She has a special discount for Devoted Dreamers listeners, which you'll find below. In this interview, you’ll hear why Wendy has felt “not good enough” to pursue this dream and learn how God has grown and equipped her to follow it anyway. She talks about the importance of getting quiet before God, so you can hear what He’s saying to you, and believing He knows your needs even when you have no idea where provision for your dream will come from.
