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).

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...
