<p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In this episode, we’re tackling the reality of the "ruins" many of us face—whether it’s a struggling local economy, a faded Main Street, or a personal dream that’s hit a wall. But what looks like devastation isn’t the end of the story—it’s the starting point for rebuilding. Drawing from Isaiah 61:1-4, I’ll share why I see hope in the devastation—and how it begins with us. </p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">I’m guessing if you’re listening, you’re like me—someone with vision, someone who sees what could be. But I also feel that push of doubt, the temptation to let disappointment win—those strongholds that try to keep me small. From negative thoughts to patterns I’ve built brick by brick, I’m learning to tear them down and rebuild with God’s truth.</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Some key takeaways:</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">*Choosing to see the ruins as a starting point, not the finish line.</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">*Taking our thoughts captive to break free from lies holding us back.</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">*Rebuilding begins in our mind—and how it can transform our world.</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">As you listen, ask yourself: What lie am I tearing down today? What truth am I building up?</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">If you're ready to dive deeper, I’m offering <a target="_blank" href="/dreamsessions">Dare to Dream Sessions</a> for personalized guidance.

<p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Today, I felt this weight to talk about something specific: Where are you settling — with your dreams, your life, or even your walk with God? Do you believe what you’re living now is His best? I’ve been wrestling with that too—because even in good seasons, there’s this holy discontent whispering, ‘Don’t settle here. I’ve got more for you.’</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">And maybe some of you are smack in the middle of that discontent right now. You’re not loving where you’re at, and you feel like things need to shift. If that’s you, listen up: You might be in a training season, like David was before he took on Goliath. He had to face the lion and the bear first—those hidden battles that prepped him for the big, public win.</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Maybe some of you are in those private fights right now—fear, opposition, spiritual warfare—because God’s getting you ready to take down giants. It’s not just about the struggle, though; it’s about the promise and purpose on the other side—for you, your family, and the people you’re meant to reach.</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">So, if you’re feeling stuck or restless, what if there’s more God has for you? Not that where you are isn’t good—but is it His best? That’s what I want for you, because that’s what He wants for you. Stepping out of your comfort zone? Yeah, it’s tough. Believing there’s more takes guts. Where are you capping your dreams? Where are you boxing God into something smaller than what He’s got planned? Here’s the kicker: If your dream doesn’t scare you, you’re probably not dreaming big enough.</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">I want to be proud of the life I lived, knowing I refused to settle for less than God’s best. That’s available to you, too. Don't settle for the things that keep you from living life at the fullest. Your breakthrough’s on the other side of a fight. It’s work, but it’s worth it. Take hold of who God says you are and fight hard to keep it.</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">If you're ready to dive deeper, I’m offering <a target="_blank" href="/dreamsessions">Dare to Dream Sessions</a> for personalized guidance.
