What if your dream is already in the hearts of others?
Have you ever considered that just because God gave you a dream that it doesn’t mean you were intended to fulfill it alone? Could there be others out there who have gifts and talents and experiences that you lack and who could be fantastic assets to your team and the fulfillment of your dream?
IF YOU’VE EVER WONDERED WHETHER YOU WERE MEANT TO BUILD A TEAM AROUND YOUR DREAM, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!
Lindsay May returns to the podcast as part of my Building Your Team Series to share more about how she built a dream team around what has become The Truly Co, Truly Co magazine and The Truly Co Podcast. She explains why it was so important to build a team from the beginning and how she started with people who were right in front of her and a need she saw in her local church.
As you consider what it might look like to add people to your team, you might be thinking:
Who could I invite to join my team?
I’m not sure I am willing to release control of a dream that’s been so close to my heart. What if others mess it up or take it in a direction that I don’t want to go?
What if I don’t know how to lead others on my team?
What if I can’t pay them?
Lindsay and I talk about all of these topics and more, like:
How starting with what you have will help you realize what you need
Why your dream can’t really blossom if you keep it to yourself
A biblical example of delegation & why it’s so important to invite others to your team
You might also set aside some time to pray and listen to the Lord, asking if He has a team for you, what your next step is to find the first team member, and how to release control over a dream that’s so dear to your heart.

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE
My first interview with Lindsay May (ep 240)
Scripture:
The next day Moses took his seat to serve as judge for the people, and they stood around him from morning till evening. When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he said, “What is this you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge, while all these people stand around you from morning till evening?”
Moses answered him, “Because the people come to me to seek God’s will. Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me, and I decide between the parties and inform them of God’s decrees and instructions.”
Moses’ father-in-law replied, “What you are doing is not good. You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone. Listen now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must be the people’s representative before God and bring their disputes to him. Teach them his decrees and instructions, and show them the way they are to live and how they are to behave. But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. Have them serve as judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load lighter, because they will share it with you. If you do this and God so commands, you will be able to stand the strain, and all these people will go home satisfied.”
Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said. He chose capable men from all Israel and made them leaders of the people, officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. They served as judges for the people at all times. The difficult cases they brought to Moses, but the simple ones they decided themselves.
~ Exodus 18:13-26 (NIV)
I lift my eyes toward the mountains.
Where will my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to slip;
your Protector will not slumber.
Indeed, the Protector of Israel
does not slumber or sleep.
The Lord protects you;
the Lord is a shelter right by your side.
The sun will not strike you by day
or the moon by night.
The Lord will protect you from all harm;
he will protect your life.
The Lord will protect your coming and going
both now and forever.
~ Psalm 121:1-8 (CSB)
