Is it spiritual warfare or your own lack of diligence or attention to details and deadlines? Learn how to discern and lead with integrity. 
Join the upcoming webinar on Jesus, AI & Business: Learn to steward your authority and rightly steward AI tools for Kingdom centered business growth: Heaveninbusiness.com/jesus-business-ai 
Welcome to Heaven in Business, where we help you navigate the intersection of faith, family, and business. In this eye-opening episode, Andy Mason asks a vital question every Christian entrepreneur must wrestle with: Is it a demon—or just a missed deadline? Too often, we blame spiritual warfare for what’s really a failure of diligence, leadership, or planning. Andy shares four practical filters that will help you rightly discern adversity and respond with wisdom. If you're ready to stop hiding behind “spiritual attack” excuses and start building a business that reflects the Kingdom, this is your wake-up call. 
Practical Takeaways: 
1. Use the 4-D diagnostic: Discipline, Diligence, Demonic, or Decisions of others? 
2. Stop spiritualizing dysfunction—excellence is part of Kingdom leadership. 
3. Build strong, “hardened” systems to avoid unnecessary attack or burnout.
