    359. What Will You Do if You Can't Quit?

    What happens when God gives you the green light—and then everything seems to go wrong? Joseph and Brittany Williams know what it’s like to build under pressure. While launching and acquiring businesses, they faced a lawsuit, the loss of a major contract, growing payroll, young children, exhaustion, and serious strain on their marriage. In this vulnerable conversation with Jonathan and Kara Sparks, Joseph and Brittany share what that season exposed: where identity had become attached to achievement, where trust in God was actually trust in their own gifts and resources, and what happened when their normal ability to “figure it out” stopped working. Read the blog here: Heaveninbusiness.com/blog They also get practical about marriage under entrepreneurial pressure, learning to stop using each other as the source, break cycles of toxic complaining, receive correction, seek wise counsel, and discover that failure doesn’t necessarily mean you missed God. One of the most challenging ideas in the conversation: What if success isn’t always the win? What if obedience sometimes means taking the loss, letting something go, or trusting God with an outcome you desperately wanted to control?

    358. Pastor and Business Leader: What We Wish We Knew

    Pastors and business leaders need each other—but too often, they don’t understand each other’s worlds. In this episode, Andy Mason sits down with Randy Griffin, a former pastor, business owner, and current C12 Chair, to explore how we can bridge the gap between church and marketplace. Read the blog here: Heaveninbusiness.com/blog You’ll discover: What business leaders wish their pastors understood Why business leaders are already doing ministry at work What pastors wish business leaders understood about them Why business leaders are more than donors or volunteers Practical ways pastors can better equip marketplace leaders How humility and mutual honor can strengthen both sides Pastors don’t need to become business experts, and business leaders don’t need to become pastors. But each carries something the other needs. It’s time to break down the sacred/secular divide, build the bridge, and equip believers to demonstrate the Kingdom of God everywhere—including Monday morning at work.

    356. What if Walking with God Was Normal?

    What if hearing God's voice at work was meant to be normal? Bill Job spent more than three decades building businesses in China—not because he had the perfect business background, but because he learned to recognize God's voice and follow it one decision at a time.
