The day I decided to decide
Hey Reader, Let's say you have a big dream from God. đ You probably already know what it is: write a book, launch a ministry, start a business, record a podcast, build an online presenceâŚor your very own, unique, God-wired thing that requires you to put on your big girl pants and share a piece of yourself with the world. And yet. Here you are. You've done a little research. Collected some ideas in a Google doc. Thought about whether you need a website or a social media presence. Maybe you've...
When an idea wonât leave you alone
Hey Reader, Which of these sounds most like you? A. I like to keep a new idea to myself for a long time so I can mull it over and figure out if itâs something I really want to do.B. I prefer to talk out a new idea with anyone who will listen so I can test out how it feels coming out of my mouth, get reactions from other people, and then make a decision about whether I want to go for it. Are you in the A camp or the B camp? I donât think thereâs anything wrong with either one, but I fall...
The 3 Ingredients Your Dream Actually Needs
Reader, Last week I wrote to you about the power of the right community and how it can move you forward instead of leaving you stuck in waiting mode. The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that community isnât just helpful for dreamers. Itâs essential. But not just any community. In Christian circles, community often means gathering regularly to encourage one another, pray, share meals, and grow in faith together. Those rhythms matter deeply in the life of the church. But when I...
One thing worth paying attention to
Iâm curious, Reader, how long would you say youâve had that dream? Do you remember the moment when you first thought, âIâd really love to do something like thisâ? Some women tell me theyâve had a dream for a few years, but the majority say itâs been a decade or more. Whatâs holding them back? Tell me if any of this resonates with you: "âŚit feels scary and stressful to not know where itâs going to lead." "âŚoverthinkingâI've been in a state of just thinking and not doing." "âŚstumbling over good...
The bravest step is often the first one
Reader, Iâve noticed a theme in online spaces lately: women who are doing wildly successful work are making space to pause. Amy Porterfield was the first to draw my attention with an email she sent in December. It carried the subject line: âI'm pausing my podcast (and the âexpertsâ think I'm crazy)â Her reasoning: so she could devote her time to one thing with long-term impact. This was the sentence that resonated with me the most: âDecember has to belong to deep work.â Then, a few weeks...
The one thing we both need right about now
Reader, Tension is mounting. Despite how much we want Advent to be a season of rest and a slower pace, a time to dwell in the palpable sense of waitingâas the Israelites did for generationsâat this point in the calendar, all of that gets thrown to the wind. There are menus to be planned. âJust a few more thingsâ needed from the store. An Amazon cart chock full of gifts that will arrive just in time to wrap and place under the tree. Do you feel it? Even sitting here in my home, away from the...
The BOLD decision your dream is asking of you
Reader, What will your dream ask of you? There are the obvious answers: Time. Money. Creativity. Commitment. And then there are the not-so-obvious answers. I canât give you a list of thoseâthatâs the not-so-obvious partâbut if I describe what it feels like, I bet youâll get there soon enough. The first brave step is more like a tip-toe. It comes as a tender season of listening while God stirs something in you: a longing, a desire to serve, feeling drawn to meaningful work. At this point...
One simple truth for when your dream feels out of reach
Reader, When you think about your dream, is it difficult to envision it actually happening? Some of us are wired to visualize the possibilities, and some of us get stuck in the past, maybe remembering the last time you tried something outside of your comfort zone. Whichever camp you fall into, these are the questions that usually come up at the sight of someone elseâs success. Questions like: âHow did she do that?â âWhat did it take to get there?â âCould I ever do something like that?â In...

Meganâs Story: She didnât expect her dream to feel this way
Reader, Imagine what it would be like to wake up every morning excited to discover what God has for you and your dream today. To know exactly what youâre building with Him and to feel grateful that youâre no longer carrying the weight of it alone. With the momentum, clarity, and women beside you who remind you youâre not crazy for wanting this. Thatâs the shift Megan experienced when she stepped into Dream Believers. And she eagerly told me about it because she knows sheâs not the only one...
