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).

We Hit Every Goal... and Still Lost: How to Hear God in a Business Shift
When the numbers stop making sense... what do you trust? Every business leader eventually faces a season when the spreadsheets tell one story, but God seems to be telling another. That's exactly where Johnathan and Kara Sparks found themselves. After years of building a thriving construction and real estate business with Kingdom purpose, projects stalled, revenue dried up, and millions of dolla...
The Hidden Cost of Your Head-Trash
How much energy do you spend fighting negative thoughts? I didn't realize how much of my own energy was being consumed by internal conversations until recently. Thoughts like "I'm not enough," "I should be further along by now," or "I don't have what it takes" can become so familiar that they start to sound true. Janine recently shared a simple tool that has been helping her and many others dea...
