CFC: Commitment, Focus, and Consistency

by Dave Miller

In the CoVo life, where marketplace and ministry intersect, momentum doesn’t come from inspiration alone. It comes from formation. It’s not just about having vision; it’s about living with Commitment, Focus, and Consistency.

CFC isn’t another productivity slogan. It’s the simple rhythm that shapes the lifestyle of a practitioner who is both called and commissioned, someone who lives sent in the workplace and the world.

Commitment: Your Yes List

Every great move of God begins with a clear “yes.”

Commitment defines the boundaries of your obedience. It’s what you’ve said yes to, the convictions that shape your calendar, the priorities that set your pace, and the values that determine your “no.”

Commitment is not just about passion; it’s about alignment.

It’s the declaration that says, “This is what I’m giving my life to.”

Your yes list isn’t long. It’s focused. It carries weight. When you know your yes list, you stop chasing opportunities and start walking in assignment.

“Let your yes be yes, and your no be no.” — Matthew 5:37

For the CoVo practitioner, commitment means clarity, knowing what you’ve been entrusted with by the Father and staying faithful to it. It’s where conviction meets direction.

Focus: Your Now List

If commitment answers why you live, focus answers what you’re doing right now.

Focus brings your yes list into the present moment. It’s not about what’s possible; it’s about what’s priority.

The CoVo world is full of opportunity. Every day presents another good thing you could do. But focus demands you discern what you must do.

Your now list is the handful of things that move your mission forward today. It’s what fits within your current capacity, energy, and season. Focus protects your attention so your commitments can bear fruit.

You can also think of it as your “no list.” It distinguishes what you must do from what you must not do. Focus chooses.

Consistency: The Habits That Drive Your Yes List

Commitment gives you purpose. Focus gives you direction. But consistency gives you movement.

Consistency is the bridge between conviction and completion. It’s the discipline of showing up, even when the results aren’t immediate.

Your habits are the engine that drives your yes list. They take what you’ve committed to and make it sustainable. When your small rhythms reflect your big “yes,” transformation happens over time.

For the CoVo practitioner, consistency means you build systems of faithfulness. You steward your time, relationships, and energy in ways that echo eternity. You plant seeds daily, trusting God for the growth.

The Rhythm of a CoVo Practitioner

CFC forms a rhythm that multiplies faithfulness:

Commitment gives you your yes list — what matters most.

Focus gives you your now list — what you’re doing today.

Consistency builds the habits — that sustain both.

When these three align, your life moves with purpose. You no longer drift between passion and exhaustion. You live with holy rhythm, grounded in conviction and guided by grace.

That’s the way of the CoVo practitioner: simple, faithful, and fruitful.
