Every day when we go to work, we're either pursuing our own God-given dreams, or we're helping someone else accomplish theirs. The other day, a good friend told me he was dreaming of raising $1,000,000 to eradicate homelessness in his town. Wow. This week, no less than four people told me they've been dreaming of writing a book for years. I don't know anyone who doesn't have a dream. And as I'm interacting with some of the most influential people in ministry through Catalyst, I can tell you that the only thing that distinguishes them is having the disciplined action and courage to pursue it. All of us are accomplishing a dream. It might as well be ours.
Ben, This rings true with me for sure. I have a dream of reconnecting Christians with God and helping others do the same - there are so many lukewarm Christians out there - I would hate to see them "Spit out" (Rev. 3:15-16)

Amazing post Ben. I think we often have a bad case of the "Man Behind the Curtain" syndrome. I'll post more of what I mean on my blog and link back here. Fantastic post.
