Heaven in Business Podcast

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.

Learn how to overcome fear, trust God in risk, and lead courageously — stories from Zimbabwe that show faith grows when you step beyond comfort. In this episode, Janine Mason shares real-life stories from Zimbabwe that reveal how fear shows up in every season, and how God meets you when you step forward anyway. From terrifying gorge swings to crocodile-filled rivers, these moments became powerful lessons in courage, trust, and leadership. You’ll walk away knowing that courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s the decision to move forward with God in the fear. 3 Practical Takeaways Courage starts with awareness.

When Grief Meets Grace Episode Overview: What do you say to a church grieving the sudden loss of their pastor? Andy Mason shares a powerful story from Isaiah 54 that reveals how God meets us in loss—not with shame, but with purpose and expansion. Standing under a literal tent with a thousand believers, Andy experienced firsthand what it means when God’s Word comes alive in real time: “Enlarge the place of your tent… you will not be put to shame.” If you’ve ever faced a delay, disappointment, or disruption that made no sense, this message is for you. What feels like a setback may actually be God’s setup—preparing your heart, expanding your capacity, and positioning you for something greater. Key Takeaways: Delays can be divine — What looks like a detour may be God arranging divine appointments you couldn’t schedule yourself. Disruptions develop leaders — When you’re unavailable, others step up and grow. Surrender brings strength — Trusting God’s timing releases peace, perspective, and purpose. Reflection Prayer: “Jesus, I yield my plans, my control, and my timing to You. Thank You that You are working all things according to Your will. Teach me to rest, trust, and see the setup inside the setback.” Next Steps: Explore the Heaven in Business Growth Path → https://heaveninbusiness.com/growth-path Read the Blog

Learn how to hear God clearly and stand firm in a culture of injustice, fear, and compromise. This is not motivation—it’s a call to Kingdom clarity. How to hear God in chaos Welcome to Heaven in Business, where we help you partner with God at work, build better business, and multiply Kingdom impact. In this episode, Andy Mason uncovers a widely misunderstood scripture—Habakkuk 2:2—and shows why it's not about writing down your goals or creating a dream board. Instead, it's a call to receive and steward God’s vision in turbulent times. Andy walks through the sobering context of Habakkuk's prophetic message and how eerily similar it is to the culture we live in today. Rather than motivational fluff, this is a summons to surrender, listen, and align with God's purposes—especially in your business decisions. You’ll also hear the compelling story of a couple who shut down their company and rebuilt it fully surrendered to God—with remarkable results. Three Practical Takeaways: 1. Climb the Watchtower: Make space to hear God’s voice above media noise. 2. Expect Correction: Don’t just seek comfort—allow God to challenge and realign you. 3. Write His Vision: Stop pursuing personal ambition and start stewarding divine strategy. Next steps: Don’t just read this, do it. Set aside some time to listen and wait patiently on Him to respond If you need some help in hearing God’s voice, get yourself a copy of Listen Up!

Scripture Anchor: “He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.” — Psalm 37:6 (NIV) In 2017, Sean and his partners faced what felt like a death sentence for their business. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) launched a full-scale investigation against their investment advisory firm, ten allegations, six years of legal warfare, and public branding as guilty before trial. But Sean and his team had a word from God: “Full exoneration and dismissal.” That word became their anchor as they refused false settlements, corrected their language from “if” to “when,” and clung to faith in the face of fear. In September 2023, after years of scrutiny, every single charge was dismissed. No fines. No settlement. No guilt. Just as God promised: full exoneration. This episode unpacks the journey from accusation to certification, and the Kingdom leadership blueprint it reveals. Lessons for Leaders God’s Word Anchors You — A promise bigger than the problem keeps you steady in the storm. Integrity Is Non-Negotiable — Don’t settle for an easier way if it costs your reputation. Systems Prove Integrity — Faith is not a substitute for sound accounting and governance. Community Sustains Courage — You need voices of hope and correction when strength runs low. Trials Don’t Block Favor — Pressure and promotion often run side by side. Leadership Blueprint Build faith on God’s promises. Build courage in community. Build integrity into your systems before the trial ever comes. Because under pressure, you don’t rise to the level of your intentions, you fall to the level of your systems. Next steps: What is the Holy Spirit speaking to you about from this case study? What will you do differently as a result?
