Better Use of Time
It'll take a few conversations, a couple rounds of review, and space for dreaming.
Your Vision
Our Mission
Centurion Response is a visioncasting studio.
We craft life-giving platforms for faithful business leaders.
You Are The Centurion
Like the centurion who went to Jesus to help his servant, you’re called to seek the well-being of the people you lead at work, at home, and in your community.
We meet you where your personal identity and holy invitation align, and we help you respond to your calling more effectively.
Our Sweet Spot
If your work is a response to God, there's probably something for us to discuss, but we make the best sense for people whose vision has built a business, opened doors to a platform, and is shaping a legacy for their family.
Here's how we see being "ready for substance" and the maturation process in people we can help the most.
We Serve Centurions
We help you clarify a vision rooted in your identity in Christ – and then carry it everywhere.
Core Identity Package
A brief engagement where we help you define and express your identity, calling, and vision simply. Few people answer this well before they launch into life. An invaluable but highly affordable first place to engage with us to see if we work for you.
Brand Strategy
We help you convey and steward your vision across all departments, making every downstream dollar more effective. Your existing agencies and coaches do not do this, and we do not displace them. Our job is to be your voice, everywhere.
CEO Platform
Your personal passion should create a halo effect for the brand, but the platform should not be something the marketing department manages. We help create books, podcasts, websites, and events that share your vision with the world.
Family Vision
We work with prominent families, across households, to create private memoirs, experiences, proverb collections, holistic annual reports, and anything that shares your heart as you guide your family toward His.
Centurions Invest in Hope
Visioncasting isn't a mandate. It's an invitation. An appreciation of a better option. At Centurion Response, we'll make your vision clear and beautiful, help you offer it with an open hand, and help you hold a hopeful space as people encounter what you've encountered.
You do not have to have anything figured out before you schedule a call. You just have to have a sense that there is more value to achieve within your business, there is an insight God's shown you that would benefit others, or that you want to see your family be more durable and more "for a purpose" than it is today.
If nothing stirs in you on those points today, no problem. If you feel a hunch, our calling is to help you pay attention to it and figure out how to respond. We'd love to chat and see what happens.
Why You Should Hire Us to Help
Skill and Process
All you have to know is what you want to end up with. Leave the rest of it to us.
Take Your Story Further
Done well, your story becomes a platform that grows with your passion.
Go Deeper, Get More
You will be invited, safely, to see what you love better than you ever have before.
Reach and Impact
What inspires you will inspire others –
if you can share your story well.
Get it Finished
Most of our clients call with at least one draft started. Let's finish yours.
Speak Centurion
We think there are several ideas that shape the way centurions live.
A few are offered here for your consideration and to see if they sound like yours.
Centurion
A leader who engages and cares beyond the transaction they have with the people who follow, who will turn to Jesus for help, and who will hold space for Jesus to do the work in the other person's life rather than letting the leader's agenda, desire, or discomfort dictate timelines.
Centurion >>
King
As opposed to a priest. Kings build, protect, store up, and define the space in which others dwell, while priests have no inheritance, function in hand-to-mouth mercy, and identify God within a space. We need both, but today kings tend to be secular and priests tend to be extractive.
King >>
Parish
A parish is a territory, while we tend to think of businesses, churches, and ministries as competitive locations. Our orientation should be to seek the welfare of the cities and markets in which we've been placed, rather than competing as though God can only win through us.
Parish >>
Prevenience
Prevenience means preceding. Prevenient grace is how God draws people to Him before they have invited Him to be their Lord. This is the basis of the invitation God extends to centurions to cast vision and invest in the welfare of their people so they might respond to God with love.
Prevenience >>
Tab
God is the one who eventually picks up all tabs for His children. Along the way, though, He asks centurions and others to pick up a variety of tabs related to expense, generosity, risk, misunderstanding, strain, doubt, humiliation, isolation, forgiveness, hope, and exquisite joy.
Tab >>
Testimony
Testimony is not a sales shill recap of a melodramatic story nor is it a public gripe about a travel experience. Testimony is you, plus God, plus His call upon you – as Presence, and in the Bible it is accompanied with fire. It's the ultimate leading indicator, not today's lame lagging meh.
Testimony >>
Vision
Vision is what you see about the place or condition to which God is calling you. Visioncasting is how you invite people to the place where you promise to hold space for them to meet God and see what you see in Him.
Vision >>
Constraint
Proverbs 29:18 says that where there is no vision people cast off constraints and do what is right in their own eyes. It seems the inverse is true: the clearer and more compelling a vision, the more constraints come with responding to it.
Constraint >>
Blessing
One of the most critical aspects of being a centurion is to bless the people you lead. This is born from your identity in Christ, the role you play in the lives of others, and the vision you've been called to point others to.
