250 || [Solo] Four Ways You Will Grow When You Build Your Dream in Community || Merritt Onsa

Have you resisted inviting others into the hardest parts of your dream?

We all want to be the one who helps when our friends are in need, but which of us actually wants to be the needy one? Few of us easily admit weakness; it’s our fallen nature as humans. But it’s also the lie that we see all around us: That everyone else has their stuff together. Instagram highlights rarely touch the hard stuff, not in a real, meaningful, or vulnerable way. So you end up feeling like you’re the only one who’s struggling to keep it all together.

IF YOU’VE WONDERED HOW TO FIND COMMUNITY WITH OTHER DREAMERS, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!

It’s not true that you’re the only one struggling right now. In fact, we are each fighting our own battles, and the enemy wants us to believe that we’re alone in them. This happens in your personal life, and it happens with your God-shaped dream.

In this solo episode, you’re going to hear:

  • What results when we function mostly in isolation

  • Why we find it so difficult to invite others in

  • The difference it can make when you shift out of isolation mode and into community

And that’s not all!

In case you haven’t already heard, I’m offering four free workshops this month with practical opportunities to build up a habit of involving others in your dream. Sure, it might still be challenging to do so, but it’s going to be so good for you AND your dream!

Take my word for it and register for the workshops right here.

Scripture:

The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
~ Genesis 2:18 (NIV)

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
~ Galatians 6:2 (ESV)

Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another,
especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

~ Hebrews 10:24-25 (NLT)

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
~ Psalm 133:1 (NIV)

For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body,
and each member belongs to all the others.

~ Romans 12:4-5 (NIV)

You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
~ 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NIV)

You don’t belong to yourself any longer, for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, lives inside your sanctuary. You were God’s expensive purchase, paid for with tears of blood,
so by all means, then, use your body to bring glory to God!
~ 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (TPT)
