319. How to Lead through Discouragement and Regain Momentum
Discouraged? Learn a simple, biblical playbook to reset hope, hear God at work, and regain momentum as a leader.
Welcome to Heaven in Business, where we help you partner with God, build better business, and multiply Kingdom impact.
In this episode Andy gets real about end-of-year fatigue and fear of launching something new, then walks through Elijah’s journey to show how God meets us in discouragement, resets our focus, and gives us a practical next assignment. You’ll learn how to pause, listen for the still, small voice, and move from “adequate” survival to discipling people and building systems that outlast you.
Three Practical Takeaways
- Name what’s really going on. After big wins that don’t shift culture, discouragement is normal. God meets you with rest and a gentle question, not a rebuke.
- Listen for the still, small voice. Don’t chase the next power moment; get direction in the whisper that repurposes you.
- Shift from platform to people. Build disciples and systems. Success without succession isn’t success.
