Say Your Dream Out Loud Before You Talk Yourself Out of It

Send us Fan Mail~ What if the thing standing between you and your dream is simply that you have never said it out loud?In this episode, my friend and co-host Erin Straza and I get honest about what it actually takes to go after something that feels bigger than you. We talk about renewing your mind, knowing who God says you are, and why speaking the dream matters more than having a perfect plan to follow.Before we close out the conversation with Erin, she shares a story about her husband Mike, a 56-year-old competitive runner whose coach challenged him to name a time goal he had been too afraid to voice. That moment was a game-changer and sheds light on how we think about a God-shaped dream.In this conversation, we’re talking about:The daily choice to set your mind on life and light instead of fear and doubtWhy knowing you are a beloved daughter of God is the foundationHow saying the dream out loud is an act of faith rather than prideYou do not have to say it publicly or post it online, but you do need to say it to someone you trust. That is exactly why I built Dream Believers, a community where women pursue God-shaped dreams together, are honest about the highs and lows, and remind each other who we are in Him.

Sometimes we think we need to see the whole path before we can take the next step, but that’s simply not true. Your job is to be faithful to what is right in front of you today.🔗 Connect with Erin StrazaWebsite: erinstraza.com/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/erinstraza/ Devoted Dreamers is hosted by Merritt Onsa — Christian life coach, mentor, speaker, and founder of Dream Believers.
