. How to share your faith at work without being a theologian. Dan's simple framework: before Jesus, when Jesus happened, and after Jesus. Servant leadership in practice: what the Chick-fil-A inverted pyramid teaches about leading through serving, regardless of your title. Dan Pogue is an executive coach and leadership development expert who specializes in inspiring transformation in leaders and organizations. Drawing on over two decades of experience in the United States Air Force, corporate leadership, and roles as an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC), Master Certified Financial Coach, and founder of Thriving Leaders Group, he equips clients with the emotional intelligence, strategic clarity, and business acumen needed for lasting change.

By diving into the original Greek context where pistis (faith) is inextricably linked to erga (works), we uncover a profound biblical truth: genuine faith is not mere cognitive assent, but an ontological transformation that must manifest in outward action. Historically, the early Church shook the world because their faith was a bold public testimony rather than a private sentiment. Pastor Barksdale invites you to move beyond "passive piety" and embrace a theology that makes the invisible power of God visible through your daily service. Whether you are navigating high-volume environments or corporate boardrooms, discover how to embody the Gospel where it matters most. Join the movement at Logos Grace Church, where we don't just hear the Word—we put our faith into motion!

What if the greatest threat to healthcare isn't a broken system — it's a dehumanized one? In this episode of Experiencing Healthcare, Jamie Preston and Your Health CEO Matt Staub wrestle with a deceptively simple idea from Harvard Business School Professor Ryan Buell: service is the business of people helping people. Sparked by Matt's experience at an Athena Health executive leadership forum, this is a conversation about what it truly means to serve — in a world where technology promises to do it faster, cheaper, and at scale. Key topics covered: Why you can never fully take people out of a service industry — and what happens to care quality when you try How ambient listening technology like Mobius is using AI to restore human connection in the exam room, not replace it The ICU nurses who used tough love to get a post-heart-surgery patient walking — and what that story reveals about what genuine service really looks like The "can vs. should" question every healthcare leader must ask before deploying new technology How to show up and serve others with excellence, even on your hardest personal days Healthcare will always evolve — but Matt and Jamie make a compelling case that the human at the center of care is the one thing worth protecting above all else. This one's worth the listen.

Larry Tribble spent years feeling alone in his faith at work. In grad school and in corporate leadership, he struggled to find the right way to talk about what he believed without alienating the people around him. Then he found Follower of One and a different model for living out faith in the marketplace. In this episode, Larry sits down with host Addison Williams to talk about what changed, how he brought his entire church on board with a marketplace mission trip, and why loving people well is the most effective form of evangelism. Episode Highlights Larry shares how he picked up the electric bass at age 50 after asking his worship leader how he could serve more at church. He describes the isolation he felt in grad school and corporate environments where faith conversations felt unwelcome or risky. Larry explains why fear holds more people back than actual opposition. He points out that telling your own story is something no one can argue with. The conversation covers why traditional evangelism models felt uncomfortable for Larry and how the Follower of One approach gave him a practical alternative. Larry talks about organizing a marketplace mission trip through his church, helping members realize God placed them in their workplaces on purpose. He highlights a key insight from the Follower of One community: loving people means being willing to be inconvenienced on their behalf. Larry breaks down why building relationships first creates the trust needed for deeper conversations about faith. The episode closes with Larry's encouragement to start each workday with a simple prayer of availability, surrendering the day to God's direction before walking through the door. If you feel alone in your faith at work, Larry's message is simple: join a community of people trying to do the same thing. Follower of One exists for this purpose. Visit the Follower of One website to connect with the community, join a marketplace mission trip, or find Larry on LinkedIn.

How to Grow Your Business With SEO (Without Social Media) — Faith Hanan on Her Faith at WorkEpisode OverviewAre you tired of posting on Instagram and TikTok every day — only to watch your content die in 24 hours? In this episode of Her Faith at Work, host Jan Touchberry sits down with Faith Hanan, accidental SEO expert, copywriter, barrel racer, and mom of three, to talk about one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) tools for growing a Christian woman's business online: search engine optimization.Faith has not posted on social media for her business in over three years — and her business is still growing. In this conversation, she breaks down why SEO is the "crockpot of marketing," how to find the right keywords for your business, and what tools you can use today even if your budget is $0.About Faith HananFaith Hanan is an accidental SEO expert, copywriter, podcaster, homeschool mom, worship leader, and competitive barrel racer. She runs a copywriting and SEO agency and teaches faith-filled entrepreneurs how to scale their online businesses using SEO, keywords, and blogging — all in less than 20 hours a week.She is the host of the Simple SEO & Marketing podcast and creator of the Simple SEO Framework (SSF) group coaching program.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat SEO actually is — and why it shortens your sales cycle by putting you in front of "hot leads" instead of cold audiencesWhy social media content has a half-life of less than 24 hours (and what to do instead)How Faith hasn't posted on social media for her business in 3+ years — and still growsThe #1 mistake entrepreneurs make with keywords (hint: you're speaking a different language than your customers)Why targeting 120 highly specific monthly searches beats chasing 10,000 broad onesThe free tools you can start using today: Ubersuggest and Google Search ConsoleHow to know if your SEO is actually workingFaith's simple framework: get your core pages optimized first, then add SEO-rich blog contentHow to write an SEO-optimized blog post in 90 minutes and maintain your traffic machine in 2 hours a weekKey TakeawaysWhat is SEO and why does it matter for small business owners?SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps search engines like Google understand what your business does and surface your website to the right people at the right time. Unlike social media, which dies within 24 hours, SEO-optimized content can drive traffic for years. Faith describes it as "the crockpot of marketing" — you do the work upfront and results compound over time.How do I find the right keywords for my business?Faith recommends a two-step process:Start on paper — brainstorm words and phrases your ideal client would type into Google when searching for the problem you solve.Then validate with a tool — Ubersuggest (free version) connects directly to Google's API and gives you real search data, not estimates.Key insight: A keyword with only 120 monthly searches from your exact ideal client is far more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 monthly searches dominated by Nike and Under Armour.How long does SEO take to work?Most businesses start seeing results within 1.5 to 3 months, with more significant momentum around 6 months. The speed depends on your website's current health, how long you've had a web presence, and how competitive your keywords are.Can I do SEO without being on social media?Yes. Faith is living proof. She stopped posting on social media for her business over three years ago and relies entirely on SEO and long-form content (blogs, podcasts). Because SEO-optimized content continues to be indexed and discovered for years, it works for you 24/7 — even while you sleep.Episode Timestamps00:00 Introduction — Meet Faith Hanan02:25 Faith's background: SEO agency, homeschooling, and barrel racing03:55 Jan's personal SEO journey — 6 months in, seeing momentum04:32 SEO is the “crockpot of marketing” — why people quit too soon05:00 What SEO actually does (and why it shortcuts the sales process)06:33 The social media rat race and why SEO is a better long-term strategy07:13 Faith hasn't posted on social media for 3+ years — and it started as a church fast08:10 The half-life of social media vs. the longevity of blog content09:17 How to get started with SEO without getting overwhelmed09:45 The keyword language gap: how you talk vs. how clients search10:57 Why small, specific keywords beat high-volume broad terms13:40 Free and affordable keyword tools — Ubersuggest deep dive15:00 Start keyword research on paper first, then use tools16:36 How to know if SEO is working — Google Analytics & Search Console17:00 Optimize your core website pages before your blog19:16 Broken links, analytics, and getting coaching (barrel racing analogy)22:05 About the Simple SEO Framework (SSF) group coaching program24:42 Special discount code for Her Faith at Work listeners: JAN26:11 Where to find Faith — FaithHanan.com/framework26:25 The Workflow Exchange — SEO for blogging workflow from FaithResources & Links MentionedFaith Hanan's websiteSimple SEO Framework (SSF) Group CoachingKeyword Research Kickstart (affordable beginner course)Simple SEO & Marketing PodcastThe Workflow Exchange (free SEO for Blogging workflow)Ubersuggest (free keyword research tool)Google Search Console (free)Google Analytics (free)

What if the most powerful ministry in your life happens between meetings, on a job site, or at the ball field? John Martin sits down with Paul Lackie—business owner, husband, father, and prophetic voice—to explore how surrender and trust can turn ordinary moments into catalysts for hope and healing. No hype, no formulas: just a clear-eyed look at living led by the Holy Spirit when plans fall apart and people are hungry for something real.Paul shares how he integrates faith with landscaping, real estate, and community leadership without diluting either. He breaks down the difference between church expressions and marketplace wisdom, showing how language, timing, and presence open doors that pressure would slam shut. We revisit the story of Peter and John at the Beautiful Gate as a lens for modern life: stay interruptible, act in faith, and let God handle the outcome. That's how one faithful moment can spark a ripple effect across families, teams, and cities.We also demystify the prophetic. God's words aren't magic—they're invitations. Scripture becomes a roadmap when you “marry” it with action. Paul offers personal encouragements for listeners battling discouragement and longing for family restoration, and he challenges leaders to unite revelation with wisdom so their influence strengthens rather than fractures communities. We close with three anchors to keep you steady in uncertain times: immerse in the Bible, plant in a Christ-centered church, and commit to a small group where accountability and care run deep.If you're ready to see your work as worship and your schedule as an open door for God to move, this conversation will give you language, courage, and next steps.

Where will you choose to be interruptible this week?For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

In Matthew 10:16, Christ told His disciples to be “wise” and “innocent” when they went “in the midst of wolves.” Today David Goetsch will show us how to be both wise and innocent as we work among people who sometimes behave like wolves. Temptation, greed, dishonesty, and misguided ambition have always presented challenges for Christians in the workplace. Add secular bias, political correctness and persecution to the mix, and the modern workplace becomes a foreboding environment for Christians to navigate. How, then, do we earn a living without compromising our faith?

This Labor Day weekend, James shares a reminder that our work is not separate from our faith — it's central to it. From the beginning, God gave work as a gift. Genesis tells us that man was placed in the garden to work and take care of it and Paul reminds us in Romans 12 that offering our “everyday, ordinary life” — our going-to-work, eating, sleeping, and walking-around life — is true worship before God.   Work is more than productivity; it's creativity, discovery, and an opportunity to partner with God in renewing culture. Whether you're in education, hospitality, health or leading in your industry, your work matters. It is holy to the Lord.   As we celebrate Labor Day, this message invites us to see our workplace as our worship space, and to live with fresh faith that God's Spirit is poured out not only in church services, but in boardrooms and classrooms. Our Monday is as sacred as our Sunday, and God is writing His story through our everyday.

God taught me how to shift the paradigm of work into a place of work interlaced with ministry, a workplace mission field. I prayed for those I worked with, I served them over and above, I befriended them, and I prayed with them. But I realized, none of these actions mattered if my work wasn't excellent. If I wasn't a great employee, with great work production, and great work relationships, no one would care about my faith. Others needed to see that my faith was real and that it applied to all of my life. Excellence needs to define who we are at work. Looking back, I made mistakes but I prayed with tons of people, made lifelong friends and even participated in leading one of my bosses to Jesus and another to rededication.  iWork4Him was born out of this story, can you say iwork4Him?
