In this episode of The Dream Lab Podcast, we’re continuing the journey we started last week with your first journaling assignment: looking back over your life to remember how far you’ve come.

This week, I’m inviting you to take that reflection even deeper—by doing it with a trusted friend. When I’ve walked through these journaling questions with others, the experience has always been rich, healing, and often sacred. By asking thoughtful follow-up questions and holding space, we create a safe environment for each other to uncover meaningful patterns and revelations—especially about how deeply God has been at work in our stories.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

• Deepen your journaling reflection by reviewing your answers with a friend
• Practice mindful, present listening without judgment or interruption
• Ask gentle, clarifying questions to understand someone’s heart more fully
• Reflect and respond without offering advice
• Prepare your heart and mind for the next step in the journaling series

You’ll also revisit key questions:

• What stood out in your journaling?
• Were there any surprises or emotional moments?
• Did you notice patterns or recurring themes?
• What might those themes reveal about your calling, gifts, or the way God uniquely designed you?

Why It Matters:

Life moves quickly, and it’s easy to forget who you are becoming in this season. This guided exercise helps you pause, slow down, and see the beauty of who God has made you to be right now. By noticing patterns, emotions, and affirmations from others, you’ll gain clarity and confidence in the unique design God has placed within you. This is more than just an exercise—it’s a way to deepen friendship, connect with your heart, and hear God’s voice in your story.
