Vision Leaks.

That’s what Pastors Andy Stanly and Bill Hybels say. Add me to that list. Vision, indeed, leaks.

Imagine a bucket. You fill the bucket full of vision. Within hours, days or weeks, the natural propensity is for vision to be forgotten about-it “leaks” out of their lives.

It’s just the reality of vision.

I recently asked our leadership team if the three word vision statement created by the re-launch team, “Worship. Grow. Send.”, meant anything to them. “Do you know what it means? Does it inspire enthusiasm? Does it get your blood pumping? Does it get you fired up?”

“Nope”

It’s my fault.

Vision leaks.

It’s a failure on my part, as a pastor, communicator, and leader-a failure to keep the vision at the forefront of everything…communicated constantly-a failure to keep the vision understood and passionately pursued-a failure to constantly fill the vision bucket and keep it full.

No longer. That vision bucket will stay full from now on. Working on ways to communicate the vision creatively, freshly, and constantly from the first time guest who walks in to KW to long time attenders.
