Scripture Anchor: “He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.” — Psalm 37:6 (NIV) In 2017, Sean and his partners faced what felt like a death sentence for their business. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) launched a full-scale investigation against their investment advisory firm, ten allegations, six years of legal warfare, and public branding as guilty before trial. But Sean and his team had a word from God: “Full exoneration and dismissal.” That word became their anchor as they refused false settlements, corrected their language from “if” to “when,” and clung to faith in the face of fear. In September 2023, after years of scrutiny, every single charge was dismissed. No fines. No settlement. No guilt. Just as God promised: full exoneration. This episode unpacks the journey from accusation to certification, and the Kingdom leadership blueprint it reveals. Lessons for Leaders God’s Word Anchors You — A promise bigger than the problem keeps you steady in the storm. Integrity Is Non-Negotiable — Don’t settle for an easier way if it costs your reputation. Systems Prove Integrity — Faith is not a substitute for sound accounting and governance. Community Sustains Courage — You need voices of hope and correction when strength runs low. Trials Don’t Block Favor — Pressure and promotion often run side by side. Leadership Blueprint Build faith on God’s promises. Build courage in community. Build integrity into your systems before the trial ever comes. Because under pressure, you don’t rise to the level of your intentions, you fall to the level of your systems. Next steps: What is the Holy Spirit speaking to you about from this case study? What will you do differently as a result?

In this powerful and personal episode, Andy Mason shares what he's been hearing from God after returning from an international journey of listening, learning, and leading. From setting up a new strategic base to hosting their first worship night in their new home, Andy dives into themes of transition, leadership failure, spiritual drift, and the critical call to consecration. He explores insights from the books How the Mighty Fall by Jim Collins and Necessary Endings by Dr. Henry Cloud—and how these principles overlay with the repeated leadership failures we see in Scripture, particularly in the life of Samson. The episode culminates in a gripping and imaginative retelling of Samson’s story—what could have happened if he had chosen humility before humiliation. It’s an invitation to stop pretending, cut your own hair, and walk boldly in obedience with God. 🗝️ Key Themes: The 5 stages of decline (from How the Mighty Fall) The importance of pruning (Necessary Endings) Why good leaders fall—biblical and modern-day reflections The call to internal consecration, not just external appearances What Samson’s story teaches us about surrender, identity, and strength 🧠 Ask Yourself: Where have I settled for external appearance over internal consecration? What am I holding onto that God is asking me to lay down? What does it look like for me to “cut my own hair” in this season? 📖 Scriptures Referenced: Judges 17–21 Isaiah 26 Joshua 3:5 Matthew 4:4 📚 Resources Mentioned: How the Mighty Fall by Jim Collins Necessary Endings by Dr. Henry Cloud The Book of Judges HeaveninBusiness.com – for training, connection, and activation 💬 Connect with Us: Website: HeaveninBusiness.com Instagram: @HeaveninBusiness YouTube: Heaven in Business Channel 🎧 Listen now and be stirred to move from appearances to authenticity, from drifting to decisive, and from leading alone to walking humbly with God.
