Dream Big Study Guide
Rediscover how to pursue your dreams, see beyond limitations, and find clarity in God's plan for your life. Once upon a time we had big dreams. But life became a maze of responsibilities, obligations, and expectations. Maybe we see that there's more to life and more to faith, but we're distracted by the next crisis or urgent diversion, and that stirring of purpose always seems out of reach. We still have dreams, but we're no longer in touch with them... This video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately) will help you understand that God has a plan for your life. Bestselling author Bob Goff provides a step-by-step road map to breaking through the barriers that are holding you back. Each of the five sessions explores a different aspect of what it means to dream big: Get Ready to Dream Big – Before he healed him, Jesus asked the blind man, "Do you want to get well?" You have to want to dream again before you can come to any clear idea about who you are. Set Absurd Expectations – Dreaming big requires you to suspend your practical way of seeing things long enough to look beyond logistics and limitations. Clear the Path – Discover new paths through places you previously assumed were impassable by looking at the reasons you think you can't pursue your dreams. Push Through Setbacks – Learn to push through your fear of another failure by exploring the story of Peter trying to walk on water. Land the Plane – Time to advance from ideas and get started by taking action with real steps. If anyone knows how to live life to the fullest, it's Bob Goff. He's already dazzled readers with his audacious, live-out-loud approach and stories told in Love Does and Everybody, Always. Yet as unique as Bob might seem, he had to make his own choice to dream big, and he wants to take you and your study group on this journey and help you rediscover the dreams God has for you and to turn them into reality. No matter where you are in life, it's not too late to dream big. Designed for use with the Dream Big Video Study available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.
