2025/03/21

We all have a calling, have you heard this before? Some of us get called to the pulpit and some to the foreign mission field but most of us get called to our cubicles, construction sites, care facilities or whatever your job site may be. Your Workplace, It’s your mission field and in that mission field, you and me, we may be the only Jesus our co-workers, employees and bosses may ever meet. That Job that you hold and the work that you do, and the people that you work with, none of that is by

Love for ALL

iWork4Him PowerThought ·

2025/03/20

I recently had my concept of “neighbor” challenged. Does neighbor mean only the people in my neighborhood? The ones we live near? Actually, in a broader sense, it is anyone “living or located near another”. That means the folks all around us at work, in the next cubicle. The teacher in the next classroom. The person exercising next to us at the gym. Our neighbors are everywhere and the Lord had a great deal to say about them. Some Hebrew origins of the word, also translate it to mean “fellow

The Interests of Others

iWork4Him PowerThought ·

2025/03/19

Have you ever encountered a salesperson that wouldn’t stop pushing you to buy an item because they were on commission? It’s obvious in these situations that the salesperson is more interested in reaching their numbers than about meeting the needs of the customer. They have become producers rather than servers. As followers of Christ, we can end up doing the same thing when we focus only on our output at work, rather than caring about the people at work. Philippians 2:4 says, “Let each of us look

Surrender More of You

iWork4Him PowerThought ·

2025/03/18

Sacrifice. It’s defined as surrender of something for the sake of something else. We are called to do it in our life as a Christ follower, just as He did. 1 Corinthians 13:3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. What does love-based sacrifice look like in our workplace? .... We sacrifice pride, to choose what’s best for the organization, over our own ideas. .... We sacrifice time, when

Showing God’s Love

iWork4Him PowerThought ·

2025/03/17

Your work matters to God, and God has strategically placed you in your workplace to be his representative. But what exactly does it mean to be a representative of God? 1 John:4 says, that God IS love. So, when we genuinely love people, we are giving them a taste of who God is – it’s as easy as that! Being a representative of God in the workplace doesn’t mean that you need to be a pastor, an evangelist, or an apologist – all you need to do is love God and love the people around you with

Look Around

iWork4Him PowerThought ·

2025/03/14

65% of the population will never go into a four walls church – that means that over half of the people in the U.S. will never hear about Jesus from a pastor or dedicated ministry. BUT here’s the good news: almost everyone will be employed during their lifetime, which makes the workplace one of the LARGEST mission fields in the world – a place where we, as ambassadors for Christ, are given free access to the lost and hurting! John 4:35 says, “Wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for

Shine Bright

iWork4Him PowerThought ·

2025/03/13

Matthew 5:14-16 says, “You are the light of the world… No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” When you go to work, do you switch off your faith? Do you put your belief under a bowl? Or do you proudly display it, letting it shine so that others can see it? The thing is, nobody benefits

Your Mission

iWork4Him PowerThought ·

2025/03/12

How many times have we said to ourselves. “I wish I had time to go on a mission trip.” Well guess what, you DO! Your workplace IS your mission field. Your daily commute IS your mission travel. And your workplace has been crafted perfectly by God, specifically tailored to you, and your giftings. We can all begin to view our workplace and every co-worker as “the mission”. We can prepare, pray, plan and then serve our colleagues in the same way we would as if we hopped on a plane and flew to another

God Does the Heavy Lifting

iWork4Him PowerThought ·

2025/03/11

Have you ever been afraid to share the gospel because you might not know all the answers? Well, here’s the good news: we don’t need to argue people into Christ, we just need to invite them to encounter Him! What a relief - God is the one who does the heavy lifting… not us! When you set out to simply do good, work with excellence, and love people… others will be drawn to the light of Christ inside of you naturally… like a moth to a flame. Matthew 5:6 says, “let your light shine before others, that

Your Powerful Story

iWork4Him PowerThought ·

2025/03/10

The workplace is the largest mission field in the world, yet many Christ-followers don’t engage in their calling as missionaries because they don’t know how to share their faith at work. Fear around rejection, offending someone, or saying the wrong thing are just a few of the barriers that prevent believers from bringing the good news of the Gospel to their coworkers, employees, and clients. But here’s a tip: the most effective way to share your faith is simply to share your own story. Jesus often

Wonderfully Made

iWork4Him PowerThought ·

2025/03/07

What is the first question someone asks you after an introduction? I’d be willing to bet that 9 times out of 10 its “So… What do you do for work?” That question may feel fine and dandy when you are in a high-powered position or working your dream job – but for most people it’s uncomfortable to be instantly framed by their employment OR lack of employment. We live in a society that equates our value with our job title. But the TRUTH is that your identity is NEVER going to be found in the things you

A Divine Partnership

2025/03/06

Have you ever felt stuck in a rut? Like all you do is go to work, come home, eat, and sleep, just to go back to work and do it all over again the next morning? This endless cycle can feel maddening! But did you know that God never intended for our work to be a burden? In fact, God gave Adam the job of caretaker of the world as a GIFT – as an opportunity to partner with Himself! And guess what? Jesus is extending the same gift to you today! When you dedicate your work to God, you become a partner

Where do you fit in?

2025/03/05

I almost finished a 500 piece puzzle the other day, but one piece was missing. I searched high and low but I couldn’t find it anywhere. In the end, I couldn’t complete the picture with just 499 pieces… I needed the last one. 1 Corinthians 12:27 says, “You are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of it.” YOU are a part of the body of Christ and YOU bring something unique to this world - something only you can bring! Your skills, gifts, and passions help reveal who Jesus is to the world

More Than Hustling

2025/03/04

When God created Adam, he didn’t place him in the Garden of Eden for an extended vacation – No! God created A JOB for him. In Genesis 2 it says, “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to WORK it and TAKE CARE of it… and the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them...” Of course, God could’ve easily named the animals He created, but instead He CHOSE to invite Adam into the

You’re a Brand Ambassador

iWork4Him PowerThought ·

2025/03/03

A company we love, and one you may have heard of, called Dayspring, helps direct their branding by asking the question, “what do we want people to walk away feeling after they’ve encountered a Dayspring product?” Do we want them to feel seen, loved, or encouraged? And what can we do to make customers want to return after an encounter with our products? These kinds of branding questions aren’t just for companies! 2 Corinthians 5:20 says that, “we are Christ’s ambassadors and God is making his appeal

Your Legal Rights

iWork4Him PowerThought ·

2025/02/28

One of my favorite topics on faith in the workplace is to delve into the legal rights of Christ followers at work. We have more rights than most Christians know. And these legal rights are extremely important for every Christ follower to be aware of. Whether you are an employee, in management or own a company or run a non-profit. WHY? We’re losing ground in our rights, because WE, the people of faith, have been so silent. We are hiding our faith in the closet for fear of creating problems, of

Apartment Opportunity

2025/02/27

Mission fields are EVERYWHERE – including apartment communities. Statistics show that 96% of those who live in apartments have no connection to a church. So, as a Christ follower, if you live in an apartment complex or work in one on-site, there’s an opportunity to bring Christ to those that live there. Maybe you have Christian friends that live in an apartment. Would you be willing to share this idea with them? They have an amazing opportunity to start living INTENTIONALLY, loving on and caring for

Invest the B.R.I. Way

2025/02/26

Every paycheck you’ve been putting a little away for retirement. But once that money enters your 401K, what happens to it? Well, usually it gets invested into a whole bunch of companies. But did you know that many of the companies you may be investing in are actually support activities that blatantly go against Scripture! Proverbs 16:8 warns against this by saying, “Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.” So, while you may be trying to steward your money well, you

Does my marriage affect my work?

iWork4Him PowerThought ·

2025/02/25

What’s your marriage got to do with your work? On the surface, nothing. But underneath, everything. Your home life always directly affects your mindset, your attention, attitude and perspective. When our marriage is unhappy, we are distracted, less productive, and typically less than 100%. Time invested in our spouse produces fruit. And that fruit sustains us and goes before us in every aspect of our family, life and work. Are you investing as much time and effort in your marriage as you are in

Your Job = Your Anointing

Have you ever looked at your current job and wondered, “how did I end up here?” The good news is, you didn’t end up there on accident! God has strategically placed you exactly where you are for a REASON – to share the good news of Jesus Christ with your coworkers, employees, bosses, and clients! 2 Corinthians 5:20 says, “We are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us.” So next time that you feel burnt out or bored with your job, remember that you are an ambassador for Christ –
