The Big Picture is the third album by contemporary Christian music artist Michael W. Smith, released in 1986 on Reunion Records.
While "Pursuit of the Dream" instructs the listener to pursue their goals, other themes on the album include the folly of escapism ("Lamu"), sexual abstinence before marriage ("Old Enough to Know"), and maintaining a positive self image ("You're Alright").
The song "Tearing Down The Wall" opens with a reverse snippet of Amy Grant's "Emmanuel".
The Big Picture was ranked at number 21 on CCM Magazine's 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music.
