What happens when your dream is sidelined by the realities of life in a broken world? Kimberly Phinney had a vision for her future as a writer with big hopes, dreams, and ideas she wanted to share with the world. Even as a child she had a sense that this would be her path. When her health took a turn for the worse, it seemed all of her dreams might be lost. In this episode, you’ll learn Kimberly’s 3-step process for staying true to the dreams God has given you (her students rave about this year after year!), what God has taught her in her brokenness (and the breakthrough that awaits in such seasons), and about letting go of anything that’s going to detract from God’s vision for you.

God has given you a purpose that is uniquely yours, but the temptation to control the results can disrupt any meaningful progress because the dream belongs to God first and the outcomes rest on Him alone. If you are anxious, stressed out, or worried about the future, this episode is filled with the truth of Scripture and Carla’s calming presence to remind you of the value and importance of surrendering our God-shaped dreams to Him daily.
123 || How to be Faithful in the Dream You Didn't Want || Alia Joy
God’s power is made perfect in weakness. We know the Bible verse, but most of us would rather run from weakness than embrace it. Alia Joy might have, at one time, said the same. She never expected to write a book about weakness, nor did she expect to wrestle with mental illness, but this journey has put her on a path to be a voice for the hurting, the broken, and the lonely. Her new book Glorious Weakness is meeting people in their place of need and giving them hope that they are not alone.
