Are you in a place of hopelessness? Ever wake up with the thought: "What's the point?!"
The point is this: We never know if the seeds we plant today will bear fruit tomorrow.
Let's take my church’s journey to house the houseless as an example. The neighbors sued us for converting part of our building into a shelter. Yes, we faced setbacks, lawsuits, false accusations, and doubt. But we kept showing up in our faith, believing that what we were doing mattered—even when we didn’t know for sure if it would succeed.
Two years later, not only did we win the legal battle, but we also set precedent for other churches and organizations to follow. Now, not only will our church provide support for 26 people, our trials and tribulations made it possible for other institutions to do the same.
Here is the lesson: Even when obstacles feel insurmountable, lean in. Keep going, keep planting, keep dreaming for a better future. You’ll grow, regardless of the outcome. And sometimes, that growth is exactly what you need to see your dreams through.
If you want to learn skills on staying embodied with your Truth as you face obstacles, I am offering a live workshop on Sat, 5/2 from 12-2pm EST called, "Stay Embodied While the World Burns: Boundaries that Allow Care Without Collapse". Join us?
