What if feeling under qualified isn’t a sign you’re in the wrong assignment, but evidence that God is inviting you to depend on Him?

In this episode of the Heaven in Business Podcast, Janine discusses what it looks like to lead when you don’t have all the answers, feel out of your depth, or wonder whether everyone else in the room is more qualified than you.

God often places us in situations where our experience, expertise, or résumé isn’t enough. Instead of withdrawing, striving to prove ourselves, or giving in to impostor syndrome, we can learn to stay engaged, listen to God, and trust Him to provide the wisdom we need. Sometimes being the least experienced person in the room keeps you curious, teachable, and dependent on Him in ways expertise alone never could. You don’t need to have all the answers to lead well. You need the humility to keep learning, the courage to stay engaged, and the confidence that who you are is enough because God is with you.

After 15 years of Heaven in Business, one thing has become increasingly clear: we were never meant to navigate faith, family, and business alone.

In this episode, Andy Mason reflects on what we learned from the recent Dallas conference, why leaders are hungry for more than information, and how relationships, discipleship, and even “covenant friction” help us grow.

He also shares what’s ahead through the Hope Directive, including trips to Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Brazil, and the heart behind strengthening and equipping local leaders rather than simply hosting events.

But the biggest challenge is much closer to home: Who has God already placed in front of you? Your employees, coworkers, family, customers, and community may be your greatest opportunity to make a Kingdom impact.

You don’t need another platform to start. Pray for them. Listen to them. Encourage them. Walk with them. Help them grow. Plus, hear what’s coming next with Heaven in Business, including Scottsdale, Nashville, and Growth Path, and how you can give, go, grow, and help multiply what God is doing.

Next Steps:

1. Give. Through the Hope Directive, you can help fund travel, training, translation, resources, and ongoing investment into trusted leaders around the world: Give through the Hope Directive
