The last thing I want to do is pastor a church Jesus ain't at.

Our self-identification changes with our environment, but sometimes those dark thoughts permeate within us and there are those who are able to fight off those thoughts and others who don't want to fight them, or have just given in for whatever reason and whether they know the darkness they act upon is wrong, they love the darkness.

I am an eternally curious person, but I wouldn't go to such lengths to know what it is like to be someone else.

Step 1 in casting vision is to make sure your people love Jesus more than they love the vision you are casting.

Cast first to your church those visions you absolutely know are the Lord's.

There might be lots of boring thoughts coming from someone else, but the way they come across, they would be mind blowing because they would come in such a way so foreign to me. I think I would mostly be surprised, but alarmed also. There will be something within each of us, despite our differences, in thought processes to connect us.

Let's be pastors who cast vision that are worth people giving their life for.
