Apostolic Vision
Andy Stanley

• Vision is a mental picture of what could be, fueled by a passion for what should be.
• A vision begins as a burden
• Our vision has to be clear to people so they know how to follow us.
• A vision needs to be portable.
• Leaders often know so much about their vision that they expect everyone else to know just as much.
• Barak Obama is winning because he's the only candidate who's vision we know. "Change." We may not even know what that means, but at least we know something.
• Cast your vision convincingly. Define the problem your vision addresses, state the solution, and explain why and why now.
• What would go undone if we ceased to exist?
• Repeat the vision regularly.
• Celebrate systematically.
• Embrace it personally.
