Teaching Points
- 1
Vision is seeing what God wants to accomplish. Strategy is the plan to get there. Vision without strategy is dreaming. Strategy without vision is busywork.
- 2
Vision must be clear, compelling, and communicable. If you can't write it on a napkin, it's too complicated.
- 3
Strategy follows faith, not the other way around. Start with what God said, not what you can afford.
- 4
The best strategies are simple, reproducible, and contextual. Copy-paste rarely works in ministry.
- 5
Cast vision constantly. People move toward what they see and believe. If they don't see it, they won't move.
