Re-anchor in who you are: a loved son or daughter, a steward, and a leader partnering with God. 2. Write Truth When Your Mind Feels Chaotic Andy shares how journaling declarations rooted in Scripture helped him cut through anxiety and confusion. Writing down truth helps you reconnect with God’s perspective and hear His voice clearly. 3. Build a Rhythm: Presence → Listen → Act Kingdom leadership flows from relationship first.

A Heaven in Business Conference recap on surrender, hearing God at work, and building kingdom business that multiplies impact through presence-led leadership.   Welcome to the Heaven in Business podcast—where we explore the intersection of faith, family, and business, and what it looks like to partner with God, build better business, and multiply Kingdom impact.  In this episode, Janine Mason recaps the Heaven in Business Conference with leaders from around the world—and highlights the thread God emphasized again and again: surrender. Not surrender as weakness, but surrender as yielded partnership—learning to live from God’s presence, breaking agreement with performance, and taking step-by-step obedience that creates room for God’s provision and multiplication.   Read the blog here: Heaveninbusiness.com/blog/conference-recap Three Practical Takeaways (workplace applicable)   1. Practice presence before you problem-solve Start your day (or your next stressful moment) with a simple prayer: “I am here.” Pause and listen for God’s response: “I am here.” Your peace becomes a leadership advantage when you lead from relationship.   2. Break up with striving—lead from identity One of the recurring themes was freedom from an “orphan” mindset—where you perform to feel safe, valuable, or approved. Choose leadership from sonship/daughterhood (secure, loved, led), not pressure-driven hustle.   3. Let surrender turn pressure into partnership The stories shared at conference all carried the same DNA: yielded, often inconvenient obedience—one step at a time. Surrender doesn’t shrink your business; it positions you for multiplication with God.   🔔 Subscribe for weekly insights to grow your faith and business → Heaveninbusiness.com/newsletters/weekly-insights/subscribe   Next steps:  1.

Kingdom crisis keys for Christian business leaders: hear God at work, stay rooted in love, and respond with wisdom when pressure and uncertainty hit. Welcome to The Conversation—the Heaven in Business podcast with Andy Mason, helping you navigate the messy intersection of faith, family, and business. In this short, “fresh testimony,” Andy shares what happened last week while traveling between Ohio and Illinois after buying a secondhand truck. When a check engine light sparked a real-time crisis decision under pressure. Instead of reacting from fear, shame, or accusation, he chose a Kingdom response: stay rooted and grounded in love (Ephesians 3:14–21) and let Christ rule the “decision seat” of the heart—then watch how God opens a way forward. Read the Blog Here Three Practical Takeaways (Keys to Handle Crisis) 1. Notice the “indicator lights” early. Small warnings can save you big pain later, pause and get clarity instead of pushing through on adrenaline. 2. Choose response over reaction (love as your baseline). Pressure reveals who’s ruling your heart. When you’re rooted in love, you don’t have to protect, prove, defend, or attack, you can respond with peace and wisdom. 3. Lead with integrity and calm communication. Andy contrasts two crisis postures—fear/shame/accusation vs. anchored love—and shows how that changes the conversation and outcome with the dealer.

Stop comparing yourself, return to surrender, and boost productivity—partner with God at work and build a business with purpose. Welcome to Heaven in Business—where we help you navigate the messy intersection of faith, family, and business so you can partner with God, build better business, and multiply Kingdom impact. In this episode, Andy shares how he had his most productive day in a month—and it didn’t come from working harder, getting more efficient, or building a better plan. The breakthrough came from changing his center: recognizing how comparison pulls you back onto the throne, then choosing surrender—putting Christ back at the center—so your work flows from overflow, not effort. Read the Blog Here Three Practical Takeaways: Name the comparison questions driving you If you’re feeling scattered, pay attention to what you’re really asking: “Am I behind?” “What do I need to prove?” “When will I be enough?” Those questions reveal the source you’re living from. Swap comparison for surrender questions Shift to Spirit-led questions like: “What obedience is mine today?” “What assignment is mine?” “What am I being led to release?” That’s how you come back to clarity and peace—without striving. Use the ‘mirror question’ to re-center fast When comparison creeps in, ask: “What does my reaction tell me about who is ruling my heart—my significance, satisfaction, or security?” It’s not shame—it’s a quick re-centering back to Jesus on the throne.  Subscribe for weekly insights to grow your faith and business: Weekly email: https://www.heaveninbusiness.com/newsletters/weekly-insights/subscribe  See you at an upcoming event: https://www.heaveninbusiness.com/events Timestamps (starting at 00:00) 00:00 Why this productivity shift wasn’t about working harder or smarter 02:24 The pressure stack: news, relationships, cashflow, health, and uncertainty 04:48 Comparison is never neutral—it competes for lordship 07:12 The unexpected re-center: Isaiah 53 and the power of surrender 09:28 Why work will never satisfy when you’re sourcing significance from it 11:49 “Unforced rhythms of grace” (Matthew 11) + overflow vs effort 14:05 The mirror question that snaps you back to center 16:31 Prayer: letting go of striving, envy, and comparison 18:45 Share your testimony + upcoming events #heaveninbusiness #kingdombusiness #christianbusiness #faithandwork #businessleadership

Welcome to the Heaven in Business podcast—where we help you partner with God, build better business, and multiply kingdom impact. In this episode, Andy unpacks a timely word to lean in (not draw back) and walks through three practical keys from Nehemiah to strengthen your faith and business. Andy Mason hosts this conversation from a place of Scripture-first leadership and real-world application. Read the Blog here Episode summary When the pressure hits, our instinct is to lower expectations or play it safe. Drawing from Nehemiah 4 & 6, Andy shows how mockery, mess (rubble), and distraction are classic tactics to stall your assignment. You’ll learn how to anchor in God’s voice, strengthen your core focus, and build with others so your work blesses cities and nations. Along the way, Andy shares stories from mastermind cohorts, travel partners, and a renewed commitment to Scripture-centered leadership that refuses to retreat. Three Practical Takeaways 1. Pray, then build: When criticism hits, return to God’s word and presence to reset your courage and next actions. 2. Strengthen the team: Close ranks at exposed places; build with families and peers—arm-to-arm—not as a lone hero. 3. Guard your focus: Say “I am doing a great work and cannot come down.” Protect your white-hot core from nice-but-distracting invites.

Welcome to Heaven in Business—equipping Christian entrepreneurs to partner with God, build better business, and multiply Kingdom impact.

You’ll hear practical stories (including a candid marriage moment with Andy) and a simple activation to align your actions with what God has actually said. Read the Blog Here Three Practical Takeaways 1. Trade anxiety for assurance. When pressure hits, pause and pray Philippians 4—turn worry into worship and specific requests. 2. Decide from God’s promises. Keep one verse for the week (e.g., “Nothing is impossible”) and let it steer hiring, pricing, and tough conversations. 3. Act on the word you’ve received. If God said “Go,” stop re-checking the starting blocks—take the next faithful step today.

Stuck in adversity? Learn how Christian entrepreneurs can hear God at work, choose gratitude, and lead with Kingdom purpose—right where it’s messy. Welcome to Heaven in Business—where we help you partner with God, build better business, and multiply Kingdom impact. In today’s episode, Andy Mason shares a real-time story from a Nashville ice storm: no power for days, frozen everything, cooking on the barbecue… and a practical, faith-filled way to choose grateful over grumpy. You’ll learn how Psalm 23 reframes adversity, what “my cup overflows” means for marketplace ministry, and simple actions to lead your team (and yourself) with hope. This conversation equips you to hear God at work and lead your business with purpose—even in the messy middle. Three Practical Takeaways 1. Reframe with Scripture: Open meetings (or mornings) with Psalm 23—declare “The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing”—then list three provisions you already see. 2. Activate Overflow: Identify one person “worse off than me” and serve them today (a call, a meal, a ride, a referral). Overflow grows when you give. 3. Operational Gratitude: In any setback, write two columns: Grumpy (facts) vs Grateful (facts + opportunities). Choose one action from the grateful column and do it now.

If you lead anything—business, team, or family—you’re making constant decisions under pressure. Budgets tighten, calendars fill, and the temptation is to let urgency or comfort lead. But Kingdom leaders are called to decide from a different place: peace, purpose, and partnership with God. In this episode, I share a real-time leadership moment and unpack how Scripture and wise counsel cut through decision overload. Drawing from Luke 17, we look at Jesus’ warning not to shrink back, negotiate with fear, or retreat to what’s comfortable when pressure rises. Instead, we’re invited to obey quickly and stay aligned with what God has already said. You’ll walk away with a simple 30-day rhythm to help you lead with clarity, make decisions with God, and recognize where the Kingdom is meant to shift—internally, structurally, and spiritually.

Year-end review with God: Andy’s practical playbook (5 Cs & 4 Ps) to hear God at work and build a focused, joyful kingdom business in 2026.   Welcome to Heaven in Business—where we help you partner with God at work so you can build a better business and multiply Kingdom impact. In this insider episode, Andy Mason walks through his end-of-year review and planning rhythm, how he reflects with God month-by-month, captures testimonies, discerns the theme of favor, and turns that into a focused 2026 plan.  You’ll hear highlights from a full year of ministry and business, global travel and workshops, trainings that equipped local leaders, healings and fresh testimonies, family milestones, and nonprofit outreach through the Hope Directive to serve emerging economies. Andy then shares what’s next: tighter focus, fewer but deeper partnerships, a mentor-accelerated path, and a small, Jesus-first mastermind for business owners. He also unpacks two simple decision filters you can adopt right away: the 5 Cs for partnerships (chemistry, capacity, calling, credibility, character) and the 4 Ps for projects (purpose, passion, proficiency, profitability). Use these to plan with peace, steward your time, and keep joy at the center.   Three Practical Takeaways   1. Do a month-by-month replay with God: scan your calendar, list key wins and testimonies, identify the favor theme, then plan from that place.   2. Prioritize what only you can do: say “no” to good so you can say “yes” to best; delegate or delay everything else.   3. Decide with the 5 Cs & 4 Ps: test people and projects for alignment, then check for peace and joy before committing.   Read the Blog Subscribe  🔔 Subscribe for weekly insights to grow your faith and business → https://www.heaveninbusiness.com/newsletters/weekly-insights/subscribe   Comment Prompt  What did God highlight as your 2025 “theme of favor,” and how will you plan 2026 from that?   Timestamps  00:00 Welcome: why review + plan with God matters (faith, business, family)  00:45 The current team setup & counsel (advisors, EA, social, finances)  02:20 Hope Directive: equipping leaders in emerging economies  03:10 Year-in-review method: calendar scan, testimonies, favor theme  04:30 Early-year wins: miraculous provision & pricing/budget wisdom  06:30 Conference highlights: encounters, activation, local ownership  07:40 International travel: retreats, workshops & divine connections  09:10 Training leaders: “tell–show–do” to multiply local impact  10:05 Healing testimony on the road & growing faith at work  11:00 Family milestones and what success looks like at home  12:10 Lessons from delays, discomfort, and staying hungry  13:30 Strategic shift: less travel, longer pipeline, laser focus  15:00 Growth Path & mentor-accelerated cohort (what to expect)  16:00 A small mastermind for business owners (Jesus + business)  17:00 The 5 Cs: chemistry, capacity, calling, credibility, character  18:00 The 4 Ps: purpose, passion, proficiency, profitability  19:00 Planning with the Holy Spirit + budgeting by faith & diligence  19:45 Final invitation: steward favor, focus on what multiplies impact   #heaveninbusiness   #kingdombusiness  #christianbusiness  #faithandwork  #businessleadership 

Plan your year with God using five expectation shifts to hear God at work, lead with clarity, and build a purpose-driven kingdom business. Welcome to Heaven in Business—where we help you partner with God, build better business, and multiply Kingdom impact. In this episode, Andy Mason equips you to plan the year ahead by resetting five core expectations so you can hear God at work and lead with clarity, courage, and purpose. What you’ll learn: We walk through five expectation shifts from Luke 7--authority-fueled, dead, confused, none/complacent, and shame-limited—and translate each into simple practices for your planning rhythm. You’ll finish with a faith-filled plan that aligns your goals, calendar, and leadership decisions with Jesus. Three Practical Takeaways 1. Lead from Jesus’ authority. Start with His word over your life and business, then set goals that match His scale, not your fear. 2. Invite God to revive “dead” areas.

Former atheist shares how 10,000 people/day meet Jesus online, and how you can partner with God to multiply kingdom business and impact. In today’s conversation, Andy interviews Marilyn Adamson (EveryStudent.com / EveryPerson.com), a former atheist turned digital evangelist with CRU. You’ll hear how long-form gospel content in 50 languages is seeing ~10,000 people per day respond to Jesus - mostly across the 10/40 window - and how authenticity checks, follow-up pathways, and smart advertising are creating sustainable fruit. We get practical on hearing God at work, stewarding opportunity, and inviting your business to fuel the harvest. Three Practical Takeaways Build with depth, not hype. Clear, long-form answers help people truly meet Jesus and continue growing. Measure what matters. Validate decisions, track follow-up (30–40% continue discipleship), and optimize stewardship. Partner with God and act. Pray, notice the opportunities already around you, then move—God multiplies aligned action.

How Christian entrepreneurs can raise expectations, let go of offense, and partner with God when outcomes don’t match the timing you hoped for. Welcome! This Heaven in Business message equips Christian entrepreneurs to partner with God at work, so you build better business and multiply Kingdom impact. As you review this year and plan the next, Andy Mason unpacks what to do when your prayers and plans didn’t land on your timeline. Using John the Baptist’s story and Jesus’ response—“blessed is the one not offended”—Andy shows how to release disappointment, anchor in truth, and raise your expectations in God, not in a specific outcome. You’ll get practical steps to choose anticipation over offense and walk into the new year with grit, joy, and Kingdom focus. Three practical takeaways (use at work this week): Lay down your “how & when.” Bring outcomes and timelines to Jesus; refuse to let unmet expectations define God’s character. Anchor in tested truth. Rehearse Scripture and recent testimonies; gratitude rewires focus and builds faith for the future. Choose anticipation over offense. Celebrate every sign of movement (even small wins) and stop comparing your timeline to others.

Discouraged? Learn a simple, biblical playbook to reset hope, hear God at work, and regain momentum as a leader. Welcome to Heaven in Business, where we help you partner with God, build better business, and multiply Kingdom impact. In this episode Andy gets real about end-of-year fatigue and fear of launching something new, then walks through Elijah’s journey to show how God meets us in discouragement, resets our focus, and gives us a practical next assignment. You’ll learn how to pause, listen for the still, small voice, and move from “adequate” survival to discipling people and building systems that outlast you. Three Practical Takeaways Name what’s really going on. After big wins that don’t shift culture, discouragement is normal. God meets you with rest and a gentle question, not a rebuke. Listen for the still, small voice. Don’t chase the next power moment; get direction in the whisper that repurposes you. Shift from platform to people. Build disciples and systems. Success without succession isn’t success.

Your next Kingdom assignment may be hidden in what you’ve been avoiding. These three stories will make you rethink “not my job.” Welcome to the Heaven in Business podcast, where we help you partner with God at work, build better business, and multiply Kingdom impact. In this episode, Andy Mason shares three powerful stories that challenge the way we view responsibility, comfort, and calling. From the birth of Jesus in the noisy family room, to the Levites’ shift from doing to mentoring, to Mordecai’s “not my job” moment that changed a nation—this episode reveals how breakthrough and Kingdom influence often begin with saying yes to what we want to avoid. If you’ve ever felt delayed, disqualified, or disconnected from purpose, this conversation will show you how God may be inviting you to step up, not step back. Read the blog here: Heaveninbusiness.com/blog/not-my-job 3 Takeaways You Can Apply Today: Stop separating God from the “messy” areas. Jesus shows up in the middle, not the margins. Retirement is not the end—it’s a repurpose. Use your experience to mentor and multiply. “Not my responsibility” might be your next promotion. Like Mordecai, favor follows obedience.
