What Do You Do With a Dream?

Episode Title: What Do You Do With a Dream?

Episode Description:

You've got a dream. Maybe you've had it for years. But have you ever actually handed it over to God or are you just holding it a little too tight? In Genesis 40, Joseph is in prison with his own dreams buried, and yet he's the one pointing others to God as the interpreter of dreams. This episode is about releasing your grip, staying present where you are, and trusting that God is preparing you for what He's already placed inside you.

In This Episode:

  • Why moving forward sometimes looks like prison, not progress
  • The two kinds of dreams and why both matter
  • What Joseph does in Genesis 40 that most of us wouldn't think to do
  • Why "do not interpretations belong to God?" is one of the most faith-filled statements in the whole Joseph story
  • The difference between mentioning your dream to God and actually giving it to Him
  • How releasing your grip on the dream frees you to be present where you are right now

Key Quote:

"Giving your dream to God doesn't put it on hold. It frees you to do the work God has in front of you right now. And while you're doing that work, trust that He is preparing you for the dream He's already placed inside you."

About the Podcast

Leaving the Kid's Table
Do you remember the “kid’s table” when at family holidays or dinners? I do and that is right where I feel I am at, still, in my walk with God. Some look at it as being “ankle deep” in our walk. Either way, I am at a point where I am tired of being in this state. Every Monday at 6 am I will release short episodes where I am going to share what stood out to me in my time with God. At the end of the day it comes down to where scripture meets your story. You may be in the same spot as I am or you are sitting at the adult table or may need to join the kids table. Either option is ok, these episodes are to start the conversation as to “what stands out to you?” and not only grow myself but help others grow as well. "Here's the thing - leaving the kid's table isn't a one-time decision. It's a daily choice. And every day you choose to go deeper, I'll be right here with you."
