Good morning, Stephen Schlabach here with today’s Vision Forward!
Is your perspective limited to whether the cup is half full or half empty? Stephen invites us to consider a third, more powerful viewpoint: Is your life overflowing? Drawing from Psalm 23:5 and other Scriptures, today’s episode challenges us to move beyond survival and step into the divine promise of abundance.
The Bible doesn’t describe a life of lack—it describes rivers of living water, joy unspeakable, fullness of the Spirit, and a cup that runs over. This isn’t just poetic language—it’s God’s design for His children. You are meant to live a life so full that it spills over and blesses everyone around you.
Let this message expand your expectations. You’re not called to just make it through—you’re called to overflow.
Scripture Focus: Psalm 23:5
Core Message: God has designed you for a life of overflow—believe and live it. And remember, “Be The Light.”

Good morning, Stephen Schlabach here with today’s Vision Forward!
In today’s message, Stephen brings our attention back to the essential, often-overlooked aspects of life, our fundamentals. These are the daily habits, mindsets, and disciplines that support the structure of everything else we do. When life gets overwhelming, it’s easy to neglect them, but it’s those very things that keep us grounded.
Psalm 102:4 paints a picture of someone so distressed that they forget to eat. It’s a striking metaphor for how stress and distraction can cause us to abandon the very things that nourish us spiritually and emotionally.
Whether it’s prayer, rest, Scripture, or quality relationships, this episode is a reminder to revisit and reinforce the foundational truths that hold your life together. Rebuild from the ground up and find strength in the basics.
Scripture Focus: Psalm 102:4
Core Message: Don't neglect the basics, your life is built on the fundamentals. And remember, “Be The Light.”

Today’s word challenges us to shift from an outside-in mindset to a life-giving inside-out perspective. As believers, we are not empty, lacking people trying to survive life, we are containers of God’s fullness, filled with everything needed to bless the world around us.
Stephen uses Philemon 1:6 to remind us that the effectiveness of our faith grows as we acknowledge every good thing within us in Christ. We carry joy, peace, purpose, power, and provision. From our full supply flows encouragement, wisdom, and hope to others.
This episode will ignite your confidence and renew your sense of spiritual abundance. You're not running on empty—you’re overflowing with grace and power because God dwells within you.
Scripture Focus: Philemon 1:6
Core Message: You’re a container of every good thing in Christ—live from fullness. And remember, “Be The Light.”
