{"product_id":"9781433688898","title":"God Dreams: 12 Vision Templates for Finding and Focusing Your Church's Future","description":"\u003ci\u003eIs your team excited about the next big dream for your church?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e You are a visionary leader and your church probably has a vision statement. Yet most churches are stuck in a trap of generic communication without a truly visionary plan. Just like a visionary restaurant needs a more specific focus than “serving food,” a visionary church needs something more than biblical generalizations like “loving God, loving people” or “making disciples and serving the world.”\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e When a team doesn’t share an understanding of God’s next big dream, leadership grows tired, overworked by an “all things to all people” ministry approach. Too often there’s no unified picture of what success looks like. People can feel uninspired and your church’s programming can seem more optional than ever.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Ministry without clarity is insanity. Are you ready for a better way?\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In this groundbreaking work, based on Will Mancini’s 15 years and over 10,000 hours of church team facilitation, \u003ci\u003eGod Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e reveals a simple and powerful planning method that will bring energy and focus to your church like never before.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e First, \u003ci\u003eGod Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e shows how to reclaim the role of long-range vision today by providing 12 vision templates, each with biblical, historical and contemporary illustrations. These vision starters will dramatically accelerate your team's ability to find complete agreement regarding your church's future.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Second, \u003ci\u003eGod Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e explains how to overcome the fruitless planning efforts that many church teams experience.  With a tool called the Horizon Storyline, leaders can connect short-term action steps with the long-range dream, while leveraging the power of storytelling to make the plan “stick.”  This tool will galvanize a diverse team of ministry leaders and volunteers with unprecedented enthusiasm.   \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Imagine leading with a refreshed sense of freedom and confidence, with a totally new way to inspire your church. Imagine the ability to harness the energy and resources of your people towards a specific dream of gospel impact, in your church and in your lifetime.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGod Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e is your passport to leading into a better future.","brand":"B\u0026H Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47141853135088,"sku":"9781433688898","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433688898_p0.jpg?v=1763752403","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433688898","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
