You’ve been given something valuable.
A vision. A burden. An idea that just won’t go away.
Now what?
In Matthew 25, Jesus tells a parable that speaks directly to this moment. In it, a master entrusts three servants with talents. Two invest what they’ve been given and see it multiply. One buries his in the ground, afraid, cautious, and immobilized.
The result? The two faithful ones are commended and given more. The one who buried his gift is rebuked.
“You wicked, lazy servant! … You should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest” (Matthew 25:26-27).
It’s a sobering reminder: God doesn’t give us ideas just to admire. He gives us opportunities to steward.
Don’t Let Fear Lead
The servant in the parable wasn’t evil. He was scared.
-
Scared of failure.
-
Scared of doing it wrong.
-
Scared of what the master might say.
Fear caused him to freeze. And in the process, he missed the joy of partnering with the master’s mission.
Missional entrepreneurs today face the same temptation: to delay, to overthink, to stay safe.
But the Kingdom doesn’t advance through comfort. It advances through obedience.
You’ve Been Entrusted
If you’ve made it this far through this blog series, there’s a good chance God has entrusted you with something:
-
A redemptive idea
-
A calling that won’t let go
-
A burden for your neighborhood, generation, or community
And like the servants in Matthew 25, you have a choice:
-
Will you bury it?
-
Or will you build with it?
This is your invitation to step out in faith.
Faith Is the Fuel
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to see the entire staircase.
You just need to take the next step.
Faith is not reckless. Faith is responsive. It says:
-
“God, I believe You gave me this idea.”
-
“I trust You to guide me as I build.”
-
“I will move forward, even if it’s imperfect.”
Hebrews 11 is full of stories of people who took action without certainty:
-
Noah built a boat before the rain.
-
Abraham left home without a map.
-
Moses led a people with nothing but a staff.
You’re in good company.
The Church Needs You
We are in a cultural moment where the Church must reimagine how it engages the world.
-
We need entrepreneurs who see opportunity where others see problems.
-
We need innovators who will try, test, and refine new models of mission.
-
We need everyday believers who stop burying their gifts and start multiplying their impact.
You don’t need a pulpit to preach. Your missional venture might be the sermon someone’s waiting to experience.
