  • Vision and Purpose | EP 6
    Oct 8 2024

    Summary

    Having a clear vision and sense of purpose is essential for effective leadership. It acts as a compass, guiding our decisions and actions, and ensuring that we align our lives with God's plan. Vision is the mental picture of what we want to achieve or become in the future, while purpose is the why behind what we do. Combining vision and purpose creates a powerful framework for leadership. We can learn from the example of Joseph in Genesis 37-50, who faced betrayal and adversity but remained focused on God's purpose for his life. To define and pursue a personal vision, we need to seek God's guidance, reflect on our passions and values, and envision our future. Writing down our vision statement and setting specific goals helps us pursue our vision with intentionality. Accountability and regular review and adjustment are important to stay on track. Finally, we must pray and seek alignment with God's will as we pursue our vision.
