You're busy building, pushing, and believing for more—but what happens when God interrupts your plans with fire?** In this powerful episode of Leveraging Success, Jeff Gerhart sits down with Steven Nooner, co-founder of Superpowers. They explore the day Steven’s newly rebuilt equipment shed burned down minutes after he declared “It is finished,” and how that moment became a powerful lesson in faith, stewardship, and kingdom leadership.

Steven shares how he processed the loss, chose to praise God in the fire, and turned the situation into an opportunity to glorify Him. The conversation dives deep into why many entrepreneurs hit brick walls they should walk around, the power of journaling as an inventory of God’s favor, and what true kingdom leadership looks like when no one is watching.

This episode is filled with wisdom on redemptive suffering, getting out of your own way, creating margin, and making daily deposits in what matters most.
