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.

Are You Ready to Level Up? The Truth About Growth, Success, and the First Self-Help Program
Most of us say we want to level up. We feel the pull to grow, to build, to steward more, but this week we hit something deeper. What if the way we’ve been taught to grow is actually working against us? The world says: do more, be more, become more. But that voice, it’s not new. It started in the Garden.  “You’re not enough.” That’s the lie. And the moment we believe it, we disconnect from the v...
How to Build a Business that Doesn't Depend on You
Last week while Andy and Janine were in Colorado, something shifted. Between workshops, conversations, and time with business leaders, what stood out most wasn’t the content, it was the proximity. Life shared in real time. Prayer in the middle of the day. Conversations that went deeper than strategy. It reminded me: this is how Jesus led. Not through events alone, but through relationship and p...
How to Build Without Costly Drift
  This week on Heaven in Business, we’re tackling a subtle but critical challenge for every Christian leader: drift. In this episode, Andy Mason shares a powerful picture of what it looks like to be “out of alignment”. Not the kind that's because of failure, but because of success without surrender. Without yieldedness. It’s possible to be productive, impactful, and still slowly move off course...
