Faith After the Fall: Rebuilding When Everything Collapses with Victor Mena on Exploring the Marketplace (S:5 - Ep 27)

Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn and Bob welcome back Victor Mena, an executive banker with over 30 years of experience and a reputation as a trusted advisor. Since his last appearance, Victor has walked through the collapse of the bank where he spent 28 years—losing a career, deferred compensation, and long-term security nearly overnight.

Victor shares how God sustained him and his family through loss, spiritual warfare, and uncertainty—and how faith, unity in marriage, generosity, and wise counsel helped lead him into a new season of leadership and influence.

This episode covers:

• What happens when a successful career suddenly ends
• Faith, identity, and stewardship during financial loss
• The biblical tension between debt, borrowing, and business growth
• Practical guardrails for using debt wisely in entrepreneurship
• Why unity, generosity, and peace are critical decision filters
• How God redeems loss and creates new opportunity through obedience

If you’re an entrepreneur, leader, banker, business owner—or navigating major financial or career decisions—this conversation will give you wisdom, courage, and perspective for the road ahead.

🎧 Explore the Marketplace helps you hear God in your career and bring kingdom values into the marketplace.
