259 || How to Pursue a Dream When You Can't See the Full Picture || Rachel Baker

What should you do when it feels like you don’t have what it takes to follow your dream?

Whether it’s time, energy, know-how, or all of the above, many of us struggle with feeling like we don’t have enough to accomplish the dream that God has given us.

Rachel Baker knows what it’s like to grapple with these questions. She’s the author of Deconstructed, a Bible study guide for anyone who feels overwhelmed or ill-equipped to study the Word of God. She’s also a pastor’s wife and the director of women’s ministries at their home church in Northern Nevada.

IF YOU’VE FELT LIKE YOU DON’T HAVE ENOUGH OF WHAT YOU NEED TO PURSUE A DREAM, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!

With everything on her plate, it can feel overwhelming, yet Rachel is confident that God has placed a calling on her life to support other women in their study of God’s Word and to grow in confidence that His hand is upon their lives.

Previously, Rachel was a guest on episode 223 where we talked about The Best Way to Get Started When You Don’t Know Where To Begin. She has returned to share what God is teaching her as she’s brought her feelings of lack before Him.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:  

  • Depending on God for all that you feel you are lacking,

  • Keeping your dream surrendered to God so He can continue to shape it and grow it, and

  • Leaning into God to define success for each season of your dream.
