You can feel it when you’re around a man who knows what he’s about. He doesn’t hedge. Doesn’t oversell. Doesn’t need your validation to stand where he’s standing.
His clarity does something to the room.
I’ve been on both sides. The guy who talks in circles, trying to sound wise while buying time to figure out what I actually believe. Saying yes when I mean maybe because I’m not sure where my boundaries are.
Fog makes you heavy. You hesitate. You shrink back. People feel it. They stop leaning in.
Clarity isn’t just knowing your goals. It’s knowing your convictions. What you’re not called to.
When you get clear, things align. Your words carry weight because you’re not hedging. Your time tightens because you know what doesn’t belong. You’re not performing — you’re just present.
Matthew: “Let your yes be yes and your no be no.” Not maybe. Not I’ll see how people respond first.
Unclear men are exhausted. They say yes when they mean maybe. They wear different masks depending on the room. They work hard but can’t tell you why it matters.
Pretending to know takes more energy than actually knowing.
Jesus said if your eye is single, your whole body will be full of light. One focus. Not ten versions of yourself trying to please ten different audiences.
Proverbs says people perish for lack of vision. Not effort. Vision.
So what are you clear on?
Who are you becoming when no one’s watching? What truths won’t you sell? What’s God saying to you right now — not last year, but in this season?
Clarity doesn’t mean you have it all figured out. It means you know what you’re about. You’ve done the deeper thinking, so when the moment comes, you can just move.
People follow men who are rooted.
