She is a columnist for Inc.com and a regular contributor to Christianity Today. Her work has also appeared in dozens of publications in the U.S., U.K., and Asia. Previously, Dorcas worked as a nonprofit and social enterprise professional for a decade. A Silicon Valley native, Dorcas has also lived in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Kenya. She and her entrepreneur husband have two adorable hapa boys. In this interview, Dorcas reminds us a that just because the path is difficult, or we cannot see the fruit of the work we’re doing or that we feel stuck and alone in this moment, that doesn’t mean God is not with us or we’re not following the right dream. Some of my other takeaways from this conversation with Dorcas include: The value of knowing yourself and learning to accept and embrace who God made you. That no matter what you feel called to, you need breaks from work, technology, and the day-to-day demands. This was a great reminder of the value of keeping the Sabbath. And how feeling stuck might just be God inviting you into deeper communion with Him.
