What does the day-to-day of your dream look like?

Imagine you could see ten years into the future of your God-shaped dream. What would an “ideal day” in the life of your dream be like? How would you be spending your time?

IF YOU’VE WONDERED WHETHER YOUR DREAM WILL TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU.

In your imagined future…

➡️ Are you sitting at a laptop in your favorite coffee shop tapping away at a manuscript?

➡️ Is it spending a few hours a day in your home office / workshop fulfilling orders for your art pieces?

➡️ Maybe you’re on a stage teaching the Bible to women who are hungry for the Word of God, and afterwards you get to participate in a lively conversation about taking the gospel and the love of Christ to a hurting world.

But what if you’re still not sure what exactly He’s asking of you?

And how do you even begin to answer these questions?

Do you just start and figure it out along the way?

I’m tackling these questions in this episode -- the first in a series of short conversations laying the groundwork for how we get started on a dream, what needs to come first, and how to think about moving forward when the path isn’t absolutely clear.

In one 15- to 20-minute episode at a time, we’ll be tackling perspectives on what you need to put in place at the beginning of pursuing your dream…before you’ve actually begun.

This week is about putting intentionality around HOW you will pursue your dream – and doing so in a way that it doesn’t take over your life or steal time from the people and responsibilities you’ve already committed to (in marriage, parenting, your church, service to others, etc.)

Yes, a God-shaped dream is given by God, but He often gives us the freedom to determine how we will proceed.

Yes, we do so with open hands, but how do you want to go about it? How can you best use your gifts? What is sustainable for you? For your family?

If you could choose (and you can!), what would it look like to live out your dream?

I’m asking you to consider a few key questions in this episode, including:

Do you know what your ideal day would include?
How can you begin in the way you want to go?
What support might you need to bring the dream to life?
How can you shape your day-to-day activities so all of your priorities fit?
