    354. What the Bible Says About Business
    2026/07/22

    What if the Bible has far more to say about business than you've ever been taught?

    In this episode, Andy Mason talks with Nicholas Leone, founder of The Business Bible, about discovering God's blueprint for work, leadership, and purpose.

    Listen to the podcast here: heaveninbusiness.com/podcast

    Nicholas shares his remarkable story, from supernatural encounters with Scripture as a child to careers in hockey, Wall Street, and seminary, and explains why he believes the Bible is fundamentally a book about life, work, and partnering with God.

    Together they discuss:

    • Why business matters to God
    • The surprising number of business leaders throughout Scripture
    • How to move beyond simply reading the Bible to knowing the Author
    • Why success alone isn't enough
    • Practical ways business leaders can begin engaging with Scripture today

    Whether you're a CEO, entrepreneur, manager, or simply want to integrate your faith and work more deeply, this episode offers practical wisdom and fresh perspective.

    Learn more about Nicholas Leone’s work, order the Business Bible, or download the Business Bible app at BusinessBible.com.

    And if this conversation stirs something in you - if you want to be in the room with other business leaders who are asking how to hear God, build with God, and bring Scripture into daily business decisions - join us this August in Dallas for the Heaven in Business Conference

    353. How Can I Pray for You?
    2026/07/15

    How do ordinary believers bring the Kingdom of God into everyday life?

    In this episode, Andy Mason shares practical stories of simple obedience that led to extraordinary outcomes, from unexpected business favor to record-breaking harvests. He also unpacks new research highlighting the opportunity pastors have to equip marketplace believers as everyday missionaries.

    Read the blog here: Heaveninbusiness.com/blog

    Rather than waiting for someone else to make a difference, Andy offers three practical actions anyone can begin today:

    • Pray with people.
    • Meet with them, hear their story, and encourage them.
    • Share testimonies of what God is already doing.

    Whether you're a pastor, entrepreneur, business owner, employee, or leader, this conversation will encourage you to step into the arena and become an active participant in what God is doing around you.

    It Really Is Easier Than You Think

    Of myself, I can do nothing. But with God, nothing is impossible.

    Find someone. Ask six words. Pray. Set the next meeting. Tell the story.

    Let's see what God will do.
