Rolf Jenson in his book, The Dream Society, chronicles a rapid movement from the Information Age to the Dream Society, where effective leaders will become—not just knowledge workers—but story-finders and storytellers. He demonstrates, through case studies, how it’s not the best product or service or cause that captures the imagination and catapults an organization forward, but the best story.
As Dallas Willard puts it, “we live in a God-bathed world,” and God’s story can be found all around us in
the hearts of people, where stories begin as dreams. The heart is the conversation room of the Holy Spirit, the place where God plants dreams and visions, and calls us to a purposeful destiny.To be truly effective in reaching unchurched people it’s important to understand that the Holy Spirit has been speaking, wooing, calling, and inspiring people from their earliest childhood. To tap into someone’s heart, and help them recognize and understand God’s voice, is to midwife true identity and purpose. This can and should be the natural work of Christ-followers who in concert with the Spirit are well-equipped to ‘coax out’ God-given dreams, encouraging the stories, that move The Story on.
