Vision for ordinary places--what does that mean?

As we begin a New Year, leaders often focus on vision--vision for the church, vision for a ministry, vision for launching something new. But do you realize that vision isn't necessarily about big ideas and lots of people? We each need vision for the ordinary places where we encounter people whom we influence--our children, families, friends, co-workers, neighbors and broader community. In this podcast I talk about that kind of vision that everyone needs to discover.

You can access the video if you prefer.

If you do lead in big places--churches, ministries, non-profits, etc., don't miss BOW's insightful series on video, Casting Vision with Debbie Stuart.

We have a number of other resources on the topic of vision, just link to the list.
