How the Mighty Fall with Ford Taylor

Two weeks ago, I wrote about Samson and the danger of waiting too long to consecrate ourselves. It hit a nerve—because we all know what it feels like to drift.

Then my friend Ford Taylor called.

He said, “Andy, I’ve got a story for you.”
He wasn’t kidding.

Ford was leading a $300 million company. Everyone thought he was crushing it. But inside? He was slowly unraveling—until everything came crashing down.

This week’s blog and podcast unpack Ford’s real, raw journey from pride to brokenness… and how God rebuilt him into a different kind of leader.

This isn’t theory. It’s a wake-up call.

✅ Ready to pick up the scissors… before something breaks?

It’s not too late to course-correct.

Read the story. Share it with a friend. And get honest.

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 ...
