In Joshua chapter one I see three factors that build courageous men like the father of my dreams. First, they have a mission with clear-cut objectives that stretch their faith. Second, they know how to hear the voice of God. Third, they are men under authority who obey the voice of God. The Father of my Dreams is a Man With a Clearly Defined Mission.
Great leaders have a clear cut objective and a plan for getting there.
Joshua had a compass in his head and a magnet in his heart. God gave him a precise objective to accomplish. Moses my servant is dead. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. Joshua's precise objective was to get across the Jordan and settle them in the land within those given boundaries.
