    339. Is Your Christian Business a Den of Thieves?

    Is Your Christian Business a Den of Thieves? An Easter Confrontation from Matthew 21 What if Jesus walked into your business today… and flipped the tables? In this Easter reflection, we step into one of the most confronting moments in Scripture—when Jesus enters the temple and declares: “My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.” (Matthew 21:13 NKJV) This isn’t just a story about corruption in the temple. It’s a mirror for every Christian leader, founder, and entrepreneur. Because the people Jesus confronted weren’t outsiders. They were operating in God’s name… but without God actually leading. In this episode, we unpack: What a “house of prayer” really looks like in business How a “den of thieves” can subtly form—even with good intentions The dangerous drift of momentum without dependence Why success without God may actually be misalignment Practical diagnostic questions to reveal who’s really leading your business. This is not about obvious sin. It’s about something far more subtle—and far more common: Building something that works… without needing God. If you’re a Kingdom-minded leader who wants to build with God—not just for Him—this episode will challenge, realign, and invite you back into true partnership. Read the Blog here: Heaveninbusiness.com/blog/is-your-christian-business-a-den-of-thieves Key Takeaways: Success is not the same as obedience God’s presence—not performance—is the distinguishing factor Drift happens subtly through independence, not rebellion Prayer is not occasional—it is governing You can reference God without being led by Him Subscribe for weekly insights to grow your faith and business → Heaveninbusiness.com/newsletters/weekly-insights/subscribe Next steps: Join us at an upcoming event Heaveninbusiness.com/events Share this with someone you know who will be challenged and encouraged.

    338. How to Build a Business that doesn't depend on you

    What if the biggest bottleneck in your business… is you? In this episode, Andy Mason shares a behind-the-scenes look at a week in Colorado—traveling through Castle Rock, Loveland, and Breckenridge—mentoring business leaders, building relationships, and experiencing what it really looks like to do life and business with God. Out of that week comes a powerful realization: 👉 If your business only works when you’re there… it’s not really a business. This episode unpacks: Why God told His people to step away in their busiest seasons (Exodus 23 & 34) How that applies to business owners today (without being irresponsible) What it looks like to build systems, leaders, and trust How to shift from hustle-driven growth to God-aligned increase This is not about working less. It’s about building differently. Read the blog here: Heaveninbusiness.com/blog/build-a-business-not-dependant-on-you 3 Practical Takeaways 1. God isn't asking you to leave your business - He's asking you to build it differently. 2. Find a place where your business is too dependent on you and ask yourself, "What's one step I can take to begin changing that?" 3. Do an audit: Evaluate areas where growth is coming from hustling, control, etc. instead of alignment, stewardship, and God's favor.  🔔 Subscribe for weekly insights to grow your faith and business → Heaveninbusiness.com/newsletters/weekly-insights/subscribe Next steps: 1.

    337. How to Build Without Costly Drift

    Welcome to Heaven in Business, where we help Christian leaders partner with God, build better business, and multiply Kingdom impact. In this episode, Andy Mason shares a personal and timely message on kingdom alignment. Using the picture of a truck needing alignment, he unpacks how even fruitful, successful people can slowly drift out of alignment with God. This conversation challenges Christian entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone in marketplace ministry to examine whether they are building from surrender or simply running ahead with momentum. Andy reframes maturity not as independence, but as deeper dependence on God—living as a son in identity, a servant in posture, and a steward in responsibility. Read the blog here: Heaveninbusiness.com/blog/build-without-costly-drift 3 practical takeaways  Practice a pre-decision pause. Before making key decisions, stop and ask: “God, what are You doing here?” Don’t let momentum make choices that belong to presence. Build return moments into your day. Set reminders to reconnect with God throughout the day. A simple pause can help you hear God at work and realign your heart before drift becomes direction. Respond quickly when God speaks. Obedience keeps you aligned. Hearing and obeying are deeply connected, so when God highlights something, act on it.  🔔 Subscribe for weekly insights to grow your faith and business → https://www.heaveninbusiness.com/newsletters/weekly-insights/subscribe Next Steps: 1.

    336. Kingdom Business Looks Like Something

    Welcome to Heaven in Business—where we equip you to partner with God, build better business, and multiply Kingdom impact. In this message, Andy Mason challenges the idea that “kingdom business” is just a concept. Instead, it looks like something tangible: expressed through daily obedience, alignment with God, and Spirit-led decisions in real-world business situations. Through powerful stories, from loss in agriculture to bold ethical decisions in business, you’ll see that kingdom impact is not about perfection, but about walking with God in the middle of uncertainty, risk, and growth. Read the blog here: Heaveninbusiness.com/blog/kingdom-business-looks-like-something Three Practical Takeaways 1. Kingdom business starts with alignment, not outcomes. Before chasing growth, pause and ask: What in my life is aligned—or misaligned—with God? Transformation begins internally. 2. Obedience unlocks supernatural provision. Whether it’s saying no to a major client or pivoting your entire strategy, kingdom business often looks like risky obedience that leads to unexpected breakthrough. 3. Your life is the message Kingdom business isn’t just what you build. It’s how people experience you. Your words, actions, and presence should reflect Christ in the workplace. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly insights to grow your faith and business → Heaveninbusiness.com/newsletters/weekly-insights/subscribe Next steps: 1.
