AUBREY MALPHURS DESCRIBES a leader without a clear vision to that of a person trying to drive blindfolded…
If this is the case, then according to research, the majority of church leaders are driving congregations blindly. In these cases, there is a mixture of “no vision” and “unclear vision.” This is to say that there are a number of times that as church leaders we believe that a vision is clear when in reality it is not.
A vision cannot be clearly communicated to others until God’s vision has been articulated within a congregation’s leadership. Clarity yields clarity while uncertainty yields doubt and uncertainty. Kenny Norris
