The Hope That Works and Leading in the “Not Yet” | Revelation 21:4
About This Video
“He will wipe every tear… no more death, mourning, crying, or pain” (Rev. 21:4). This isn’t poetic fluff—it’s a concrete promise that reshapes how we live and lead between brokenness and wholeness. In this teaching, we unpack what it means to work in the “so for now”: modeling restoration at work and at home, bringing heaven’s priorities into Monday decisions, and resisting the old order’s grind with a New Earth mindset—life, healing, honesty, and non-toxic excellence. When you know how the story ends, you lead differently now. Takeaways Eternity clarifies priorities: lead for people, not just profit. Replace old-order habits (hustle, harm, hurry) with restorative rhythms. Create “no more” cultures: reduce harm, increase honesty, nurture life. Hope is operational: align meetings, metrics, and methods with mercy. Every faithful act is a preview of the New Earth. Subscribe for weekly teachings on the spiritual side of business & life—then choose one “no more” you’ll practice this week (e.g., no more shaming feedback; yes to healing conversations). Where does your world need a glimpse of the New Earth today?
