You spend time with the wrong people. You’re more comfortable eating dinner with a pimp or pimply-faced punk as the self-righteous. For you dream that theirs too is the Kingdom of God. (Matthew 9:10-13)
Your faith is untamed. It’s a raging inferno of purpose. It’s more driven than any model. It’s wide-eyed and beautiful recklessness. Strategy and planning take a back seat when you’re at your best. For the Spirit both comforts and guides. (John 14:16-17)
You see earthly success as wasteful failure while embracing Kingdom dreams of another way. (Matthew 4:19)
Christ shines not on your sweet sleep dreams, but on the vivid realities of your waking walking wonderful dreams. (Ephesians 5:14)
These dreams aren’t just for you, they are you.
The Gospel isn’t just for your eternal destiny, it lives through you to renew your neighborhood. (John 1:14)
Hold on, Dreamer!
Hold on.
