September 30, 2022 Show with Reagan Rose on “Redeeming Productivity: Getting More Done for the Glory of God”

Live from the historic parsonage of the 19th century Gospel Minister George Norcross in downtown Carwile, Pennsylvania, it's Iron Sharpens Iron. This is a radio platform in which pastors, Christian scholars, and theologians address the burning issues facing the Church and the world today.

Proverbs 27, verse 17 tells us, Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Matthew Henry said that in this passage, we are cautioned to take heed with whom we converse and directed to have a view in conversation to make one another wiser and better.

It is our hope that this goal will be accomplished over the next two hours, and we hope to hear from you, the listener, with your own questions. And now, here's your host, Chris Arnzen.

Good afternoon, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Lake City, Florida, and the rest of humanity living on the planet Earth. We're listening via live streaming at ironsharpensironradio .com. This is Chris Arnzen, your host of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, wishing you all a happy Friday.

Today is Friday, isn't it? I've been so busy lately that I'm losing track of time. Yes, Friday, September 30th, 2022, and I'm thrilled to have as my guest today, for the very first time, Reagan Rose, who received his MDiv from the Master's Seminary.

He is former director of Digital Platforms, for grace to you, the media ministry of Dr. John MacArthur, and founder of Redeeming Productivity, a ministry which helps Christians develop a biblically grounded understanding of personal productivity, so they can get more done for the glory of God.

Today we are addressing his book by the same title, Redeeming Productivity, Getting More Done for the Glory of God. And it's my honor and privilege to welcome you, for the very first time ever, to Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, Reagan Rose.

It's an honor for me.

Well, the honor and pleasure is all mine, and I'm sure my audience, once they hear you lay out everything that you want them to know about Redeeming Productivity, they'll be very thrilled that you have been a guest here.

First of all, tell us something about how you got involved in trying to help brothers and sisters in Christ redeem productivity. Was it because you already had a knack for this, something that you developed early on, where you were organized and able to make the best proper use of your time?

Or were you the opposite to that, like me, and in struggling to overcome a very lack of organization and putting things in their proper perspective and priority, had to learn to redeem productivity?

Salvation Testimony and Early Background

Well, we have a tradition here on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio,.

Whenever we have a first-time guest, we have that guest provide for our audience a summary of their salvation testimony, and that would include the kind of religious atmosphere in which you were raised, if any, and what kind of providential circumstances our Sovereign Lord raised up in your life that drew you to himself and saved you.

So let's hear your story.

At that moment, it was somewhere in the last few years.

Well, how did you get involved with Grace to You Ministries and also the Master's Seminary?

That's an interesting story, actually, because I am not from California.

As if the Sovereign God of all the universe ever attempts to do anything.

Amen. The doctrine of the clarity of Scripture really was what led me to.

Now, when did you come to the doctrines of Sovereign Grace? Was it before you enrolled in the Master's Seminary, or was it during your being a student there?

It was before I had been introduced to what was.

Well, I always love hearing that. It's music to my ears. Well, this book that we are going to be addressing today has some endorsements by people that I know personally and have interviewed on this program and have received glowing commendations for this program from them, which you can read on my website, ironsharpensironradio .com.

But I'd like to read first Nate Pickowitz's endorsement. He is one of my favorite authors, one of my favorite guests to interview. And I'm looking forward to my next opportunity to hear him preach at a conference.

But Nate says about this book we are addressing, Redeeming Productivity, Getting More Done for the Glory of God, Before I entered pastoral ministry, I spent several years working in the business world.

In keeping step with other successful businessmen in my office, I read numerous books on how to increase sales, manage my time, stay motivated and make lots of money. However, none of these practices truly helped me or gave glory to God.

In many ways, it felt like I was running on a hamster wheel, chasing productivity, but not really knowing why. As I grew in my knowledge and love of the Lord, my focus began to change. Having had this previous experience, I was overjoyed and thankful to read Reagan Rose's book, Redeeming Productivity.

He gives voice to the issue of being productive, not simply for one's own good, but for God's ultimate glory. Not only does Reagan give a bevy of helpful tools for personal efficiency, but he grounds the whole book in the Word of God.

This is an invaluable resource that I wish I had two decades ago. However, I'm glad it's here now. And another endorser of this book, someone that should not be a stranger to the Iron Sherpa's Iron Radio audience, another former guest on this program, Chris Larson, who is president and CEO of Ligonier Ministries, the ministry founded by the late Dr. R .C. Sproul.

Chris says, Fruitful labor is a gift from the Lord, as he graciously works in and through his people for his good pleasure. Productivity is not so much a science to be studied, but a prayerful discipline to cultivate, entrusting our service to the faithful Lord of the harvest, who is always working in our lives, in our families, in our churches, and in our communities.

In this insightful book, Reagan Rose distills biblical wisdom as we pursue productivity, not for our glory, but for God alone. Two very powerful endorsements for this book that should be reason for our audience to have their appetites whetted and for them to want to get a hold of this.

What immediately came to mind while reading these commendations, especially when reading Nate Pickowitz's commendation, is my many years in the Christian broadcasting field. Prior to becoming a talk show host, I was for 15 years an account executive for the world's largest Christian radio network, the Salem Media Corporation.

And while employed there, we would frequently have to attend conferences and seminars that would involve things like the concept of redeeming productivity. And as good as these men were in the secular realm, at least that's what has been claimed by many people who swear by them, who claim that their careers didn't even really launch until following the advice and counsel of these famous men that have written books on this sort of thing, I always left those events feeling let down and being very disappointed in the fact that some of these men, not all, some of these men and women who were the keynote speakers profess to be Christian, and yet their worldview and the heart of their beliefs seem to be at odds with very crucial Christian concepts.

So I am also very glad that you have written a book that appears from what Nate and Chris have said, because I have not yet received the book from the publisher. This is a very late minute booking of our guest today, and I thank him for so quickly being interested in being on the show.

He comes to us by the enthusiastic recommendations of my webmaster and other people I know. But I'm glad to hear what they have said. These are two men whose opinions I trust and whose discernment I respect and highly regard.

And have you found this in your own life, that very often when you are in, especially if you are in a business that is involved in sales and productivity is obviously an extremely important factor in whether or not not only do you get bonuses and get superior positions granted to you in whatever field it may be, in whatever corporation or business you're working for, but your very job is at stake when you are involved in things like that.

And have you personally been disappointed, as I have been, and as Nate has been, by being told by your employees, follow the advice and counsel of these experts, and you leave there saying, I'm wondering if that person who claimed to be a Christian was even regenerate.

Yeah, no, I just think, what is it about the way that Christians should think about productivity biblically that's different than how the world thinks? And the first one is, why do I want to... You want to be productive so you can be more successful.

And it's almost not even said, it's just assumed. Like, of course that's why you do it. That's why it often... But you belong to God, missing so that you can turn a bigger profit.

What are some of the initial things that you, as a person who, like me, the difference between you and me is that this is something that is from your past, not in your present, like me. One of the first things that you realized, this is the number one thing that I've got to change in my life to increase productivity in what God has called me to do, in what field God has placed me in, in order to bring Him greater glory.

What was the initial thing, or perhaps even things, plural, that began to fall like dominoes in your life that you had to transform by the help and grace of God?

You know, because I wasn't planning... Examine your morning. What do you do when you first get up? Do you... do you... morning routine? What does it even mean to be productive? Model T's, how I do... I think that if we go... even what it means... It's a lot...

Fruit... If you walk close... Keep... you will...

And we have to go to our first break right now. If anybody would like to send in a question to our guest, Reagan Rose, on redeeming productivity, our email address is... Give us your first name at least, your city and state, and your country of residence.

Don't go away. We'll be right back with Reagan Rose, right after these messages.

Hi, I'm Pete Hegseth, co-host of Fox and Friends Weekend. Now, I don't have to tell you, but American education, it's in a free fall, crumbling under the weight of a century of damage inflicted upon America's academic system.

The answer? It's called classical Christian education, a form of K -12 ed that's very distinct from the type of education most Americans have received, myself included. And that's why I'm so excited to have been invited by my friends at Long Island's Grace Christian Academy to talk about this wonderful, growing movement and new approach rediscovered to education.

It's at 7 p .m. October 15th at the Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Melville, New York. I'll also be signing copies of my New York Times bestselling book, Battle for the American Mind, for the first 50 guests, starting at 6 p .m.

Now, this is a fundraising event designed to raise money to help grow this type of education at a time when it is so desperately needed. So please come ready to give and to learn about a way to stimulate academic revival in our great country.

You can purchase tickets for the event by visiting GCALI, G-C-A-L-I dot com, and following the link to the gala event. I hope to see you there.

Satan is the father of lies and spin, and the mother of those lies is a government who has rejected God. We have especially been lied to these last two years, and the COVID panic has been one of the central mechanisms that our government has used to lie to us and grab more power.

Because Christians have not been reading their Bibles, we are susceptible to lies and are weak in our ability to fight these lies. God has given us his word to fight Satan and his lies, and we need to recover all of God's word, its serrated edge and all.

Mark your calendars for October 6th through 8th as we fight, laugh, and feast to the glory of God in Knoxville, Tennessee. You'll be enlightened, edified, encouraged, and challenged by ten speakers on the themes lies, propaganda, storytelling, and the serrated edge, covering various topics that address the burning issues facing the church and the world today.

Speakers include Pastor Doug Wilson of Christ Church of Moscow, Idaho, and the whole gang at the Cross Politics Show and Podcast. For details, visit flfnetwork .com. That's F for fight, L for laugh, F for feast, network .com.

See you there October 6th through 8th in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Have you noticed the gap that exists between the Sunday morning sermon and the Sunday school classroom or the small group study? So often we experience great preaching from the pulpit, but when it comes time to study God's word in those smaller settings, well, let's be honest, it leaves a lot to be desired.

It seems like it is nearly impossible to find good curriculum out there today that is true to the word of God and is built upon sound doctrine, much less it's hard to find curriculum that will actually teach people how to study the Bible.

Hi there, my name is Jordan Too, and I am the Executive Director of The Baptist Publishing House. Our ministry is dedicated to providing local churches with sound Bible study resources. Our quarterly curriculum is titled The Baptist Expositor, and for good reason.

We are Baptist, and we exegete the scriptures. If you want to have a curriculum that teaches your people how to study the word of God, I invite you, go to our website, download a free study, baptistpublishinghouse .com.

May God bless you.

When Iron Sharpens Iron radio first launched in 2005, the publishers of the New American Standard Bible were among my very first sponsors. It gives me joy knowing that many scholars and pastors in the Iron Sharpens Iron radio audience have been sticking with or switching to the NASB.

This is Darrell Bernard Harrison, co-host of the Just Thinking podcast, and the NASB is my Bible of choice. I'm Pastor Tom Buck at First Baptist Church in Lindale, Texas, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Pastor Kent Keller of Faith Bible Church in Sharpsburg, Georgia, and the NASB is my Bible of choice. I'm Andrew Rapport, the founder and executive director at Striving for Eternity Ministries, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Mark Romaldi,.

Pastor of Sovereign Grace Church of Greenbrier, Tennessee, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

I'm Christopher Cookston, pastor of Prineville Community Church in Prineville, Oregon, and the NASB is my Bible of choice. I'm Matt Tarr, pastor of High Point Baptist Church in Larksville, Pennsylvania, and the NASB is my Bible of choice.

Here's a great way for your church to help keep Iron Sharpens Iron Radio on the air. Pastors, are your pew Bibles tattered and falling apart? Consider restocking your pews with the NASB, and tell the publishers you heard about them from Chris Arnzen on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

If you love Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, one of the best ways you can help keep the show on the air is by supporting our advertisers. One such faithful advertiser who really believes in what Chris Arnzen is doing is Daniel P. Patafuco, serious injury lawyer and Christian apologist.

Dan is the president and founder of the Historical Bible Society. Their mission? To foster belief in the credibility of Scripture as the written Word of God. They go to various churches, schools, and institutions to publicly display a rare collection of biblical texts along with a fascinating presentation by Mr. Patafuco demonstrating the reliability of Scripture.

To advance the cause of the Gospel, they created a beautiful, perfect facsimile of the genealogy of Jesus Christ from the original engravings contained in a first edition 1611 King James Bible. This 17th century hand-engraved chart shows the family tree of Jesus Christ going back to Adam and Eve.

This book is complete with gorgeous full-size illustrations of Noah's Ark and the Tower of Babel and an explanation of why the genealogy of Jesus is so important for his claims to the throne of the universe.

Originals of this work are in museums and nobody has ever made it accessible to the public in a large book form before. You can have your own copy of this 44-page genealogy book for a donation of $35 or more.

Our email address is chrisarnzen at gmail .com. Chrisarnzen at gmail .com. As always, give us your first name, at least, your city and state of residence, and your country of residence if you live outside the USA.

We have Ted in Moundville, Alabama, who says, I was interested by your guest's background in the emerging slash emergent church. I was curious to know if, number one, he thinks that anything of positive value came out from the emergent church experience, and number two, if he thinks there have been lasting negative effects of the emergent church on contemporary evangelical belief and practice.

And if that is the case, he wants to know what those lasting negative effects are. So, first start with the positive, if any, and then the negative.

The Emergent Church and Its Lasting Effects

Yeah, you know, was correct. And so I think in that sense, it did need to be critiqued.

So, as far as the lasting negative effects that you think are experienced by those who were involved in it, do you think that that far outweighs anything good that happened?

Such a negative experience for many people.

Yeah. It's tarnished the reputation of Reformed churches because that movement, much of it was closely aligned in some way with Reformed theology and churches, and there were men whose reputation for being very discerning has been tarnished, men who applauded some of the leaders of that movement initially, and even co-authored books.

With them. That eagerness, I think that a lot of discernment were big names in this movement, a lot of them, because the evidences were there from the start, from the people that were close. It's going to be the next thing, big Eva desire to be hip and cool, I think a lot of that.

Thanks, Ted.

Give us your full mailing address in Moundville, Alabama, and we'll have Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service, cvbbs .com, ship a copy of this book out to you as a gift to you from Moody Publishers, and a gift to you from cvbbs .com.

We'll be shipping it out to you at no cost to you or to Iron Trip and Zion Radio. We have an anonymous listener who says, I am remaining anonymous because the business I am involved in that is owned and operated by Christians has used motivational speakers for the employees like the ones Chris Arnzen mentioned earlier that he was subjected to working in the radio industry.

Some of what I have heard said to me is if we are going to honor Christ in whatever business or field or career we are in, we should imitate what those who are most successful in that organization or field do because of their success and our being successful as well will be a very thing that lets the human world know that God has blessed us in what we are doing.

I find it difficult to swallow that, not that everything about that statement is wrong. We can even learn from those individuals in the business realm who are lost if they are successful at what they do and are not violating anything that God commands, but at the same time to use that as a statement of fact in all areas of how we can deduct ourselves to achieve success to me is dangerous and I was wondering what your guest thinks.

In fact, we are going to have you answer that question when we return from our midway break because I don't want to cut you off in mid-sentence, brother. So Anonymous, please be patient with us. We are going to our midway break right now and remember folks this is the longer than normal break in the show because Grace Life Radio, 90 .1 FM in Lake City, Florida requires of us a longer break in the middle of the show because the FCC requires of them to localize this show and all of their programming geographically to Lake City, Florida and therefore they air their own public service announcements and other local things in the middle of the show while we simultaneously air our globally heard commercials.

So, please use this time wisely. Please write down as much of the contact information that our advertisers provide so that you can more frequently and successfully respond to our advertisers and hopefully that will often mean that you are buying their products and using their services, supporting their parachurch organizations and visiting their churches.

But when you can't do any of those things, please do one thing that you can do. If you really love the show and are grateful that there are people and organizations out there that share some of the wealth that God has blessed them with us, if you're really grateful for that, thank our advertisers for sponsoring this show because without our advertisers we would not and could not exist.

So, please spend the time or take the time out of your schedule to respond to our advertisers, thank them and also write in questions to our guest Reagan Rose on Redeeming Productivity and send them to chrisarnson at gmail dot com chrisarnson at gmail dot com give us your first name at least, your city and state and your country of residence.

Don't go away, we'll be right back with Reagan Rose after these messages.

Hi, this is John Sampson, pastor of King's Church in Peoria, Arizona. Taking a moment of your day to talk about Chris Arnzen and the Iron Sharpens Iron podcast. I consider Chris a true friend and a man of high integrity.

He's a skilled interviewer who's not afraid to ask the big penetrating questions while always defending the key doctrines of the Christian faith. I've always been happy to point people to this podcast, knowing it's one of the very few safe places on the internet where folk won't be led astray.

I believe this podcast needs to be heard far and wide. This is a day of great spiritual compromise, and yet God has raised Chris up for just such a time. And knowing this, it's up to us as members of the body of Christ to stand with such a ministry in prayer and in finances.

I'm pleased to do so, and would like to ask you to prayerfully consider joining me in supporting Iron Sharpens Iron financially. Would you consider sending either a one-time gift or even becoming a regular monthly partner with this ministry?

I know it would be a huge encouragement to Chris, if you would. All the details can be found at ironsharpensironradio .com where you can click support. That's Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.

James White of Alpha Omega Ministries here. If you've watched my Dividing Line webcast often enough, you know I have a great love for getting Bibles and other documents vital to my ministry rebound to preserve and ensure their longevity.

And besides that, they feel so good. I'm so delighted I discovered Post-Tenebrous Lux Bible rebinding. No radio ad will be long enough to sing their praises sufficiently, but I'll give it a shot. Jeffrey Rice of Post-Tenebrous Lux is a remarkably gifted craftsman and artisan.

All his work is done by hand, from the cutting to the pleating of corners to the perimeter stitching. Jeffrey uses the finest and buttery soft imported leathers in a wide variety of gorgeous colors, like the turquoise goatskin, tanned in Italy used for my Nestle All in 28th edition, with a navy blue goatskin inside liner and the electric blue goatskin from a French tannery used to rebind a Reformation Study Bible I used as a gift.

The silver gilding he added on the page edges has a stunning mirror finish resembling highly polished chrome. Jeffrey will customize your rebinding to your specifications and even emboss your logo into the leather, making whatever he rebinds a one-of-a-kind work of art.

For more details on Post-Tenebrous Lux Bible rebinding, go to ptlbiblerebinding .com. Ptlbiblerebinding .com.

Getting a driver's license, running a cash register, flipping burgers, passing 6th grade. Do you know what they all have in common? They all require training, assessments, and certifications. But do you know what requires no training at all?

Becoming a parent. My name is A .M. Brewster. I'm the president of Truth .Love .Parent and host of its award winning podcast. I've been a biblical family counselor since the early 2000s. And what I've discovered is that the majority of Christian parents have never been biblically equipped to do the work of the ministry in their homes.

That's why Truth .Love .Parent exists. We serve God by equipping dads and moms to be the ambassador parents God called and created them to be. We produce free parenting resources, train church leaders, and offer biblical counseling so that the next generation of dads and moms can use the scriptures to parent their children for life and godliness.
