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.
