The Power of Small Beginnings

Why starting small is biblical (building on loaves and fishes principle)

Key Scripture: Zechariah 4:10 - "Do not despise these small beginnings"

What You'll Learn:

  1. Why God specializes in small beginnings that lead to extraordinary outcomes
  2. How your brain responds better to small, manageable goals than overwhelming ones
  3. The "progress principle" - how small wins create momentum and transformation
  4. The loaves and fishes principle: God multiplies what you offer, even when it feels small
  5. How to break your vision into micro-steps and build sustainable momentum

Key Takeaways:

  1. God rejoices when you start - not when it's finished or impressive
  2. Small beginnings compound into massive results when you're faithful over time
  3. Transformation happens in a thousand small moments strung together by faithfulness
  4. The pattern: Perceive → Vision → Action → Release → Trust the small beginnings

Challenge: Reflect on your January Journey progress. What small step can you take today toward the vision God gave you?

Kim Gordon

Through my experience as a nurse, educator, sales director, business mentor and certified leadership coach, I've developed a deep desire to love people enough to help them reach their God-given potential. My superpower is in helping you identify how to get "unstuck" by clarifying what's NEXT and what's POSSIBLE, and by being your friend as you take action to get there. I love being a Jesus lover, wife, momma, spirtual momma, and dog mom. Fueled by coffee, grits, and chocolate.
