In this episode, Andy Mason revisits a significant period when he and his family moved from California to Pennsylvania. Now, as they prepare for a new chapter, moving from Pennsylvania to Tennessee, Andy reflects on the guidance they received from God during their previous move and how they applied it in both personal and business strategies.

Hearing God’s Voice in Strategy:
Andy shares how they took the time to listen to God's voice and translate that into business strategy. By continually refining their approach and applying divine insight, they've built a more focused, holistic, and effective business model.

Vision, Purpose, and Mission of Heaven in Business:
Andy reflects on how their unchanged vision—to catalyze 1 million businesspeople to partner with God at work—has stayed consistent. He also emphasizes that the purpose of their work is forged through friendship with God, particularly in the workplace, and that their mission remains focused on serving business leaders who can influence their cities.

Key Learnings from the Book of Titus:
By studying the Book of Titus, Andy refined his focus and mission. He explains how Titus’s leadership on the island of Crete, a place notorious for harbor pirates and rough conditions, parallels their mission to develop business leaders in challenging environments. This study led to greater clarity on the importance of raising leaders and building strong, lasting relationships.

Refining Business Strategies:
Andy shares how their strategies have evolved, with an emphasis on serving both the “crowd” and the “few.” The crowd refers to mass outreach through resources like podcasts and books, while the few refers to deeper interactions through workshops, retreats, and executive coaching. He outlines their intentional focus on those leaders who are shaping cities and businesses.

Personal and Business Reflections:
Reflecting on how they protected their priorities, Andy speaks about managing time effectively, setting up customer meetings, and creating blocks of time for deep work. His experience reminds listeners of the importance of structure, balance, and being led by conviction.

Application for Listeners:
Whether you're in sales, property management, or any industry, Andy encourages listeners to seek God’s commissioning for their work. He also offers practical advice on how to remove distractions, refine your focus, and confidently pursue what God has called you to do.

Andy ends the episode by encouraging listeners to apply the insights they've learned, refine their own strategies, and build with the confidence that history will show they “built better than they knew.” For those interested in learning more, Andy invites them to join the Heaven in Business community.
