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.

Former atheist shares how 10,000 people/day meet Jesus online, and how you can partner with God to multiply kingdom business and impact.

In today’s conversation, Andy interviews Marilyn Adamson (EveryStudent.com / EveryPerson.com), a former atheist turned digital evangelist with CRU. You’ll hear how long-form gospel content in 50 languages is seeing ~10,000 people per day respond to Jesus - mostly across the 10/40 window - and how authenticity checks, follow-up pathways, and smart advertising are creating sustainable fruit. We get practical on hearing God at work, stewarding opportunity, and inviting your business to fuel the harvest.

Three Practical Takeaways

1. Build with depth, not hype. Clear, long-form answers help people truly meet Jesus and continue growing.
2. Measure what matters. Validate decisions, track follow-up (30–40% continue discipleship), and optimize stewardship.
3. Partner with God and act. Pray, notice the opportunities already around you, then move—God multiplies aligned action.

How Christian entrepreneurs can raise expectations, let go of offense, and partner with God when outcomes don’t match the timing you hoped for.

Welcome! This Heaven in Business message equips Christian entrepreneurs to partner with God at work, so you build better business and multiply Kingdom impact.

As you review this year and plan the next, Andy Mason unpacks what to do when your prayers and plans didn’t land on your timeline. Using John the Baptist’s story and Jesus’ response—“blessed is the one not offended”—Andy shows how to release disappointment, anchor in truth, and raise your expectations in God, not in a specific outcome. You’ll get practical steps to choose anticipation over offense and walk into the new year with grit, joy, and Kingdom focus.

Three practical takeaways (use at work this week):

1. Lay down your “how & when.” Bring outcomes and timelines to Jesus; refuse to let unmet expectations define God’s character.
2. Anchor in tested truth. Rehearse Scripture and recent testimonies; gratitude rewires focus and builds faith for the future.
3. Choose anticipation over offense. Celebrate every sign of movement (even small wins) and stop comparing your timeline to others.
