299 || How an Unexpected Layoff Brought a Dream to Life || Shadia Hrichi

What have you been waiting on God to do with your dream?

Let’s be honest, waiting is hard. But often we are so busy looking ahead wondering when God will answer a prayer or change a difficult circumstance that we risk missing out on what He’s already doing right in front of us, right now.

IF YOU’ve wondered whether gOD is still working (even when you can’t see it), THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!

In this episode, I am honored to introduce you to Shadia Hrichi, a passionate Bible teacher, award-winning author, and speaker. She’s joining us to share the surprising twist in her career as a result of corporate layoffs and how one question from a godly mentor opened her eyes to a seminary degree and the possibility of working in full-time ministry.  

You’ll learn:

✨ How scheduled, intentional downtime can bring you into a closer walk with the Lord,

❤️ About trusting God even when progress seems slow, and

👂 The vital role of wise mentors to help uncovering your God-given dreams.

I pray this conversation is a reminder that God is always working. He never sleeps on our dreams; He is never blind to our concerns. He is always present, always loving, and completely aware of every aspect of our lives.

I’m eager for you to hear Shadia’s story about the journey to her God-shaped dream. This soul-nourishing conversation promises to reignite your passion for God’s plan in your life.
