What does it look like to keep going when life gets hard – not by ignoring the struggle, but by allowing God to use it to build us? Leslie Bosserman joins Jim and Martha to talk about emotional endurance, the skills we can develop to persevere through difficult seasons, and why our emotional health matters to our witness as workplace believers. 

Drawing from her own journey through discouragement and being “a blanket burrito,” as well as years of coaching and training leaders, Leslie explains that emotional endurance is a lifelong, skills-based practice. It involves learning how to respond to failure, cultivate hope, recognize triggers, build resilience, and keep moving forward with purpose – even when circumstances are difficult.

In this episode, you'll hear: 

• Why emotional endurance is especially important for Christians who want their lives and work to reflect the hope of Jesus 

• How to recognize and respond to emotional triggers instead of allowing them to control our behavior 

• The connection between emotions, thoughts, actions, behavior and character 

• Why building margin and practicing rest are essential for emotional endurance (Leslie recommends the book Margin by Dr. Richard Swenson) 

• How Leslie's "ta-da list" can help us recognize progress and celebrate the small victories instead of constantly focusing on what's left on the to-do list 

• How failure can become an opportunity to learn and grow 

• Why hope is sometimes difficult, and why Christians can have an eternal perspective even in hard places 

• Leslie’s intentionality behind working and living in secular spaces: “It’s hard to be a light in a room full of light bulbs.” 

Leslie's book Emotional Endurance brings together biblical principles, science and practical skills to help us persevere through difficult seasons with hope and purpose. If you're ready to grow in emotional endurance – or know someone who is – get a copy of Emotional Endurance and work through it for yourself.

What happens when we stop measuring success by what we can accomplish and start asking what God wants to accomplish through us? 

In this episode of iWork4Him, Jim and Martha Brangenberg sit down with internationally known speaker, entrepreneur, author, and evangelist Nick Vujicic. Born without arms or legs, Nick openly shares about the hopelessness he experienced as a child – and how God transformed his heart and gave him a hope and purpose he previously couldn't imagine. 

Nick also challenges Christian business owners and leaders to see the marketplace as a powerful mission field. Rather than viewing KPI simply as a business measurement, he introduces Kingdom Purpose Impact, the idea that Christian leaders can steward their businesses, resources, relationships, gifts, and influence to make a tangible difference for God's Kingdom.

In this episode, you'll hear: 

• How Nick wrestled with God's goodness and purpose as a child 

• The role his parents' persistent love played in giving him hope 

• Why an attitude of gratitude and a daily walk with Jesus have been foundational in Nick's life 

• How Christian business leaders can use their influence and resources for Kingdom purposes 

• Why the marketplace may be one of the greatest opportunities for the Church to make an impact 

• The difference between simply giving money away and pursuing mission-aligned investments and initiatives 

• Nick's vision for bringing Christian business leaders together to address real needs in their communities 

• An introduction to Nick's F Framework: faith, family, friends, fitness, finance, and fun... all leading to fulfillment! 

Attend the KPI Summit 2026 

Nick is bringing Christian business leaders together for the KPI Summit: Kingdom Purpose Impact on September 26th in Plano, Texas. 

This isn't intended to be just another business conference. Nick's vision is to bring 500 Christian business leaders together to build relationships, connect resources and gifts, identify needs in their communities, and take meaningful action together. One of the phenomenal speakers will be former iWork4Him guest, Sean Kouplen of Regent Bank.

Every meaningful calling involves risk. Whether you're launching a new initiative, leading through change, or simply stepping into greater obedience at work, you'll eventually face the unknown. 

In this episode, business strategist and author Susan Schramm explains why risk isn't something followers of Christ should avoid – it's something we should learn to navigate with wisdom and faith. Drawing from decades of leadership experience in corporations, nonprofits, and ministry, Susan shares practical principles for moving big ideas forward, helping others embrace change, and avoiding the hidden people-side pitfalls that derail even the best strategies. 

If God has placed an idea on your heart or is calling you into something new, this conversation will encourage you to stop playing it safe and start taking faithful steps forward. 

In this episode, you'll hear: 

• Why faith and risk are inseparable in the life of a believer 

• How Scripture encourages us to take risks with God, not apart from Him 

• Why the "people side of risk" determines whether ideas succeed or fail 

• How leaders can create alignment instead of silent resistance 

• What the Parable of the Talents teaches about faithful stewardship and courage 

• Why avoiding difficult conversations can become the greatest risk of all 

• Practical questions to ask before pursuing your next big idea 

• How to build a community that strengthens your vision instead of carrying it alone 

God rarely calls His people to comfort. He calls them to faithful obedience! Whether you're leading a business, serving on a team, or sensing God inviting you into something new, this episode will help you approach uncertainty with confidence, wisdom, and trust in the One who goes before you. Check out Susan’s book Fast Track Your Big Idea! for more on this topic of risk taking!

How do you connect what you believe on Sunday with the complicated people decisions you face on Monday? 

In this episode of iWork4Him, Jim and Martha Brangenberg talk with HR executive and author Brett Billups about what it looks like to apply biblical wisdom to the everyday realities of Human Resources. From hiring and performance reviews to difficult conversations and terminations, Brett explains how Scripture provides practical guidance for leading people with both truth and grace.  

Whether you're in HR, lead a team, own a business, or influence people in any capacity, you'll discover that God has much more to say about managing people than you might expect. 

What You'll Hear 

• Why HR should be about people first and why that makes it a natural place to live out your faith  

• How Brett's journey from rule-following religion to a relationship with Christ transformed the way he leads  

• Why biblical principles work in the workplace – even when people don't realize they come from Scripture  

• How 1 Samuel 16:7 shapes a biblical hiring process: screen for technical qualifications but hire the heart 

• Interview questions that uncover character, including asking about a candidate's hobbies and "hot buttons" 

• How Matthew 7:1-2 changes the way leaders approach performance reviews by using the same yardstick for themselves that they use for others 

• Why consistent one-on-one meetings can become opportunities for discipleship instead of simply accountability  

• A powerful lesson from one of Brett's biggest leadership regrets, and why grace and mercy matter in difficult HR decisions  

• How biblical leadership leads to healthier cultures, stronger employee engagement, and better organizational outcomes  

When we begin treating people the way Christ does, our workplaces change. Biblical HR isn't about adding religion to the office. It's about living out biblical principles in the way we hire, develop, encourage, correct, and care for people every day.

What happens to your company's mission when you're no longer leading it? 

Many Christian business leaders spend years building a thriving, Christ-centered culture, but very few prepare for what happens after they step away. In this episode of iWork4Him, Jim Brangenberg talks with leadership consultant and author Becca Spradlin about how Kingdom-minded organizations can avoid mission drift and intentionally preserve their culture for generations. 

Drawing from her new book Lead on Mission, Becca shares lessons from companies that successfully integrated faith into their leadership as well as others that slowly lost their way. Together, they discuss leadership succession, hiring, ownership transitions, governance, and why culture isn't something you can assume will survive on its own. 

If you want your business to make an eternal impact – not just while you're leading it, but for decades to come – this conversation is for you! 

What You'll Hear 

• Why leaders must model the values they expect others to follow 

• How companies like ServiceMaster, Correct Craft, and Coca-Cola Consolidated illustrate both mission success and mission drift 

• The dangers of bringing in leaders who don't understand your organization's culture 

• Why leadership succession should begin years before it's needed 

• How ownership, governance, and leadership must stay aligned to preserve a company's mission 

• Practical wisdom for hiring executives who fit your values, not just competency requirements 

• What Christian business owners should consider before selling their companies 

• Why intentional planning is essential for protecting Kingdom culture 

• Becca's encouragement for leaders to remain deeply rooted in Christ while making difficult business decisions

• How God used seasons of refinement to shape Krystal's leadership journey  

• The importance of building organizations that prioritize people and culture over transactions  

• Practical ways leaders can prepare before their faith is publicly tested

What if God is preparing leaders the world has never heard of to shape the future of nations? 

In this thought-provoking episode of iWork4Him, Jim and Martha connct with entrepreneur and author Art Serna to discuss a bold vision: God is raising up a new generation of kingdom-minded leaders – people who will steward extraordinary influence and resources, not for personal success, but for His purposes. 

Rather than focusing on wealth itself, this conversation explores what it means to become the kind of person God can trust with influence. From biblical examples like David, Joseph, and Esther to today's rapidly changing landscape of technology and artificial intelligence, Art challenges believers to think beyond personal ambition and embrace God's bigger kingdom vision. 

Whether you're leading a business, serving in your workplace, raising a family, or simply seeking God's direction, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on faithfulness, stewardship, and preparing for the opportunities God may place before you. 

In this episode, you'll hear: 

• About the vision God gave Art to write the book The Unknowns Rising: When God Unleashes the New Billionaire Class 

• Why stewardship always begins with the condition of the heart  

• What Scripture teaches about preparing for greater influence  

• Why God often chooses unlikely and unknown people to accomplish His purposes  

• How AI and emerging technologies can become tools for kingdom impact  

• The difference between pursuing wealth and pursuing God's calling  

• Why every believer – not just future millionaires or billionaires – should care about this message  

• How faithful stewardship today prepares us for greater responsibility tomorrow  

God isn't simply looking for successful people. He's looking for faithful stewards. No matter your current role or resources, your workplace is one of the primary places where He develops your character and prepares you for greater kingdom impact. The question isn't how much you've been given today – it's whether you're becoming someone He can trust with whatever comes next.

Jesus talked more about the Kingdom of God than the church... so why do so many Christians overlook what Kingdom living actually means? 

In this episode of iWork4Him, Jim and Martha Brangenberg sit down with counselor, author, and speaker Jessica Stone to explore what it means to live with a true Kingdom mindset. Rather than settling for a faith that simply prepares us for heaven someday, Jessica challenges believers to embrace the abundant life Jesus offers today: one that transforms how we think, lead, solve problems, and love others, especially in the workplace.  

What you'll hear in this episode: 

• Why Jesus emphasized the Kingdom so often and why it still matters today  

• The difference between living for self and living with a Kingdom mindset  

• How renewing your mind changes the way you approach work and relationships  

• Why Christians should be the most creative problem-solvers and peacemakers in the workplace 

• How God provides supernatural wisdom, strategies, and solutions when we seek Him first  

• Practical steps toward walking in greater freedom, confidence, and purpose through kingdom living  

If you've ever wondered what it truly looks like to bring your faith into every part of your workday, this conversation offers both a challenge and an invitation. Kingdom living isn't reserved for Sundays—it's a daily way of thinking, serving, and partnering with God to impact the world around you. And check out Jessica’s Kingdom Mindset Masterclass to be equipped to live with a daily Kingdom perspective.

Running a business is challenging enough, but what happens when unimaginable personal loss collides with leadership responsibilities? 

In this deeply moving conversation, Matthew Efird shares the story of his son Noah, who was given the terminal diagnosis in the womb of Trisomy 13, a rare genetic condition caused by an extra 13th chromosome. Matthew and his wife Hannah walked through months of anticipatory grief before Noah was born, treasured the 57½ hours they had with him, and said goodbye on March 9, 2020 – just days before COVID hospital lockdowns changed everything. Their memorial service, held on March 13th (Trisomy 13 Awareness Day), became the last memorial service held in Athens, Georgia, before pandemic restrictions took effect. 

As heartbreaking as their journey was, it also revealed timeless lessons for business leaders. Matthew explains why healthy businesses – like healthy marriages – must be prepared before the storm arrives. Just as he and Hannah had invested in their relationship long before tragedy struck, his companies had been built with trusted leaders and clear systems that allowed them to continue serving well during crisis. 

Finally, Matthew introduces a simple but powerful framework for caring for grieving employees: 

• Specific: before tragedy hits know your employee and what would genuinely bless them 

• Silent: take action and help without placing decision-making on them 

• Soon: respond within the first 24 hours.  

When leaders care well for people during seasons of loss, they don't just demonstrate compassion – they help prevent the disengagement and quiet quitting that often follow when employees feel unseen. 

What you'll hear in this episode: 

• What Trisomy 13 is and how Noah's diagnosis changed everything for Matthew and Hannah 

• The reality of anticipatory grief and grieving before a loved one is gone 

• How God's timing allowed family and friends to meet Noah just before COVID hospital restrictions began 

• Why preparing your marriage – and your business – before a crisis makes all the difference 

• Common phrases to avoid when comforting someone in grief and better ways to care 

• Why responding well to grief in the workplace builds trust, strengthens culture, and helps prevent employee disengagement during difficult seasons 

Grief will touch every workplace eventually. This episode offers biblical hope, practical leadership wisdom, and simple ways every employer, manager, and coworker can care for people well when life's hardest moments arrive. 

Pick up a copy of Matthew’s book Even Though, We Will: Finding Rest in the Waves of Child Loss and the Practical Arks that Carry Us Throughto learn how to better navigate grief in your life and in the lives of others.  

And don’t forget that a key part of walking through a season of grief with someone is establishing a relationship prior to crisis. Get to know those you live closest to by hosting a summer picnic in your neighborhood! Find inspiration for launching your picnic/potluck on the iWork4Him website.

Hiring is about far more than filling an open position. In this episode of iWork4Him, Jim and Martha Brangenberg sit down with leadership consultant and author Bob Spence to discuss why so many organizations struggle with hiring – and how a thoughtful, values-driven process can transform a team. 

Drawing from decades of experience, Bob explains why resumes alone don't reveal what matters most and shares practical insights for identifying people who align with an organization's mission, values, and culture. He also highlights the importance of preparation, involving the team in the process, and treating every candidate with respect. All of this isn’t just best practice but is a strategy to point others to Christ! 

What You'll Hear in the Episode 

• Why poor hiring decisions can damage culture far more than the bottom line 

• The biggest mistakes organizations make when recruiting and interviewing 

• Why leaders should focus on character and values, not just credentials 

• How preparation and clear position profiles lead to better hires 

• Why the interviewer should spend more time listening and less time talking 

• Practical ways Christian leaders can demonstrate respect and integrity throughout the hiring process 

• Lessons from Bob's book, A Game Plan for Hiring the Right People, written as a business fable that walks readers through the entire hiring journey 

Whether you lead a business, nonprofit, church, or team, this conversation offers valuable principles for building stronger organizations and creating workplaces where people can thrive. If hiring is part of your responsibility (or you know someone who regularly makes hiring decisions) this episode is one you'll want to share.
