How to Lead through Mess

Right now, we’re hearing two kinds of stories from our Heaven in Business community—record-breaking wins and heart-wrenching crises. Same marketplace. Same God. Very different outcomes.

So how do Kingdom leaders navigate this tension without burning out or backing away?

God is still looking for those who will stand in the gap (Ezekiel 22:30)—not as fixers, but as faithful representatives of His heart.

This is Kingdom Leadership:

Interceding instead of criticizing

  • Owning problems even if they’re not your fault
  • Covering others in honor, not gossip
  • Forgiving fast to stay clear and sharp
  • Confronting in love rather than letting bitterness grow

These aren’t just “nice ideas”—they’re your assignment as a Kingdom leader in the real marketplace.

🔍 Biblical Case Studies: Who Stood Up? Who Stepped Back?

From Moses and Nehemiah to Esther and Jesus, the Bible shows us what standing in the gap really looks like: prayer, risk, intercession, courage, and compassion. In contrast, leaders like Saul and Solomon drifted from God’s heart—and lost legacy.

You’re not called to carry everything. But you are called to show up with Jesus’ heart.

đź’¬ Reflection Questions for This Week:

Where is there a gap in your business, team, or relationships?

A crisis? A conflict? A silence that needs courage?

What does standing in that gap look like practically?

Do you need to intercede, own, cover, forgive, or speak truth in love?

Who do you need to pray for or forgive—simply because Jesus is praying for them too?

Ask the Holy Spirit to show you one name.

Each one—from career pivots to cross-country moves—was anchored in one thing: learning to hear and trust the voice of God. These weren’t easy or obvious decisions. Most were terrifying. But looking back, I can say witho...
Who Am I Becoming? A Hard Look at My Habits
This week, I found myself asking a hard but honest question: “What kind of person are my habits shaping me into?” Not “What do I want to be,” or “What am I doing with my life,” but something deeper: Who am I actually becoming—right now—because of my daily choices? I’ve realized something I didn’t want to admit:I’m becoming more distracted. More digitally dependent. More emotionally disconnected...
