  • Ep. 405 From Dream to Reality: How Faith Can Help You Pursue Big Goals
    Feb 3 2025

    In this episode of The Woman of Faith Podcast, I’m diving into a topic close to my heart: how faith can help turn your dreams into reality. Have you ever felt God place a big dream in your heart, but fear or uncertainty held you back from pursuing it? Or maybe you've started the journey but faced so many obstacles that you’re questioning if it’s still worth it? Today, we’re going to explore how faith, trust in God’s timing, and taking action are key to turning those dreams into something tangible.

    I’ll be sharing insights from scripture, including Habakkuk 2:2-3, where God urges us to write the vision and trust in His appointed time. We’ll also look at powerful examples like Priscilla Shirer and my own personal story, showing how faith leads to extraordinary outcomes, even in the face of setbacks.

    I’ll also take you through Joseph’s journey, where betrayal and imprisonment didn’t derail his dream, but rather prepared him for God’s perfect timing. Remember, the challenges we face aren’t detours—they’re part of God’s process.

    Whether you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this episode will equip you with practical strategies and lessons to pursue your God-given dreams with courage and perseverance.

    As we close, I encourage you to reflect on these questions:

    • What dream has God placed in your heart that you’ve been afraid to pursue?
    • What’s one step you can take this week to move closer to making that dream a reality?
    • What’s one challenge holding you back, and how can you trust God to overcome it?

    I challenge you to take action: This week, spend time in prayer, write down the vision God has given you, and take one small, faith-filled step forward.

    If today’s episode inspired you, share it with a friend who needs encouragement to pursue their own God-given dreams.

    I’m excited to see you take the next step in making your dreams a reality, knowing that God is faithful to bring His promises to fruition in His perfect timing.
