This is something I picked up on when I was talking to Josh Perkinson, Maeghan Keaton (my wonderfully amazing girlfriend), and Lauren Lisle. So thank you peeps! I was washing my hands when I thought about all this stuff that I shared with them.
Some ways an apathetic heart can be produced is not trusting in God or the vision that leaks out of the minds of the body. So vision needs to be constantly brought up. Where are we going? Where does God want us to go? What is His vision for us?
I have been in a lot of questioning when it comes to what God wants for my campus. Then I just asked him. If we look at it scripturally, He wants his people, so he not only wants the campus he wants the city, the nations, and the world. He wants people to KNOW Him. So if that is his heart, why not go love what he loves. So our vision is going after the city and for everyone to hear the gospel. Walking towards God's heart is being obedient to God. If we don't see the whole city know Him in our time (4-6 years in college) we are still successful because we are walking towards what He cares about and we are walking towards the vision he gave us. Our measure of success is measured in our obedience to the Lord. If we become like the shephards of the east and go after this vision ourselves, than we are successful. Let's Go! Go Love! Be Love! Live like Jesus!
P.S. God delights in you, so it's not about doing, just have faith that he already sees you as a great success and a great reward. He does all things in His power to have you, you are his reward. He loves his people.
