What You See Is What You Get!

Pastor Frank Montgomery asks what you see when you look at your life, marriage, career, and even your underwear drawer.

The episode begins with Pastor Frank Montgomery asking listeners to reflect on what they see in various areas of their life, from marriage to career, introducing the theme 'what you see is what you get.' He cites Proverbs 29:18 to argue that without vision, people are unrestrained or perish, likening it to messy areas like a car's backseat. Montgomery references Ephesians 2:10, describing believers as God's workmanship created for good works, and contrasts passive waiting with the active role of the kingdom of God within. He warns against treating God like a genie and emphasizes that vision must come from within. The host then presents four bases for one's view: how you think, citing Proverbs 23:7 on heart beliefs; how you see, from Matthew 6:22 on the eye as a lamp; how you speak, using Proverbs 18:21 on the power of the tongue; and how you live, from Ephesians 5:15 on walking wisely. He introduces eight steps to develop vision, starting with praying regularly for the Holy Spirit's guidance, as in Acts 2:17. Step two is meditating on God's word, referencing Psalm 1:1-3. Step three involves finding a mentor or apprentice, illustrated by Matthew 4:18-22 where Jesus calls disciples. Step four is discussing vision with people of faith for counsel, from Proverbs 11:14. Step five is confessing the vision aloud, based on Romans 10:9. Step six is writing it down simply, from Habakkuk 2:2. Step seven is practicing seeing it in the mind, from Joshua 1. Step eight is taking action, from James 1. Montgomery shares his personal vision statement, focusing on faithfulness and impact, and ends with a prayer for salvation and reconnection with Jesus.
