Summary
In this episode, Brooke Thomas delves into the often-overlooked challenge of protecting the vision that God has entrusted to us, especially as women leaders and entrepreneurs. She unpacks how vision doesn't typically disappear in loud, dramatic moments, but quietly gets lost through discouragement, distraction, delay, and isolation. Brooke shares her personal insights, biblical encouragement, and practical strategies for guarding your vision, staying anchored in faith, and resisting the temptation to give up during slow or unseen seasons. With a focus on community, active trust, and devoted prayer, Brooke equips listeners to stay awake to their calling and trust that God is not done until it's good. This episode will inspire you to reclaim clarity, nurture your momentum, and pursue your divine purpose with confidence and hope.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Live Out Loud Show. I'm your host, Brooke Thomas, and today I cannot wait to talk to you about vision. But in a way that most leaders don't. So lean in, you're going to want to take notes, maybe share this with somebody because I love talking about activating |
| 0:22.7 | vision. Obviously, my book is called Activate Your Impact. And I have a chapter about activating |
| 0:28.8 | vision. I think it's so important for us to stay super awake to what God has for us. And I believe |
| 0:37.0 | that we should pray every single day that eyes are open and ears are open |
| 0:41.0 | to see and hear what the Lord has for us. |
| 0:44.4 | And scripture tells us that people perish for lack of vision. |
| 0:48.3 | But I don't believe that that's the issue we're facing right now, especially as women |
| 0:53.0 | leaders and business owners. |
| 0:54.6 | We don't lack vision. We start with the ideas, clarity and intention, right? I mean, are you feeling |
| 1:00.9 | me? We ask God to reveal the vision to us, and he does. Then we typically run with it. So a lack of |
| 1:09.1 | vision is not what I see the issue in women right now, especially |
| 1:13.4 | the ones that I'm talking to all the time. The real issue challenge problem is that the vision |
| 1:20.1 | quietly gets lost when it is not protected. Okay. Let's talk about protecting the vision. I surround myself with people that have |
| 1:32.3 | constant vision, that have big vision, big dreams that are so incredible. But we've got to talk about |
| 1:40.2 | how we protect the vision. And so today I want to talk about where that happens and why |
| 1:48.3 | protecting your vision matters more than creating one. Anything that builds the kingdom and |
| 1:54.4 | creates lasting impact will always face resistance. I said this in one of my previous |
| 1:59.5 | podcasts where, you know, anytime I post on my |
| 2:02.9 | Instagram about this one saying that you will get attacked at your highest calling, it blows up. |
| 2:08.1 | Like I had like over 4,000 shares the other day on, it's probably even bigger now on a post about |
| 2:13.5 | how we get attacked at our highest calling. Anytime I talk about betrayal, that, and certain things |
| 2:23.4 | around surrender, I just get so many women leaning and sharing it and wanting to talk about it. |
