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).

Both miss something valuable. I sat down with Randy Griffin, former pastor, business owner, and now C12 Chair, to talk about what each side wis...

What if Walking With God Was Normal?
