Guest: Viviana Russell

Ministry/Workplace: Councilwoman of North Hempstead

Sometimes God has bigger plans for us than we have for ourselves. Proverbs 16:9 tells us that we make plans in our hearts, but it is the Lord who establishes our steps. Today we talk with a longtime friend of host Catherin Gates, Viviana Russell, a mom turned public official and the first African American woman to be elected to the North Hempstead town board. Tune in as we discuss what happens when God’s unexpected and unmistakable purpose comes calling, issues of race and gender in the public office, non-negotiables, and how to build up a community of support.

Guests: Pam Lilly 

Ministry/Workplace: Mission Increase

As women of faith in the workplace, we face unique challenges on a daily basis, whether it's serving on the front lines or serving from the back office. So, let me ask you, friend: Have you asked yourself questions, like "Am I doing enough for my family? Am I doing enough for my career? Am I doing enough for God? Am I enough?"

Today we are going to Houston, Texas, to speak with Pam Lilly. She is a wife, mother, grandmother, author, and Leadership Coach for The Masters Program for Women. She is also a non-profit consultant with over 30 years of experience in corporate travel and international ministry through global missions. 

In this show, Pam talks with hosts Martha Brangenberg and Nadya Dickson about her book, Mary Morning, Martha Day. An eye-opening read about how carving out time to spend with Jesus in daily devotion each morning will benefit everyone (including those at work AND home) in the long run! Pam also shares a bit about her soon to be released book, The One, the Few, the Only: We are not All Having the Same Experience, a timely read about understanding and navigating the cultural realities of our American brothers and sisters of color from a place of biblical unity. This particular book includes Pam's own experiences attending pre-school, the first year of school desegregation, and becoming the first black cheerleader in her school in the deep south. You don't want to miss this passionate, heartfelt interview.

Resources from Today's Show:

Pam is doing a FREE GIVEAWAY of two copies of her book. To enter, simply call the listener line at 866-713-9675. You can be inspired and learn more about Mary Morning Martha Day on her Facebook page.

Featured Guests: Dee Ann Turner

Ministry/Workplace: Chick-fil-A; DeeAnnTurner.com

Today's Marketplace is ridiculously competitive, wrought with uncertainty, and steeped in pressure. Culture would have us believe that success comes from being driven and driving our teams hard. The trouble is, too many companies are driving their teams … right into the ground. How can people of faith lead well and honor their Christian values while also remaining competitive?

If you ask today's guest, the Vice President of Talent for Chick-fil-A, Dee Ann Turner, she would start by explaining the importance of stewarding your talent well. Under her leadership, Chick-fil-A has enjoyed industry-leading employee engagement scores and become known for selecting the best talent in the hospitality business. Dee Ann is also the author of two best-selling books covering corporate culture and career success. Bet on talent teaches leaders how to find and keep extraordinary talent. And her latest book, Crush Your Career, teaches talent how to be extraordinary. She has also mentored and championed hundreds of people to discover their unique vocational callings and build careers they love!

From the ripe old age of seven, Dee Ann planned to go into a life of full-time Christian service. Today, we discuss how she fulfilled that commitment in the Marketplace through helping other people find their calling and how working under Truett Cathy taught her about creating a positive workplace culture and being a good steward of resources AND people.

Resources for you from today's show:

The most life-changing habit that has impacted Dee Ann's leadership is starting her day with at least a full hour of Bible reading, prayer, and exercise. In the morning, she turns to resources, including her Bible, the First Five app from Proverbs 31 Ministries, the YouVersion Bible app, as well as Michael Hyatt's Full Focus Planner.  Dee Ann will also be speaking at the Boldly Conference on Friday, October 8, 2021, on the topic of "Creating a Culture of Care."

Featured Guests: Ellie Nieves

Ministry/Workplace: Leadership Strategies for Women, LLC  -  http://www.christiancareerwomen.com/Rise

We can plan our careers; we can work hard and hustle. But we can't anticipate every adversity, challenge, or disruption. Ellie Nieves is no stranger to life's curveballs, but with faith, she has come through it all with grace! Join Catherine Gates, Martha Brangenberg, and special guest Ellie Nieves as we discuss work-life balance, being a Christian woman in the corporate world, and developing personal resiliency through all of life's seasons!

Ellie Nieves has been laser-focused on achieving her goals from the beginning. She launched a successful career as a lawyer in New York City politics and then became vice president for a Fortune 250 company. Ellie didn't think she had time for all that "Christian stuff" when she first started out. However, when she had reached the pinnacle of her career, something was still missing. That's when God brought her to her knees – a defining moment that put everything in life – including her career – into context.

Tune in to hear more about how Ellie came to Christ through a business connection, how she balances her faith with being a wife, mother, attorney, diversity, equity and inclusion consultant, speaker, podcast host, and corporate VP. Hint, it all starts with four simple things: prayer, attitude, discipleship, and Scripture!

Resources for you from today's show:

Ellie recently launched a community for Christian women in the marketplace on Facebook and has virtual bible studies and coffee breaks available online at christiancareerwomen.com! Ellie also started Leadership Strategies for Women at ellienieves.com to work with organizations that want to help emerging women leaders become effective managers in the workplace.

Featured Guests: Jene' Dunn

Ministry/Workplace: Clinical Nurse Manager  -  www.mastersprogramforwomen.org

Do you know any essential workers? These individuals have faced insurmountable stress during the COVID-19 pandemic, risking their own health and wellbeing for the sake of others. As a result, 2020 was officially dubbed Year of the Nurse, and for good reason! Today we are going to Castle Rock, Colorado, to talk with board-certified nurse Jene Dunn about serving like Jesus in the health care sector.

Jene grew up in a loving Christian home, surrounded by many family members who served as pastors and missionaries. But from a young age, Jene knew that she would go on to share the gospel in a different kind of mission field – the healthcare sector. As a Clinical Nurse Manager of four departments in a faith-based hospital, Jene has a passion for empowering those under her leadership. Her personal mission statement is "To allow the light of Christ to shine through me as I care for frontline associates who then care for our patients." But what exactly does that look like during a global pandemic? Tune in to find out!

Plus, Jene discusses the importance of vulnerability and authenticity when leading a team through trauma or uncertain times and the value continual learning, servant leadership, and honing in on a personal mission statement.

Resources from today's show:

Jene Dunn is a graduate of The Master's Program for Women, a faith-based professional leadership development program for high-impact Christian women. To learn more, go to mastersprogramforwomen.org. Jene also encourages all women to reflect on their own leadership and write a personal mission statement.
