What if the most important thing about you isn't what people see—but who you are when no one's looking? This week, we're unpacking why godly character—not talent or title—is what truly qualifies someone to lead in the Church. It's a timely reminder for all of us: character still matters. And it might matter more than we think.

FEATURING: Mike Henry, Sr. MINISTRY: Follower of One What if retirement wasn’t about slowing down, but stepping into something more purposeful? In this episode of iRetire4Him, Jim and Martha Brangenberg sit down with Mike Henry, the founder of Follower of One. Now in his 60s, Mike shares how God stirred his heart not to retire from something, but to lean into a new mission: helping everyday Christians live their faith right where they are—whether that’s at work, at home, or even in line at the coffee shop. If you’ve ever wondered, “Now what?”—this conversation is full of encouragement and practical next steps. What You’ll Learn: Why retirement is a chance to choose how you serve, not just stop working. What the Follower of One community is all about, and how it equips believers to live out their faith. How “Marketplace Mission Trips” work, and why you don’t need a suitcase or passport to take one – or even a marketplace! Why your life experience matters more than ever—and how to share it with others who need it. How simple daily choices, like being present and available, can become powerful acts of ministry. How You Can Get Involved: Join a Marketplace Mission Trip Experience a weeklong “trip” that teaches you how to see your daily life as your mission field. No travel required—just a willingness to be intentional where you already are. Join the Online Community Meet others who are choosing to live their faith with purpose—retirees, working professionals, students, and everyone in between. Lead a Small Group at Your Church Use Follower of One’s six-week discussion guide to start a faith-at-work group. It's simple to lead and a great way to pour into other generations. Support the Ministry Financially Follower of One is donor-supported. Your contributions help equip more believers to live on mission every day. Bring the Mission Trip Experience to Your Church Help your church expand its impact by offering a Marketplace Mission Trip alongside traditional mission opportunities. Follower of One makes it easy to implement and customize your church’s needs. Why It’s Worth Your Time: Retirement doesn’t mean your influence stops. In fact, it may just be the beginning of your most impactful season yet. You’ve got wisdom, experience, and time—three powerful tools for Kingdom work. Whether you’re 55 or 85, Follower of One offers a simple, practical way to keep making a difference.

What you believe shapes how you live. In a world full of conflicting messages and cultural confusion, Jason kicks off our new series in the book of Titus by showing why sound doctrine is more than just head knowledge—it's a roadmap for real life. Through Paul's opening words to Titus, we'll explore how right belief leads to godly living, how eternal hope anchors us in the everyday hustle, and why the truth of the Gospel is worth building your life on.

In this final episode of our Text-Driven Small Groups series, Pastor Tim and Klayton discuss how to manage a small group classroom.

Episode Summary Small group time is where the most powerful reading growth can happen — but if you're feeling overwhelmed by what to use, how to organize it, or whether you have the “right stuff,” this episode will give you clarity (and a deep breath). I've spent years trying all the things — leveled tubs, centers, flashcards, flip charts… you name it. But over time, I realized the most effective small group reading block didn't require more. It just needed the right few tools and the routines to go with them.   Full Show Notes Here

May 25, 2025—You want to grow. You want to change. But willpower isn't enough.This week, Duane unpacks the powerful truth in Romans 8—that real transformation happens when we stop relying on ourselves and start depending on the Spirit.

And holy, holy friendship.They talk candidly about:What it's like to be truly seen and receivedHow growth feels less scary when it's sharedThe gift of spiritual sisterhood in singlenessWhy they never stopped meeting—long after the program ended“You don't have to explain yourself to people who've forgotten the ache. This group just gets it.”  – Courtney“These women are the sisters I always dreamed of.” – Danielle“I don't have to have my life together to be loved. These women have shown me that.” – Annie"Before TIS, I had never had the honor of sitting with someone in all the crap. And it's more beautiful than fixing it—just being able to sit with them in it." -AbbyThis conversation might be exactly what your heart has been waiting for._____________________You're invited to 2 FREE Workshops coming up this June 5 & 10!!!
