Keep chasing God-sized dreams and becoming all that God has created you to be!

On this episode, we discuss the adventures of Leo, using our words well and we have our first ever becoming; Spotlight where we interview someone chasing their dreams.

All of us have a superpower called words. However, we often use them to tear others down instead of using them to build others up. Why? Because we are insecure and jealous. Both of those come out of placing our identity in the wrong things. We first have to discover our true identity before we can build others up consistently. What would happen if we built a culture of celebration and encouragement? We hope to find out!

Craig and Ashley discuss "The Dream Process" using a birth analogy:

The Process:1. Conceiving2. Carrying3. Delivering

The dream begins with conception where the idea is formed. It then moves into the carry stage where it is given more identity. Keys in this stage are setting goals and surrounding yourself with people who can challenge you and walk alongside you.

Finally, you have to deliver the dream. This is the scariest part because you have to put it out there no matter what anyone thinks.

We want to hear from you and what you are dreaming about. Head over to the Dream Corner to share what you are dreaming about and what stage of the process you are in!
