How to Build Business Without Losing Your Soul (or family!)

What’s the point of building a business if it costs you your marriage, your joy, or your sense of self?

This week on the podcast, I sat down with two longtime friends - Dave Charlson ("King of Cat Litter" from the story I share in chapter 1 of God With You at Work) and Blair Reynolds, who are on a mission to help entrepreneurs grow emotionally healthy. These guys don’t just coach; they’ve walked through the fire of burnout, breakdown, and business identity loss… and come out the other side with tools that actually work.

Their message is clear:
1. You don’t need to sacrifice yourself or your family to succeed.
2. There is a better way - one that starts with rediscovering who God made you to be.

If you’ve felt disconnected, stuck in performance, or simply overwhelmed… this conversation will speak straight to your heart.

  • Top Symptoms You’re Not Okay
  • Why “strategy” won’t fix identity wounds
  • What happens when you find emotional safety + get honest
  • Real stories of breakthrough from clients like Mike Busby (CMA Album of the Year)

But sometimes the very thing that makes you feel unqualified is what keeps you dependent on Him—and that dependence may be exactly what the assignment requires. Key Tak...
You Don't Have an Employee Problem. You Have a Disciple-Making Problem
What if your employee problem is actually a disciple-making opportunity? As a business leader, it’s easy to focus on hiring, managing, correcting, and rewarding people. But what about intentionally developing them? In our latest conversation with Dave Buehring, founder of LionShare, we explore what it looks like to see the people you lead as part of the stewardship God has entrusted to you. A f...
You Are Part of This
After 15 years of Heaven in Business, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: information alone isn’t enough. We need relationship, discipleship, and people to walk alongside us. Following Jesus in the intersection of faith, family, and business can be messy. There is pressure, conflict, correction, failure, growth, and what Andy calls “covenant friction.” But often, that friction is exactly ...
