- The Preeminence of Christ in Every Area of Life: Physical Healthby coworkersstudy@gmail.com (Brandy, Shanee) (The Coworkers Podcast) on January 9, 2023 at 7:00 am
The Bible teaches that our bodies are created purposefully by God in His image, are gifts from Him, are wasting away and fail us, and that we are to glorify God with our bodies.

So that, "in everything, Christ might be preeminent" (Col. 1:18). Listen in as Shanee interviews Brandy G, a health professional, counselor, and […]

- Should We Want Big Numbers in Ministry?by coworkersstudy@gmail.com (Jesse) (The Coworkers Podcast) on December 26, 2022 at 6:00 am
Reporting "big numbers" (of baptisms, churches, etc.) seems to result in controversy, and many Christians are hesitant to openly pursue the salvation of multitudes of people. We can get disappointed when we aren't seeing big numbers of people coming to Christ in our ministries, and wonder what we're doing wrong. Jesse shares from 2 Cor. 4:15 (and several other Scriptures) God's heart to have more and more worshippers, which should also be our heart, and how to shepherd our hearts when we aren't […]

- The Honor of Carrying Others' Burdens in Their Darkest Seasonsby coworkersstudy@gmail.com (Shanee) (The Coworkers Podcast) on December 12, 2022 at 6:00 am
When our loved ones are going through difficult seasons, God commands us to carry their burdens alongside them. Even Jesus wanted his closest friends with him in his darkest, most painful moments. It is an honor to enter into our loved ones' pain with them (through acts of service and empathy), but we are limited in how much we can carry.
