God-Sized Dreams Require God-Sent People
Saturday, May 10, 2025
Let’s talk about the part of your dream that was never meant to be carried alone
There’s something so sacred in Exodus 17. Moses stands on the mountain, arms stretched to heaven, doing everything God instructed. The Israelites are fighting, and the outcome of the battle is directly tied to Moses’ posture. As long as his hands stay raised, they win. But Moses isn’t superhuman. His arms grow tired. His strength fades.
And in that moment—God sends people.
Aaron and Hur don’t argue with the strategy. They don’t suggest an alternative. They just make space for Moses to rest and hold his arms up until the victory comes.
This is what divine alignment looks like: not replacing your vision, but helping you sustain it.
Even Jesus, in His most vulnerable moment, asked Peter, James, and John to stay and pray. He didn’t isolate. He invited. And He modelled something holy—that obedience can include intimacy. That needing people doesn’t disqualify your strength—it makes space for it to last.
So here’s the truth I want you to receive today: you weren’t designed to dream in isolation. The bigger the dream, the deeper the covering it will require.
Here’s what happens when you stop hiding and start letting the right people in
Everything begins to shift. Your posture changes. Your spirit breathes. The weight that felt too heavy begins to feel lighter—not because it disappeared, but because it’s finally distributed.
The moment you embrace divine partnership, striving loses its grip. Fear loosens its hold. Clarity starts to return.
Here’s what becomes possible:
You begin to walk slower, but with more power.
You start to feel joy again—because pressure no longer smothers your purpose.
You stop trying to prove and start allowing yourself to be supported.
This is the transformation that happens when we stop performing for people and start aligning with the ones who were always sent to help us carry.
When you allow others to cover you in prayer, hold space for your vulnerability, or simply sit with you in the weight of the assignment—you’re not weakening your dream. You’re reinforcing it with the very thing it was lacking: divine community.
Let’s name the places where you’ve confused isolation with strength and call in the support you need
In the coaching space, I see it all the time—brilliant leaders who don’t feel safe letting others in. And usually, it’s not pride that’s keeping them isolated—it’s pain. Disappointment. Memories of being unsupported. The heartbreak of opening up only to feel unseen or misunderstood.
But hear me: hyper-independence isn’t holiness. It’s a wound that learned how to survive.
And healing starts by being honest about how that wound formed.
So I want you to take inventory. Think about the people God has already placed in your life. Who checks in without needing something in return? Who prays with you when no one’s watching? Who reflects your identity back to you when you start to forget it?
Maybe you already have your circle—you just haven’t named it.
Or maybe you’re still waiting on that circle to form—and this is your invitation to start praying it in.
Either way, God is not asking you to continue building without covering. He’s calling you to believe that partnership is protection.
Let’s build your support system with intentionality:
Name your Intercessor – the one who prays without prompting.
Name your Encourager – the one who knows how to speak life.
Name your Mirror – the one who reminds you who you are.
Name your Advisor – the one who carries wisdom and truth.
Name your Warrior – the one who won’t let you go down without a fight.
Even if you can only name one person right now, that’s enough. God multiplies alignment. He honors vulnerability. He’ll meet you in the reach.
Your brain actually believes more when you’re surrounded by people who believe in you
This isn’t just spiritual—it’s scientific. When you’re in a space with safe, connected, faith-filled people, your brain and body start to respond.
You begin releasing oxytocin, the bonding hormone that says, “I’m safe here.”
You produce dopamine, the feel-good chemical that keeps you motivated.
You increase serotonin, which supports your mood, balance, and peace.
And—your cortisol levels drop, which means you think clearer, dream bigger, and recover faster from disappointment.
Your body literally begins to mirror the emotional health of the people around you. So if you’re surrounded by anxiety, you absorb it. But if you’re surrounded by intercession, wisdom, encouragement—you absorb that too.
This is why having the right people matters more than having a lot of people.
God will always send people to match your assignment. You don’t need a hundred. You need the few who are aligned, available, and anointed to walk with you through it.
Let’s make this tangible and begin stewarding the support you need
This week, take some time and build your Dream Team Inventory.
Start with the names that come quickly—those who’ve walked with you faithfully, covered you, spoken life over your vision. Then, be honest about the gaps. Maybe you need wise counsel. Maybe you need a peer who dreams like you. Maybe you need someone older in the faith to walk with you.
Pray over the list. Let the Holy Spirit highlight who needs to be invited in deeper. And then reach out. It can be simple:
“Hey, I’ve been carrying this dream and I realize I need people around me who believe like I do. Would you be open to walking with me, praying with me, or being someone I can check in with from time to time?”
And if even that feels like too much today, start here:
“Can I share something God’s been stirring in me? I’d love your prayers.”
Simple. Clear. Safe.
You’re not begging for help—you’re building connection.
