    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.

After a major conference filled with testimonies and Kingdom impact, he found himself battling anxiety, comparison, and uncertainty.Instead of hiding it, Andy walks through how he reset his perspective, returned to God’s presence, and found clarity again—offering practical tools you can apply in your business and leadership. Read the blog here: Heaveninbusiness.com/blog/hearing-god-when-overwhelmed Three Practical Takeaways for Business Leaders 1. Anchor Your Identity Before You Lead Overwhelm often starts when we move from partnering with God to trying to control outcomes ourselves. Re-anchor in who you are: a loved son or daughter, a steward, and a leader partnering with God. 2. Write Truth When Your Mind Feels Chaotic Andy shares how journaling declarations rooted in Scripture helped him cut through anxiety and confusion. Writing down truth helps you reconnect with God’s perspective and hear His voice clearly. 3. Build a Rhythm: Presence → Listen → Act Kingdom leadership flows from relationship first. Start in God’s presence, listen for His guidance, then act with clarity.

    334. Heaven in Business Conference Recap: Surrender that Multiplies Impact

    A Heaven in Business Conference recap on surrender, hearing God at work, and building kingdom business that multiplies impact through presence-led leadership.   Welcome to the Heaven in Business podcast—where we explore the intersection of faith, family, and business, and what it looks like to partner with God, build better business, and multiply Kingdom impact.  In this episode, Janine Mason recaps the Heaven in Business Conference with leaders from around the world—and highlights the thread God emphasized again and again: surrender. Not surrender as weakness, but surrender as yielded partnership—learning to live from God’s presence, breaking agreement with performance, and taking step-by-step obedience that creates room for God’s provision and multiplication.   Read the blog here: Heaveninbusiness.com/blog/conference-recap Three Practical Takeaways (workplace applicable)   1. Practice presence before you problem-solve Start your day (or your next stressful moment) with a simple prayer: “I am here.” Pause and listen for God’s response: “I am here.” Your peace becomes a leadership advantage when you lead from relationship.   2. Break up with striving—lead from identity One of the recurring themes was freedom from an “orphan” mindset—where you perform to feel safe, valuable, or approved. Choose leadership from sonship/daughterhood (secure, loved, led), not pressure-driven hustle.   3. Let surrender turn pressure into partnership The stories shared at conference all carried the same DNA: yielded, often inconvenient obedience—one step at a time. Surrender doesn’t shrink your business; it positions you for multiplication with God.   🔔 Subscribe for weekly insights to grow your faith and business → Heaveninbusiness.com/newsletters/weekly-insights/subscribe   Next steps:  1.

    333. How a Truck Crisis Taught Me About Faith

    Kingdom crisis keys for Christian business leaders: hear God at work, stay rooted in love, and respond with wisdom when pressure and uncertainty hit. Welcome to The Conversation—the Heaven in Business podcast with Andy Mason, helping you navigate the messy intersection of faith, family, and business. In this short, “fresh testimony,” Andy shares what happened last week while traveling between Ohio and Illinois after buying a secondhand truck. When a check engine light sparked a real-time crisis decision under pressure. Instead of reacting from fear, shame, or accusation, he chose a Kingdom response: stay rooted and grounded in love (Ephesians 3:14–21) and let Christ rule the “decision seat” of the heart—then watch how God opens a way forward. Read the Blog Here Three Practical Takeaways (Keys to Handle Crisis) 1. Notice the “indicator lights” early. Small warnings can save you big pain later, pause and get clarity instead of pushing through on adrenaline. 2. Choose response over reaction (love as your baseline). Pressure reveals who’s ruling your heart. When you’re rooted in love, you don’t have to protect, prove, defend, or attack, you can respond with peace and wisdom. 3. Lead with integrity and calm communication. Andy contrasts two crisis postures—fear/shame/accusation vs. anchored love—and shows how that changes the conversation and outcome with the dealer.
