When Scripture Is the Anchor for Your Dream

Send us Fan Mail~ This week marks 10 years of the Devoted Dreamers podcast, and I am celebrating by sharing one of my favorite conversations from the archives. Author, speaker, and college instructor, Heather Holleman, PhD, loves helping women fall in love with the Bible and with Jesus. She believes God's Word is so powerful that it creates life where there is none, and she has built her entire calling around helping women take God at His Word. If you are a midlife Christian woman trying to figure out where God is calling you, Heather is the kind of woman you want to sit with.In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Heather and I talk about:What it feels like to sense God's anointing on your work and why following that feeling matters more than having a planHow Heather discovered her true calling by paying attention to where God was already moving, not by forcing a directionHow Scripture became her daily anchor and the specific verses that carry her through fear, pride, and uncertaintyThis episode originally aired in 2018, and eight years later, this conversation still stops me in my tracks.One of the things I keep coming back to is this: sometimes we get so focused on whether the dream will happen that we stop focusing on the person of Christ. She returns to that truth again and again, and every time she does, she brings a specific verse with her. It’s so rich and full of gospel truth. So, if you find yourself in a season of wondering whether God is even doing anything with what he placed on your heart, this episode is for you.I also want to say, if you are already pursuing a God-shaped dream and you want to build community around that, I would love for you to join us in Dream Believers, my online community for women who are taking faithful steps toward what God has put on their hearts.
