Heaven in Business Podcast

Show Notes

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.
