Just to be clear
I think that one of the biggest obstacles that can prevent a vision from becoming a reality is ambiguity. If you are vague and unclear as a leader it will frustrate your forward progress and those around you in the process. It will also frustrate you. If you continually find yourself let down by your team because they haven’t executed what you envisioned, perhaps the fault lies with you. For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?(1 Corinthians 14:8) You might be surprised to know that what’s missing in your organization and holding you back might not be resources, people, or talent but clarity.
Trust me, your team wants to know where they stand, how they are doing, what protocols are rigid, and what the primary objective is. People crave clarity. They are looking for someone to rise up with a clarion call that they can follow into battle. So find your voice and be crystal clear.
An adage I think about often is, “don’t communicate so you’ll be understood, communicate so that it’s impossible to be misunderstood.”

Thank you, Levi for “equipping the saints” and for the tools you give us to do the job. My daughter is in Ghana
(don’t ask me why?!)and was having problems with her roommate. Out of exasperation and desperation one night she turned on one of your podcasts, which just happened to be on “difficult relationships”! Her roommate actually sat down to listen to it with her and took notes! Through such “God-incidences” and prayer, things are better between them. This to me is huge. We haven’t cured cancer here or parted the waters but changed hearts, different perspective and healed relationships are to me what God’s work is all about.
I also received an e-mail from a friend that was about 9 feet long. It’s contents made it abundantly clear that he was STUCK; in his guilt, frustration, hurt and anger. I was able to offer him an invitation to get to know Jesus and learn what it means to “be free”. I could offer him teachings on Freshlife Radio, podcasts on the internet and an invitation to join us at church. Brunch would be on us. Our prayer list gets longer and longer. Every journey is a missionary journey and our purpose and vision get clearer and cleared thanks in part to the clarity of your own vision and your amazing ability to share that vision with others. God bless you and keep you! Easter, here we come! KB
