Demon or Deadline? Why Stewardship Beats “Spiritual Attack” Excuses

When things go sideways in business, we often blame “spiritual attack.” Sometimes that’s real - we’ve seen it (including a six-year federal lawsuit one leader endured). But most of the time, the pain points are preventable: missed follow-through, weak systems, fuzzy leadership.

This week, I share two real-world examples:
• a founder who vacated leadership (and watched culture drift), and
• a Christian business owner who called it “warfare” while ignoring invoices, emails, and accountability...

and then we unpack a simple 4-box diagnostic to quickly discern what you’re facing: the Lord’s discipline, a stewardship gap, true opposition, or fallout from others, and the right biblical response to each.

If you’re tired of spinning spiritual language while the wheels fall off, this is your wake-up (and step-up).

When the Messiah Doesn’t “Messiah” You: Raising Your Expectations for the New Year
As we wrap up the year and look toward the next, many Christian business leaders feel the tension between bold faith and delayed results. You’ve prayed, planned, acted—and yet the outcomes haven’t arrived on your timeline. So what do you do when the Messiah doesn’t seem to “Messiah” for you? This tension isn’t new. John the Baptist experienced the same conflict in Matthew 11. After years of rad...
