I am so deeply grateful for you and Nick and how you continue to pursue Jesus in the midst of hard seasons.

Just today I was thinking it’s time to start casting vision again as I sense God may be asking me to step out of the role I’ve been in for 2 years at my church. Time to dream about something new, hope for whatever God has next.

Thank you... I found your podcast about a year ago through Revelation Wellness. I have to say, you have impacted my life in so many ways. I too have gone through so many seasons of hard beyond hard. There was a season about 10 years ago and in that year 30 major things happened... in 1 year. I still tear up when I think about that season. It was a season where I kept getting knocked down and as soon as I'd start to get up, I'd be knocked down again. I stopped getting up proverbially for a time, but God met me deeply and started the rebuilding process. I am thankful.

The past 4 years have been what feels like a barrage of attacks from the enemy as well, but God has done so much in changing me and changing my perspective of the tough times that threaten to take me down.

What I have embraced is so much of what you talk about and it resonates with me because I have grown and this time, I have fought to be fully awake and to enter into knowing God deeply in the suffering.

My heart goes out to you and your family and keep up the fight of being real and vulnerable and honest and pointing others to Christ. Praying for you...

Wow, Amy Lynn - grateful for this encouragement! I know the "30 major things" feeling so well. And I'm so proud of you for getting up again. With you and for you.

Thank you Jess for this! So needed to hear these life giving words of truth.

This post made me feel like I’m not crazy for hoping and even dreaming even in this season of grief and hard. It was like validation from the Lord to my heart that I can dare to dream, that it’s not crazy to keep praying and hoping for that one dream in my heart I’ve held onto for so long. That it’s ok to hope for more, to trust that the Lord can and wants to do more for me above and beyond what I could ask or think despite what this season looks like or what my circumstances are trying to tell me. This was a reminder I much needed to read that God is not done with my life yet and there is hope on the horizon. That I can hold out for hope to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 🙌🏼💞
