175 || When God Takes Your Dream in a Direction You Never Imagined || Courtney Wong Davis

Send us Fan Mail Courtney Wong Davis is a coach for executives and organizational leaders looking for creative solutions to complex challenges. She’s an associate professor of communication management at Azusa Pacific University, and her first book, Leading Small Groups that Thrive: Five Shifts to Take Your Group to the Next Level, is grounded in social science research and translated to make a practical contribution to equip small group leaders to facilitate individual spiritual growth. This is exactly the type of conversation I want to have here every week! It’s grounded in the gospel with a focus on how we can best steward the gifts God has given us, and it releases us from the weight of doing it all on our own strength. If your dream has felt heavy, let this episode be a reminder to you that the Lord has a greater purpose for your life than the form your dream is in today. After listening to this episode, you’ll: be inspired by the three short words Courtney uses to describe her dream, learn how using specific language like this helps shape her mission and inform every “yes” and “no” she gives, hear how our dreams help us identify idols and provide avenues for spiritual growth, and glean some deep gospel-based reassurance about God’s desire for us to dream alongside Him as the creator and maker of our dreams in the first place.
