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. Ask where hope or initiative has been buried; make one concrete change to act on renewed faith this quarter.

3. Trade disappointment for focus. List what God is doing, celebrate small wins, and double down on the fruit you’re seeing.

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.

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.

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.”

Welcome to the Heaven in Business podcast with Andy Mason where we help you navigate the messy intersection of faith, family, and business. This episode will strengthen your marriage and leadership by sharing a key principle that sustains both.

In this episode, Andy shares how one overlooked habit, intentional time away, protects what matters most.

He also explains the different types of Heaven in Business events and how to know which one is right for you. Whether you're leading a business, a marriage, or both, this episode gives you a clear path to deeper connection and multiplied influence.

Join the upcoming webinar on Jesus, AI & Business: Learn to steward your authority and rightly steward AI tools for Kingdom centered business growth: Heaveninbusiness.com/jesus-business-ai

Welcome to Heaven in Business, where we help you navigate the intersection of faith, family, and business. In this eye-opening episode, Andy Mason asks a vital question every Christian entrepreneur must wrestle with: Is it a demon—or just a missed deadline? Too often, we blame spiritual warfare for what’s really a failure of diligence, leadership, or planning. Andy shares four practical filters that will help you rightly discern adversity and respond with wisdom. If you're ready to stop hiding behind “spiritual attack” excuses and start building a business that reflects the Kingdom, this is your wake-up call.

Practical Takeaways:

1. Use the 4-D diagnostic: Discipline, Diligence, Demonic, or Decisions of others?

2. Stop spiritualizing dysfunction—excellence is part of Kingdom leadership.

3. Build strong, “hardened” systems to avoid unnecessary attack or burnout.
