In a recent video, Bill Motley from ICCF (International Coalition of Christian Fellowships) shared profound insights into this very query. He reminds us that often, as leaders, we’re consumed by the desire for a grand master plan, a detailed roadmap stretching years into the future. Yet, Bill offers a refreshing perspective: instead of fixating on the distant horizon, embrace the simplicity of the next step.

Key Points to Remember:

• One Step at a Time: Break down overwhelming challenges by focusing on one step at a time, just like climbing a hill.
• Embrace Adaptability: Vision and plans may evolve, requiring us to be flexible and opened to change.
• Continuous Growth: Leadership is a journey of continual growth, requiring regular reassessment and adaptation.
• Seek Support: Don’t hesitate to seek guidance and support from organizations like ICCF to aid your leadership journey.

Apostle Bill’s analogy of climbing a hill encapsulates this beautifully. Standing at the base, gazing up at the daunting incline, our minds may rebel against the challenge. It seems overwhelming, insurmountable even. But therein lies the wisdom: one step at a time, the journey unfolds. Each step diminishes the mountain until it becomes nothing more than a gentle slope.

So, what does this mean for you, dear leader? It means embracing the power of the next step. Whether you’re leading a congregation or a team in the corporate world, the principle remains the same. Don’t succumb to the paralysis of over-analysis. Instead, focus on discerning your next move, your next strategic shift, your next area of growth.

Your Next Steps:

• Identify areas for growth or improvement in your leadership role.
• Determine specific actions to take to address these areas.
• Implement changes gradually, one step at a time, to avoid overwhelm.
• Regularly reassess and adjust your course as needed.

Perhaps your next step involves revitalizing your ministry with small groups or reimagining your outreach efforts. Maybe it’s time to reassess your leadership team, making strategic changes to ensure alignment with your vision. The specifics may vary, but the essence remains constant: progress through deliberate, focused steps.

Bill’s message resonates deeply because it acknowledges the fluidity of vision and the necessity of adaptation. What once required a 20-year plan now demands agility, responsiveness to the accelerating pace of change. Yet, amidst this flux, one truth remains immutable: there is always a next step.

But taking that step demands courage. It requires faith, the willingness to embrace discomfort, and the resolve to challenge the status quo. It may involve tough decisions, moving some pieces on the chessboard of leadership to unlock new possibilities.

Yet, therein lies the beauty of leadership—the continual pursuit of growth, the relentless quest for the next step. And in this journey, ICCF stands ready to support you. Bill’s invitation echoes loudly: reach out, seek guidance, and let us be the catalysts for your transformation.

Final Thoughts:

• Embrace discomfort and uncertainty as opportunities for growth.
• Don’t be afraid to make strategic changes in pursuit of your goals.
• Seek support and guidance from mentors and organizations like ICCF to aid your journey.

In conclusion, dear leader, remember this: victory belongs to those who dare to take the next step. So, as you stand at the threshold of possibility, ask yourself, “What’s my next step?” Embrace it, pursue it with unwavering determination, and watch as it leads you closer to your destiny.
