When our Founder, Ron Regenstreif, began Q4 Impact in 2022, it was with a passion to encourage and challenge followers of Jesus to live with Biblical purpose and meaning all the way through the 4th quarter of life.
A Look Back
This desire gave birth to our first book, The Wonder of Christmas, providing a tool for individuals and families to more intentionally make their celebrations centered on the true meaning and impact of Jesus’ birth.
Shortly thereafter, Q4 Impact began offering a weekly podcast and blog to share Biblical wisdom and principles. Our goal? To equip and encourage believers to apply the whole of God’s Word in every aspect of their lives. And as we did so, our organization began to shift. The truths around which we were challenging ourselves and others weren’t just for those in their 4th quarter. As we addressed critical issues around purpose, relationships, decision-making and hardship, our audience began to broaden, for these issues are key to living (and ending) well in every season and stage of life.
Through the help and support of many, we now have 100 episodes in our library! What’s even more amazing and humbling to me and Ron, is that our podcast has received more than 4,000 downloads, and our vidcast on YouTube has also been viewed more than 4,000 hours!
Friends, our desire is that all we do be for the glory of God and the good of others. It’s never been, nor will it ever be about “numbers”, yet our prayer is that these podcasts and blogs continue to encourage many to whole-hearted obedience to God. So, will you please continue to share this resource with those you believe will benefit? You may access both the blog and podcast via our website (www.myq4impact.org) or through our social media platforms.
Anticipating the Future
Don’t you just love that God is always doing something new in our lives? Well, for Q4 Impact, it’s the same. Our blog and content creation has helped us identify what we believe are the most important Biblical pillars we all need to live well and finish well. In the coming months, we will be sharing these pillars in ways that challenge and guide, addressing those seeking wisdom for their lives, and those who may need to course correct in some areas. Our hope is to call all who follow Jesus to live every aspect of their daily lives with the goal of hearing God say, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
A second new focus of Q4 Impact is one near and dear to my heart. As a cancer survivor, I know the challenges inherent in facing this dreaded disease. And the challenges just aren’t for the patient, but also for those who love and care for them. Several years ago, I felt led of the Lord to write a set of greeting cards that would encourage those facing cancer from a faith-based perspective. Adding to the words, is the artwork of David Beavis, an internationally acclaimed photographer, who has graciously partnered with Q4 Impact.
With statistics telling us that 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, our prayer is that these cards will bring encouragement to many, building up the faith of some, and introducing others to the true Hope that is available through faith in Jesus Christ.
We’ll also be sharing more about these cards on our social media platforms, and how you can begin sharing them with those you know facing cancer. These cards will first be available for purchase on our website at myq4impact.org and we’ll let you know when the “store” opens!
We are excited about how the Lord is leading us and how He will use Q4 Impact to advance His Kingdom. Friends, this is just a taste of what we have in the works, so we invite you to continue to check in regularly for encouragement and practical wisdom as you seek to live every day of your life to the fullest for the glory of God!
