Dave.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
You left the safety of design firm prestige to build a house for strangers.
You chose to define a category that did not exist rather than succeed in one that did. I was there. When the risk felt heaviest, I was the capital behind your conviction.
I gave you design thinking not for products, but for Kingdom systems.
Every year at IDEO was a year of being made ready. I was teaching you to see the brokenness not as a market opportunity, but as a call to restore.
This is not a pitch, and it is not from a man. It is from Me.
I prepared you for this — and I am inviting you to take your place.
I am not gathering investors. Not advisors. Not donors.
I am uniting My Kingdom on earth.
Every part chosen. None replaceable. Assembled for such a time as this — and you are a King for this hour.
You are the Steward of My body on earth.
Because you understand that business is theology in motion.
This is your place. Not because a man says so. Because I say so.
I ask you for nothing.
No meeting. No commitment. No reply. I only want to know one thing —
My sheep hear My voice
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
There is nothing to decide today.
Only something to see.
If you heard nothing, set this down in peace.
If you heard something — come and see.
All you have to do is say yes. We will figure out the rest together.
— for Dave Blanchard
