Not every sermon needs a stage. Some of the most powerful messages people will ever encounter are the ones you preach without saying a word.In this episode of Monday Meditations, we explore what it means to live a life that reflects Christ, not just in belief, but in action — not just in what we say, but in how we respond, serve, forgive, and love. This isn’t a call to performance, but to presence. To walk in quiet obedience. To embody the Gospel long before we ever speak it.Because more than anything, the world is watching how we live.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

It's taken me three years to be able to share this story with you. Life is full. But God kept pressing on my heart that it's time to share the story.Pregnancy. Delivery. Postpartum. They're different for everyone. And in that 4th trimester, it isn’t about “bouncing back”. It’s about becoming.In this episode, I open up about what I did differently after my second child, and how my approach to postpartum shifted when I went from being a mom of one to a mom of two. I’ve kept my pregnancies and postpartum seasons intentionally private, but today I’m sharing pieces of my journey, not to prescribe, but to remind you: you don’t owe your story to anyone. The only voices that matter are yours, your baby’s, and God’s.I’ll walk you through:- Why the first three months are sacred for both you and your newborn- How I prepared differently for Charlie this time around- Why getting bloodwork after birth was a game-changer for my healing- The role of movement, nourishment, and scar care in postpartum recovery- My thoughts on C-section healing, CFT therapy, and lactation support- The importance of aligning with the right medical team- And why keeping space for your own passions (like Proclaim, for me) is not selfish — it’s stewardshipThis is not a “how-to” list. It’s a very real, raw, unedited conversation about grace, healing, and perspective. About slowing down, protecting your peace, and remembering that when your baby was born, a new version of you was born too.Whether you’re preparing for motherhood, in the thick of postpartum, or reflecting years later, I hope this episode gives you encouragement, permission to slow down, and the reminder that you are not alone.There is no rush. There is no race. There is only grace.Links for things I talk about:Coach Sal: www.Fortitudegymhq.comDr. Tiffany Zook: http://holistichomepediatrics.comCocoon to Bloom: https://cocoontobloom.com/intake-formsBellibind: https://www.bellibind.comWe hope that you enjoy this episode.

Spiritual warfare doesn’t always look like catastrophe, sometimes it looks like compromise, distraction, or slow drift. In this episode of Monday Meditations, we explore what it really means to “be watchful” in a world full of noise, confusion, and subtle lies.The enemy’s strategy is rarely loud. It’s quiet. Personal. Crafted to chip away at your identity, distort truth, and wear you down. But God hasn’t left you defenseless.This episode is a reminder that you don’t fight for victory, you fight from a place of triumph. You resist the enemy by staying rooted in the truth and surrender to the God who has already overcome.If you’re feeling weary, distracted, or spiritually under pressure, this is your invitation to reset. To return. To hold the line. Not in your strength, but in His.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

What if the silence in your life isn’t a sign of God’s absence . . . but His protection?In this episode of Monday Meditations, we explore the quiet, often painful space between promise and fulfillment — the place where God doesn’t hand us the blueprint, but instead hands us Himself.Whether you’re in a season of waiting, walking in the dark, or wondering why God hasn't revealed what's next, this meditation reminds us of a truth we rarely celebrate: it’s God’s mercy that keeps us from knowing too much, too soon.Before David ever wore the crown, he walked through caves. Before the breakthrough came, there was obscurity, testing, and silence.This episode will help you exhale in the waiting, find peace in the mystery, and remember that even in the quiet, God is still moving.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

In a culture obsessed with control, performance, and platform, this episode is a call back to quiet strength, the kind of strength that doesn’t clamor for recognition but kneels to serve.This Monday Meditation explores what it truly means to lead as Jesus did: not from the front of the room, but from the floor with a towel in hand. We dismantle the world’s version of leadership and return to the ancient, sacred pattern of sacrifice, humility, and obedience.Real leadership isn’t loud, it's faithful. It’s not about being seen, it's about serving well even when no one’s looking.If you’ve ever wondered whether your pouring out matters, this episode will remind you: God sees. And what is done in secret will not be wasted.This is for the man who is tired of striving and ready to lead from surrender. This is for the woman praying for the men in her life to rise in holy strength. This is for the servant-hearted who need to remember: you’re exactly where God works best.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

We’ve dressed fear up as wisdom. We’ve spiritualized our anxiety. We’ve built lives around safety and called it discernment. But let’s be honest, fear has become a socially accepted idol, and it’s robbing us of bold obedience, clear thinking, and the kind of faith that shakes kingdoms.In this episode, Erika exposes the seductive lies of fear, challenges the false theology we often build around it, and calls listeners back to the raw, immovable truth of who God is. This isn’t self-help. This is spiritual warfare. And it’s time to tear down the altar of fear and remember who holds the throne.If you're tired of living paralyzed by the “what-ifs,” this episode is your wake-up call. Fear is not your inheritance. Faith is. And your story isn’t over, but fear’s rule is.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

This episode of Monday Meditations cuts straight to the core of what it means to trust God when nothing makes sense. Based on Genesis 15, Erika Kirk takes you deep into the story of Abraham, a man who chose faith before the fulfillment of a promise and believed without proof.

If you've ever asked, “How do I trust when I don’t see it?”- this episode is your answer.Listen in and let the truth anchor you.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

I had the honor of speaking on Psalm 144, a battle cry for spiritual strength, divine training, and God’s heart for daughters who are both grounded and unshakable.We’re living in days where peace must be contended for, truth must be proclaimed boldly, and women must rise with purpose, not passivity.Join me as we unpack what it means to be pillars sculpted for a palace, not by our own might, but by the hands of a faithful and victorious God.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

There are moments in life when God does not answer the way we hoped. When the doors stay shut. When the healing doesn’t come. When the timing feels late, and the silence is heavy. In this Monday Meditations episode, we reflect on the beauty and mercy hidden in God’s “no.”Rooted in Mark 10:35 and steeped in the wisdom of surrender, this episode explores the tension between human desire and divine will. With Scripture as our anchor and trust as our posture, we remember: God's ways are not our ways—but they are always better.Let this be a quiet place for your soul today—a reminder that you are seen, you are led, and you are loved… even in the waiting.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

In a world that never stops shouting, God still chooses to whisper.This episode invites you into the holy hush—into solitude, silence, and stillness—where the soul is strengthened and peace is restored. Drawing from biblical examples like Jesus in Gethsemane, Elijah in the cave, and Hannah at the temple, E walks you through how holy stillness isn't weakness—it's warfare.Laced with Bible verses, this episode is a call to step away from the noise and return to the presence of the One who never shakes, never leaves, and never fails.If your soul feels tired, anxious, or spiritually thin, this sacred pause is for you.Take a deep breath.

Recorded live from the 10th annual Young Women’s Leadership Summit, this episode is a message straight from my heart to yours. I was deeply honored to speak at YWLS — and even more proud of my husband and the incredible team who have poured a decade into building this powerful movement of truth and leadership.In this special episode, I share a bold reminder: we are not just living in cultural chaos — we are standing in a spiritual war zone. And now more than ever, we need women who are not swept up by the noise of the world, but anchored in the Word of God.This message is a call to revive biblical womanhood — not the watered-down version the world offers, but the kind forged in fire, rooted in obedience, and patterned after the women who came before us: Esther. Ruth. Deborah. Hannah. Mary. Each of them stood in the tension of battle and belief. And so must we.If you're feeling the weight of your season — whether you’re waiting, leading, building, or starting over — this episode is for you.

There are moments in our walk with God when the light seems to fade. We stumble, not because the presence of God has left us, but because something has come between us and the Light.In this week’s Monday Meditations, we explore the quiet eclipse — the subtle ways fear, shame, and failure drift between our hearts and the face of Christ. Like Peter in the courtyard or David on the rooftop, we sometimes forget the light we’ve seen in times when shadows fall.But the light has not gone out. It is only hidden for a moment — and even there, God is praying, restoring, and calling us back.If you’ve felt distant, overwhelmed, or unworthy — this episode is for you.

Waiting can feel like silence. Like stagnation. Like abandonment.But what if the delay isn't a detour — what if it's divine preparation?In today’s episode of Monday Meditations, we explore what it means to wait with purpose and walk with willingness even when the answers haven’t come. Drawing from the story of Ruth, the groaning of Romans 8, and the promises of God's Word, we uncover the truth that God is never inactive — even when we can’t see His hand.This is for the one in the hallway between closed and open doors.For the one carrying holy tension.For the one tempted to give up.Let this episode reframe your waiting — not as wasted time, but as a sacred invitation to trust, serve, and hope deeper than ever before.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

It weighs just a few ounces and lives behind your teeth, yet it can split friendships, sow discord, or breathe life into dry bones.We’re talking about the tongue.Not just what it says—but what it reveals.Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” That means your words are not random—they’re reflections.

In this episode I just want to encourage you as you go through the "unseen" season of life. Where you feel invisible to God. Don’t despise the waiting. Don’t mistake silence for absence. God is near, even now. He is working in ways you cannot yet comprehend. Every moment of faithfulness, every unseen act of obedience, is being woven into something far greater than you could ever imagine. You are not on pause. You are being positioned. You are not forgotten. You are fortified. And when the time comes, when the season shifts, you will step into the fullness of His calling, prepared, strengthened, and unshaken.

Loving God with all our heart, soul, and strength is a beautiful command, one designed to deepen our relationship with Him. Yet, when we truly consider what it means, it can feel overwhelming. When we experience a true relationship with Him, nothing else will satisfy our soul. While we will always be growing in our love for God, we do so with the assurance that He strengthens us, renews our minds, and transforms our hearts. And even as we strive to love Him more, we rest in the truth that “we love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19).We hope that you enjoy this episode.

“Who designed your outfit?” or “What brand are you wearing?” The world chases after couture, but as Christians, we are called to be clothed in something far greater—a garment of praise. When we choose to wear praise, we shift our focus from the temporary to the eternal. Praise is not just a song or a moment in church; it is a lifestyle, a spiritual covering that reminds us of God’s goodness in every season. The world may define status by outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. Instead of being draped in anxiety, fear, or the pressures of materialism, we are to be clothed in gratitude, worship, and faith.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

The key is to choose God’s way and hold possessions loosely. Jesus warned that “a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions” (Luke 12:15). Money can be a useful servant but a dangerous master. Property is to be used, enjoyed, shared, and given—but never hoarded. Paul reminds us that “the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). When wealth becomes our focus, it shackles our hearts, hardens our spirits, and blinds us to what truly matters.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Welcome to Season 4 of Midweek Rise Up! We're starting off this new season with an awesome episode featuring my husband, the incredible, Charlie Kirk. We sit down together at AmericaFest 2024 discussing a multitude of topics, but mostly explaining what this past year has been like for us, as a family, individually, and also the power of literally surrounding everything to the Lord and saying, "Here I am, Lord. Use me." But, be prepared, because God will do just that, use you, in the most POWERFUL ways. We hope this episode encourages you to be a good spouse, love your children, and use your life in a way that glorifies God.

God loves you—personally, powerfully, and passionately. His love is not distant or indifferent; it is intentional and ever-present. Would He save you only to leave you in fear? Would He teach you to walk, only to watch you stumble? Would He endure the agony of the cross for your sins, only to ignore your prayers? Of course not.Look to Jesus, and you will see the heart of God. Watch as He reveals the Kingdom—His power over disease and death, His ability to restore what was lost, His tears for a broken world, and His authority to bring healing. Whether we recognize it or not, His Kingdom is advancing, His love is unshaken, and He is always listening.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Comparison is a thief. It can steal joy, it can steal self-worth, it can steal purpose. It robs people of peace and contentment. God specifically and sovereignly designed you with unique gifts and specific purpose. No matter what season you’re in, be humble and present and find ways to grow. Remember that you’re constantly evolving–for better or for worse. Don’t let comparison put out the Spirit’s fire that is within you. Astonish a mean world with your acts of selflessness and kindness and proclaim the truth unapologetically. Remember, your DNA is NOT a mistake. There is only one you so stand firm in the middle of the chaos in culture. Continue to live each day with a grateful heart, knowing that although you are not in control of certain things, you are deeply loved by the One who is.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

We are more than flesh and bone. We are spiritual beings made in the image of God. Jesus is the Son of God and the one and only Way. If you believe this and accept Christ as your Savior, and ask for forgiveness for your sins, then you are a new creation. When Jesus hung on the cross, God didn’t just see Jesus–He saw you, He saw me. God wiped our slate clean. He removed our old life and put new life in us. That new life is Christ who lives in us. We are bought by the blood of the Lamb, Christ Jesus, and that purchase isn’t just a changed life; it’s an exchanged life. Because Christ lives in you, you are empowered by His spirit to take ownership of your callings, roles and the responsibilities He has ordained for your life. God wants to use you to change lives, to change the world. You are more than equipped by His Spirit to help make heaven crowded.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Hardships do not discriminate and trials come in many different shapes and sizes. When they do hit, remember that you possess the fruits of the Spirit. You have the gift of joy, which is essentially a superpower. You are equipped for the battle. God is for you. He goes before you. He will never forsake you. He will never leave you. His love is unrelenting and immovable. When your joy is challenged, draw near to God. He is the only one who holds all things together. Don’t focus on the storm. Don’t focus on the lack. The chaos. The loss. Instead, focus on the masterpiece that God is accomplishing and working in you and through you. Don’t cling to crisis; cling to Christ. We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Growing up I was consistently told that “hope is not a strategy.” This made no sense to me. I thought it was silly to say that it wasn’t because we’re told in 1 Corinthians 13:13 that the three things that will last forever are faith, hope and love. I kept my own “hope strategy” to myself and fought back on the premise I was repeatedly told.Choosing hope will be more difficult at certain times than others. Sometimes the unexpected hits and it throws us off course and challenges our hope. In these trying times, you must remember that you’re wrapped in the loving arms of our God. He will catch you. He will carry you. He will lead and guide you. Remember that the Lord is our Shepherd who renews and restores our souls with hope. In life, we will continually experience the unexpected but that’s the beauty of the promise of hope we have in Christ–we will not fail. View unshakeable hope as an adventure with God. Just you and Him in lockstep. Only God can take us into newness of life and opportunity. Only He can guide us into new places, experiences and opportunities beyond our feeble imaginings and wildest dreams. We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Repentance is more than just sincere regret or remorse. It’s more than just discontinuing a sin. Though we are extended grace continuously, it’s essential that we check our hearts and make sure that we don’t use it as an opportunity to abuse God’s free and merciful gift. Just because you have the Holy Spirit inside you doesn’t give you permission to sin, ask for forgiveness and then keep committing the same sin over and over again. Stay close to God. Keep that path clear. Stay within the jet stream of His will. View repentance as the gift that it is. Even though we don’t deserve it, it’s God’s beautiful way of saying, “Come back to me, child. Here is the path back to me. I love you, you are forgiven, now go and sin no more.”We hope that you enjoy this episode.

In case you haven’t realized, we do not live in a world where everyone is wearing rose-colored glasses and basking in pure utopia. We live on a sinful, fallen earth and we know that the devil is the prince of this world. What God created for good, Satan wants to counterfeit and manipulate and use for evil. Don’t blame God for your “Why me?” moments. God may allow a storm to hit your life, just like Job, but He didn’t create it. None of us wants to endure pain and suffering but we are equipped to honor and glorify the Lord in the midst of it. We are enabled to clothe ourselves in the full armor of God. We have His Word, we have His Spirit, we have our salvation, and we have His promise that all that is wrong will one day be made right. We hope that you enjoy this episode.

So many of us are afraid to be alone. We equate it with loneliness. We avoid it because silence is where our thoughts can sometimes be the loudest and our minds are where the enemy often tries to battle the hardest.Throughout scripture, we read of God appearing to people in quiet places of solitude, giving leaders visions, or even speaking audibly.If you find yourself alone in the quiet, it’s great to shift your mindset from selfish pursuits and to instead see it as a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a free moment alone with the Lord.Prioritize time with God above all else. Praise Him and thank Him for all He has done. Offer Him the worship He is due. Ask Him to reveal what He is calling you to do in this season of life. Not last season. Not future seasons. But right now. Whether you’re standing on a mountain top or sitting in a valley. Seek Him fully. When you knock, you can be certain He’ll answer. He’s always ready for you to invite Him in.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Every choice a person makes either stirs hell up or brings heaven down. There are people who are burden-lifters and people who are burden-givers. Sometimes, a disagreement may not be over a positive versus negative viewpoint, rather, it might be over hard-headedness or hard-heartedness.When handling disagreements and conflict, look toward Jesus and follow the example of His life. Don’t fight fire with fire. You should put on the full armor of God and you should fervently seek His wisdom. Allow God to refine you through conflict and to teach you healthier and holier ways of dealing with it. Do your best to handle disagreements like Christ.

Our primary mission field begins within our own homes and circles of friends and family. Oftentimes, this area of our lives is where we experience the most conflict. Without even realizing it, we can wrongly take things out on the people we love and feel secure with because we know their love is unconditional and we take it for granted. It's critically important to take a step back in these situations and remember: your spouse, your child, your friend is not the enemy. The enemy is the enemy. Allow God to rule over your actions and your words. Be intentional about these critical things, especially with those you love, whom God has entrusted to you. Those people are in your corner to help you and love you, not hurt you, and you need to steward those relationships in the same way.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Once you set them there under His watchful care, don’t bend down to pick them back up.Whatever the case may be, you must resist the urge to handle alone what God wants to shoulder with you. When you leave your burdens at his feet, leave them. Let them go and invite Him in. Put your fears, your burdens, your worries into the nail-scarred hands of our Savior.

Fasting releases us from the constant distractions surrounding us and the unworthy things vying for our attention. It helps us to be attune to God’s voice and to remember that we need to depend on Him every single moment of every single day. He is the one we must rely on for our spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. No other source can satisfy. John Piper explained it well when he wrote that, at its heart, fasting is “an intensification of prayer. It’s a physical exclamation point at the end of the sentence, ‘We hunger for you to come in power.’ It’s a cry with your body, ‘I really mean it, Lord! This much, I hunger for you.’ “We hope that you enjoy this episode.

It’s a challenge to define “holy fear” or the act of “fearing God'' in just a simple sentence or even paragraph for that matter. It's so important to remember that the fear of the Lord does not drive us away from God’s presence–it’s the exact opposite. Holy fear is a wonderful, godly fear that lays a firm foundation for us as believers. It involves deep and abiding reverence–profound, adoring respect.Holy fear is a gift of love and even protection, offered to us by a God who cares for us profoundly. Do you want to embrace holy fear?

It’s so easy to get caught up trying to “fix” our circumstances, relationships or friendships instead of fixing our gaze on Jesus–the only one who can, and someday will, truly fix everything in this broken world. Stop rushing into situations in an attempt to “fix” everything. Instead, breathe, be still, and remember what I’ve reminded you of before: there’s a difference between being still and being stagnant. If you’re feeling discouraged or overwhelmed by a storm or valley in your life, remember that you’re a human with a limited capacity. Instead of putting pressure on yourself to achieve what only God can, seek Him wholeheartedly. Don’t try to climb your mountains alone.

Happy Monday Meditations! Today we’re going to be meditating on healing.Every one of us is in need of healing, whether it be from sin, sickness, mental affliction, spiritual fatigue, emotional suffering or anxiety and worry. I want to encourage you to reconcile your wounds. Don’t run away in fear or avoidance from the problems you face. Healing will elude you if you don’t confront the root causes of your struggles. Instead of fleeing, go to the source of endless supply, our God. He is Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals. Ask Him to empower you and strengthen your shoulders, that He would equip you to address the struggles you’re experiencing and to tackle your situation head-on. In John 10:10 Jesus says, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” He died for us so that we can live for Him.

Happy Monday Meditations! Today we’re going to be meditating on how our God is eternal.There’s a difference between time and eternity. As humans we live, eat, breathe, sleep, and exist on time. But one day, when our bodies pass or when Jesus comes, whichever first, time as we know it will be no more. Those who are redeemed in Christ will enter into a never-ending day, eternity. No one made God. The concept of eternity is woven throughout scripture and is revealed to us in God’s creation every single day. God is not on trial, he doesn't have to prove his existence to us and to the skeptics.This attribute of God shows to us even more how He lives outside of time and is in complete control of everything. He is in the past, the present, and the future. Because of eternity we do not have to live in fear or despair, we can rest knowing that we have a God who is in control every hour of today, and every minute of tomorrow.We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Happy Monday Meditations! Today we’re going to start the week of right by meditating on God’s attribute of Generosity. As Christian’s we hear a lot about God’s sovereignty, his holiness, his wisdom, and his love, but an attribute not many focus on is how incredibly generous our God is. This attribute of our God highlights that He is the ultimate giver of life. He sustains. He is generous. He is always and he is completely. God’s generosity is enduring, it is overflowing, and bountiful.

God will never be less than He is now, or ever be different from what He has already revealed Himself to be in the past.God is without beginning or end. He is not only unchanging, but is just, all-knowing, all-powerful, ever present, holy, faithful and loving. God is also unchanging in His faithfulness to us, in His wisdom and in His counsel.

Surprise! On August 23, 2022 we welcomed into this crazy, but beautiful, world our precious baby girl! This episode of Midweek Rise Up is dedicated to all of my friends, family, and followers who had no idea I was pregnant since we kept it extremely private. In this episode I share a few reasons out of the many as to why we decided to take the route we did for these past 9 months.Life is so precious. We get so boggled down with the noise of society. And if we’re not like society, then people think there’s something wrong. When in fact it should be the opposite. If you look like society you can’t impact it…you can’t influence it. Remove the external and societal pressure of what you’re expected to do when expecting. Motherhood is sacred, and truly so is privacy in today’s world.

My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine.

THE WORD THIS WEEK IS: closer.I know that might seem conflicting due to the circumstances we’re currently in with a nationwide 15-day quarantine over COVID-19 while learning the art of the new collective norm of social distancing -- but there’s some irony in all of this. Although we are social distancing in some aspects of our daily life, we’re also given the opportunity, right now, to become closer in others.This week we break down some ways to grow closer during the push for distance.So take a break, be still…& know that this too shall pass.You are loved my friend.

THE WORD THIS WEEK IS: promise.What a weighted word. We say it like it's just a noun, forgetting that it is a verb as well. But what does it actually mean to you? Is your word your bond? Do you make promises that you intend to keep, but then pull back last minute because of inconvenience?This week we dive into HEBREWS 13:5Where God says, “Never will I leave you, Never will I forsake you.”There are so many promises from God’s word to you. He is a faithful God. A God who keeps His covenant for a thousand generations .His promises and covenants are ones that you can build upon, make yours the same...after all, actions prove why words mean nothing.You are loved my friend.

THE WORD THIS WEEK IS: vapor."Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Everything is meaningless!" Wait, what?!Yup. Meaningless. What if I were to tell you there's nothing new under the sun & that our life is merely vapor? Would it challenge you to live differently? Would it put things into perspective more? This week as we dive into Chapter 1 of Ecclesiastes, put your ego aside & fully experience the moments that you’re in for the gifts that they are -- we are so blessed to be alive for such a time as this. Don't chase after wind. Don't build your dreams on vanity and vapor. There is a time for everything & a season for every activity under the heavens.You are loved my friend.

THE WORD THIS WEEK IS: dare.Truth or dare? Dare. I dare you to dream. You know exactly what dream I'm talking about too. It's that dream that God continues to put on your heart, that you keep ignoring because the timing is not right to pursue it. Or you're just flat out afraid. Well my friend, it's time. Shake off the fear. God rejoices when you dare to dream.In Isaiah 14:27 it says that when the Lord all-powerful makes a plan, no one can stop it. What is meant for you, will always be yours. You are called. You are chosen. You were created for such a time as this to dream, to live out the God-colored manifestations of your heart. So, don't be afraid. He's got this, take that first step. I. Dare. You. You are loved my friend.
