Is Your Christian Business a Den of Thieves?

An Easter Confrontation from Matthew 21

What if Jesus walked into your business today… and flipped the tables? In this Easter reflection, we step into one of the most confronting moments in Scripture—when Jesus enters the temple and declares: “My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.” (Matthew 21:13 NKJV)

This isn’t just a story about corruption in the temple. It’s a mirror for every Christian leader, founder, and entrepreneur. Because the people Jesus confronted weren’t outsiders. They were operating in God’s name… but without God actually leading.

In this episode, we unpack: What a “house of prayer” really looks like in business How a “den of thieves” can subtly form—even with good intentions The dangerous drift of momentum without dependence Why success without God may actually be misalignment Practical diagnostic questions to reveal who’s really leading your business.

This is not about obvious sin. It’s about something far more subtle—and far more common: Building something that works… without needing God. If you’re a Kingdom-minded leader who wants to build with God—not just for Him—this episode will challenge, realign, and invite you back into true partnership.

• Success is not the same as obedience
• God’s presence—not performance—is the distinguishing factor
• Drift happens subtly through independence, not rebellion
• Prayer is not occasional—it is governing
• You can reference God without being led by Him

What if the biggest bottleneck in your business… is you?

In this episode, Andy Mason shares a behind-the-scenes look at a week in Colorado—traveling through Castle Rock, Loveland, and Breckenridge—mentoring business leaders, building relationships, and experiencing what it really looks like to do life and business with God.

Out of that week comes a powerful realization: 👉 If your business only works when you’re there… it’s not really a business.

This episode unpacks: Why God told His people to step away in their busiest seasons (Exodus 23 & 34) How that applies to business owners today (without being irresponsible) What it looks like to build systems, leaders, and trust How to shift from hustle-driven growth to God-aligned increase This is not about working less. It’s about building differently.

1. God isn't asking you to leave your business - He's asking you to build it differently.

2. Find a place where your business is too dependent on you and ask yourself, "What's one step I can take to begin changing that?"

3. Do an audit: Evaluate areas where growth is coming from hustling, control, etc. instead of alignment, stewardship, and God's favor.
