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 dollars never arrived.

Their breakthrough didn't begin with better forecasts.

It began with a better question.

Instead of asking, "How do we get the numbers back?" they asked, "God, what are You doing in this season?"

The answer reshaped everything.

Your greatest resource isn't your cash flow. It's your connection with God and your ability to hear His voice.

Sometimes God isn't shrinking your future- He's expanding your capacity for it.

If you're walking through a season that doesn't make financial sense, this conversation will encourage you to keep building on obedience rather than fear.

Listen to Johnathan and Kara's story on the Heaven in Business Podcast and read the full blog below:

In our latest conversation with Dave Buehring, founder of LionShare, we explore what it looks like to see the people you lead as part of the stewardship God has entrusted to you. A f...
You Are Part of This
After 15 years of Heaven in Business, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: information alone isn’t enough. We need relationship, discipleship, and people to walk alongside us. Following Jesus in the intersection of faith, family, and business can be messy. There is pressure, conflict, correction, failure, growth, and what Andy calls “covenant friction.” But often, that friction is exactly ...
