One of the thoughts that often haunts me when I step up to teach is the sobering reality that I may have just spent an hour of someone’s life that they will never get back.
In a world where time has become the ultimate currency, every minute matters.
To speak without clarity, inspiration, or purpose is to squander something sacred.
In today’s culture of constant noise, people don’t need more words — they need meaningful moments that stir their hearts and shape their direction.
Andy Stanley captured this power beautifully in his book, “Visioneering,” when he said, “Your vision will inspire others to see beyond their own circumstances.”
Those of us who have the privilege to speak into people’s lives carry a profound responsibility. We are not merely transferring information; we are stewarding influence.
With every lesson, story, and insight, we have the unique opportunity to ignite hope, call out potential, and inspire people to rise above the ordinary.
When vision is clear and truth is compelling, words can become catalysts that change trajectories, shape futures, and make a lasting impact on the world.
2 Timothy 2:15 captures this thought and reminds us to handle God’s truth with care:
“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
