The Power of Vision

Scriptural Anchor: Proverbs 29:18 - "Where there is no vision, the people perish."

Living Intentionally

4:20- Pastor Lisa shared that she chose to live intentionally when her youngest daughter was three

and preparing for preschool. After prayer, God revealed her next season was to work with women.

Though initially reluctant, this led to the birth of Arise Women, now in its 14th year. She emphasized

accountability, like publicly committing to a marathon, which pushed her to follow through.

9:33- Naomi discussed how her intentionality began at age 22 when she surrendered her life to God

and started serving in leadership roles. Conferences and events became opportunities for personal

growth and purpose-driven living.

Habits for Visionary Living

11:08- Naomi reflected on trusting God's plans over her own and how she navigates challenges

through faith. Pastor Lisa added that when plans don't go as expected, perseverance and trust in

God's timing are key.

13:50- Naomi shared her journey through infertility and fostering her nephew, which taught her to

love deeply beyond biological connections.

18:00- Pastor Lisa emphasized starting each day intentionally with worship and prayer, avoiding

distractions like reaching for your phone. She reminded listeners that God can fill the voids in their

lives.

Vision in Action

21:08- Pastor Lisa asked listeners: "What will you change or do differently for your vision to come to

fruition?" She shared her own experience of becoming an empty nester and using this season to

deepen her friendships intentionally.

23:52- Naomi highlighted the importance of community, both professionally and personally. She and

her husband prioritize fellowship, as community provides encouragement, accountability, and

spiritual alignment. Pastor Lisa acknowledged the loneliness of leadership and encouraged listeners

to create and nurture their own communities proactively.

Advice on Achieving Vision

29:45- Naomi advised breaking visions into smaller, manageable goals to avoid overwhelm. Be kind

to yourself and continue laying plans before God, remembering that fear is not from Him.

30:30- Pastor Lisa quoted Helen Keller: "The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but

no vision." She reminded listeners that having vision isn't selfish but necessary for an abundant life.

35:42- Pastor Lisa urged listeners: "Be like my friend Tisha—live intentionally and inspire others to

do the same until your last breath."
