Send us Fan MailFind show notes here.  How do you adapt when your dream isn’t quite what you planned? Fear and perfectionism are two of the biggest enemies when it comes to pursuing a God-shaped dream. Maybe you’d prefer to have it all figured out before you begin. Or maybe you’ve stepped out in the past but then retreated when things didn't work like you thought they would. Friend, you are not alone!  But what if it’s not about getting everything perfect the first time? What if it’s your progress that actually matters the most?  My guest Christine Bailey knows all about stepping into a dream that is not fully figured out and the courage that comes from taking simple steps of obedience. From small beginnings, to the messy middle, and into seasons of fruitfulness, Christine and I talk about how to find beauty in every season of dreaming. So if you need a bit of encouragement or a little shift in perspective today when it comes to your dream, come join me for my conversation with farmer, writer, and fellow dreamer Christine Bailey.
