The Power of Vision: Turning Ideas into Reality

Writer's picture: Gentry HarperGentry Harper

A Journey of Faith and Friendship


Kim and I sat side by side in a regeneration class at C-Life Church in Sunnyvale, Texas, for nearly a year. Through this transformative journey, we built a strong bond, deepened our faith, and began to realize we shared mutual aspirations and like-minded goals. After many conversations and heartfelt prayers, we decided it was time to align our future with the plan we believed God had for us. When you give it all to Him, things just start to fall into place.





Dangerous Prayers and Heart Transformation


Around this time, I had been reading Dangerous Prayers by Craig Groeschel. In this book, Groeschel challenges readers to pray, "Search me, break me, send me." I had never thought of prayers as dangerous before, but as I dove deeper, I realized the power of these prayers. They invite God to refine you, redirect you, and transform your heart. As Jeremiah 17:9 says, "The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?"Through our regeneration journey, I came to understand that my heart needed transformation. Kim and I realized that our ways were not God’s ways. We needed His guidance—not just for forgiveness but for complete renewal.


A Divine Appointment


Once we fully embraced the journey God had laid before us, everything changed. People started appearing in our lives whom we didn’t even know we needed. One day, Kim decided to start a new workout program and had to reactivate her Facebook account to access the videos. While scrolling, an ad caught her eye for a conference in Dallas called She is Wealthy with Megan Unsworth. The material perfectly aligned with the vision Kim and I had been discussing for our future business. The three-day event was only $99, so we registered, not realizing how transformative it would be.





Doors Begin to Open


From the moment we walked into the conference, doors began opening. We heard powerful stories from visionaries like Jamie Kern Lima, Monica Zaragoza, Lakeisha Michelle, and Demi Tebow. The spirit in the room was undeniable, and it became clear that God had led us there to equip us with the power and community we needed to turn our vision into reality. Inspired by what we learned, we joined the mastermind group and began one-on-one coaching with Megan and her team. Despite the cost of business coaching, we saw it as an investment in our future, not an expense.




Signs from God


God confirmed our decision with multiple signs. Upon arrival, I unexpectedly received a refund for my conference registration, even though I had already checked in. For three days, I somehow parked for free at the Hilton, while others were paying. During the conference, I received a surprise call about a payout from oil and gas royalties I didn’t even know I was owed. On the final day, Kim and I had to move seats, and the seat I chose ended up being part of a giveaway—it had an Apple Watch under it! These signs reminded us that when you trust God, He provides in unexpected ways.

Building 8:28 Management


Within a week, we had formed our LLC. Within four months, we fully launched 8:28 Management with a mission to help entrepreneurs align their businesses with biblical principles. Since then, we’ve grown our social media following, expanded our service offerings, onboarded numerous clients, and witnessed the incredible impact of aligning our vision with God’s purpose.


Keeping the Power of Vision at the Core


At the heart of our business is our vision board. We refer to it daily to ensure our goals remain aligned with our North Star—God’s plan. We encourage you to do the same. Bring God into your business. Pray over your vision and let it inspire others. A vision rooted in faith can create a ripple effect of impact, like the wave at a baseball game.
