This week marks 10 years of the Devoted Dreamers podcast, and I am celebrating by sharing one of my favorite conversations from the archives.
Author, speaker, and college instructor, Heather Holleman, PhD, loves helping women fall in love with the Bible and with Jesus. She believes God's Word is so powerful that it creates life where there is none, and she has built her entire calling around helping women take God at His Word.
If you are a midlife Christian woman trying to figure out where God is calling you, Heather is the kind of woman you want to sit with.
In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Heather and I talk about:
What it feels like to sense God's anointing on your work and why following that feeling matters more than having a plan
How Heather discovered her true calling by paying attention to where God was already moving, not by forcing a direction
How Scripture became her daily anchor and the specific verses that carry her through fear, pride, and uncertainty
This episode originally aired in 2018, and eight years later, this conversation still stops me in my tracks.
One of the things I keep coming back to is this:
Sometimes we get so focused on whether the dream will happen that we stop focusing on the person of Christ.
Heather returns to this reminder again and again, and every time she does, she brings a specific identity-in-Christ verse with her. It’s so rich and full of gospel truth.
If you find yourself in a season of wondering whether God is even doing anything with what he placed on your heart, this episode is for you.
Part 2 with Heather drops next week. Do not miss it.
