Hey, Steve. My reaction is to feel pressure to "figure it out," and "put a plan into action." "Get working." Stressful. Maybe it would help if you explained how this differs from traditional 5-year-plan, goal-setting traditions? I guess the good news is, I do know where I want to be in 10 years, so I guess I'm 70% there if what you say is correct. But my "goal" has to do with relationship and community, not work or ministry. There is a lot of mystery in my "steps" right now, including an eventual move. I feel that God is only shining the flashlight on the square of sidewalk right in front of my feet. He's not telling me all the steps or making it at all clear how he's going to get me there.
Found it to be an interesting question as I don't think I will be around in 10 years. Heart getting worse. I like to live day-ro-day and ask God -- how can I honor you this day with my words and work. To honor you in all I do and say.
I probably should have told you that the son I refer to is hard core Army. That might help you understand his podcast selection!😎

I get where you’re coming from. It’s sobering. I love how you put your thoughts into words… “how can I honor you today… “
Yes, thank you for your response. I just at this point in my life camp by the River of No Agendas and listen for how God might lead "this day"
I think being in the river of no agenda is the absolute best place to be!
Steve, this inspires me too. I'll be doing this exercise. Thank you
