We discuss the importance of a vision and how to communicate a vision breaking it down into 3 parts. Transcript Below: Welcome to How to Build a Tent. This show is not about tent-building, but how to make you successful. What is the vision for your life? What is the vision for your family? What is the vision for your career? What is the vision for your ministry? What has God called you to do on this Earth? A vision is so important because it impacts how you act. So, today we are gonna be talking about just that – vision.

Thank you for listening and supporting the show. So, what is a vision? In my mind, a vision is nothing more than a picture of the future, a picture of where you want to go as an individual, as an organization, and what you want that future to look like in vivid detail. Why is a vision so important? A vision is important because it impacts how you act today. What you think of the future, where you think you are going, what you think the future holds for you, is gonna determine how you act and how you behave today. And the Bible gives us so many great examples of that, starting with Jesus.  His vision was for the kingdom to come. And he, throughout the Gospels, always talked about that. He talked about the kingdom of God is at hand. The kingdom is at hand. And what did he say? He said, Repent, repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand. He understood the vision that God gave him, and he fulfilled that through his life. And he called others to buy in to that vision, to realize that vision. And he called them to repent, which is to change your mind, to stop thinking about t he future one way, to stop thinking about life one way, to stop thinking about yourself in one way, and to change that into thinking his way, based on the vision that God gave him, the kingdom of God. You think of the apostles. Jesus gave them a vision, follow me, I’m gonna make you fishers of men. They had a vision of what they were doing following Jesus. They were gonna go become fishers of men. And what did they have to do? They left their nets. They left their tax collector booth. They left their assassins’ daggers. And they came, and they followed Jesus. What you think about the future is gonna impact your actions today. And that is the power of a vision. You think about Paul. I love this. In Colossians Chapter 1, 21 through 23, he lays out all the perfect elements of a vision. And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him. if, indeed, you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of a gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister. I love this section, and I love Paul’s articulation of this because it gives the components of his vision, and Paul’s life can be described as someone who got the vision, who

We talk about 3 great ways to get a better job.
