Visioneering in Action: Real Stories of Ordinary People Who Changed the World

It’s easy to believe that vision is the domain of the famous or the gifted. But Andy Stanley’s Visioneering shows that some of the most impactful stories begin in the most ordinary places. This blog shares inspiring case studies of people who took a spark of vision and changed their world.



Meet the teacher who started a literacy program in her small town, the parent who created a family mission statement that shaped generations, the entrepreneur who built a business around a cause he cared about. Each faced doubts, delays, and criticism, but their vision kept them moving.

What do these stories have in common? A clear vision, a willingness to wait and prepare, resilience in the face of setbacks, and the courage to invite others into the journey. These are not superhumans—they’re people just like you.

By the end of this blog, you’ll be inspired to see your own life as a story in progress. The world doesn’t need another celebrity—it needs visionaries willing to start where they are.
