How to Lead through Discouragement and Regain Momentum

I’ll be honest, I’ve been wrestling with discouragement.

As we build the new Heaven in Business Growth Path, there are days I find myself staring at the screen thinking, “Is this even worth it?”

Maybe you’ve been there too, doing good work, seeing fruit, but feeling tired or disappointed that things haven’t moved as fast as you hoped.

That’s when God reminded me of Elijah.

After calling down fire from heaven, Elijah expected revival, but instead, he hit exhaustion. Under the broom tree, he told God, â€śI’ve had enough.”

And God’s response?
Not a rebuke. Not another big assignment. Just a nap, a meal… and a whisper.

Sometimes that’s what leadership recovery looks like: rest, nourishment, and quiet.

When Elijah finally listened, God said, “Go back the way you came and anoint others.”
In other words, you’re not done; you’re called to multiply.

3 Keys to Regain Momentum

  1. Refocus on intimacy, not activity. Return to relationship before results.

  2. Redefine success. It’s not what you achieve—it’s who you develop.

  3. Recommit to multiplication. Build systems and people that outlast you.

If you’re feeling weary, remember:
You’re not finished—you’re being refined.
The same God who brought fire on the mountain also whispers life in the silence.

So rest, eat, listen… and then lead again.

This week’s podcast and blog are a field note...
From Quiet Time to All-the-Time: Keys to Building Kingdom Business
If our faith is limited to a squeezed-in quiet time, we’ll keep trying to lead the rest of the week on our own strength and wonder why wisdom feels thin, and results don’t last. Jesus’ invitation is bigger: walk with Me. Not just in the morning, but in meetings, decisions, pressure, and performance moments. At Heaven in Business, our heart is to help leaders partner with God in real time, build...
What We Learned Visiting Ramsey Solutions: A Case Study in Enduring, Countercultural Leadership
Recently, a small group of us had the opportunity to visit Ramsey Solutions in Franklin, Tennessee. Many of us have heard Dave Ramsey for years, but walking the halls, experiencing the culture firsthand, and debriefing together revealed something deeper than a successful media company. This wasn’t a tour about tactics.It was a living case study in conviction, endurance, and alignment over time....
