The Vision
Aristotle had a word that he used in philosophy to describe the principle of when something realizes, or makes actual, what is otherwise merely potential. That word is “entelechy” (from the Greek entelecheia). Many people are walking around today longing for entelechy without realizing it. They want to live up to their full potential, and if they are believers, there is a desire to fulfill their God-given role on this earth.
To be perfectly honest, that was me. For So. Many. Years. I ministered to the body of Christ as a child, traveling around the United States singing and dancing with my family–an extension of my mother who was a recording artist. But when I left for university, our time of family music ministry seemed to come to an end. As an adult, I was struggling to find, much less fulfill, my God-given purpose.
And then I learned this truth: The only way to accomplish entelechy and move from desire to doing, from potential to actualization, is not by seeking “purpose,” but by seeking Jesus alone, and learning to walk by the Spirit of God. My goal is to help you understand how to do exactly that–how to move towards Christ until you have that one encounter with Him that changes everything. The one that happened to me. The one that takes you from a lukewarm attitude towards the things of God, to an ON-FIRE, bold, all-you-can-think-about disciple of Jesus Christ for the rest of your life. He did it for me, and He’ll do it for you, too.
So the vision is this: a fire that starts another fire, that starts another fire...
“Remember, the fire must be kept burning on the altar at all times. It must never go out.” -Leviticus 6:13
