IF THE WEIGHT OF YOUR DREAM FEELS LIKE TOO MUCH TO BEAR, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU.

This is such a rich conversation! It’s grounded in the gospel with a focus on how we can best steward the gifts God has given us, and it releases us from the weight of doing it all on our own strength.

If your dream has felt heavy, let this episode be a reminder to you that the Lord has a greater purpose for your life than the form your dream is in today.

After listening to this episode, you’ll:

  • be inspired by the three short words Courtney uses to describe her dream,

  • learn how using specific language like this helps shape her mission and inform every “yes” and “no” she gives,

  • hear how our dreams help us identify idols and provide avenues for spiritual growth, and

  • glean some deep gospel-based reassurance about God’s desire for us to dream alongside Him as the creator and maker of our dreams in the first place.
