Dream In Soul – Creativity for the Kingdom:

Jimmy Evans and his wife Karen may best be known for their ministry MarriageToday that enriches and equips couples and families with the teaching and tools they need to succeed. I have been especially inspired by one of their message series entitled “I Am Joseph: The Multi-Colored Impact of Dreams on Your Destiny” that gives encouragement for realizing your God-given dream and persevering when dreams are delayed. The series
is based on the story of Joseph how each of us can relate to his journey from being a young dreamer thrown into a pit to saving his people from the palace. I found myself nodding to myself at so much of the message, and applying the wisdom to my own life and dreams.

You can get the full “I Am Joseph” series as a DVD, CD or MP3 Audio Download. You can watch a clip of the series above for just a snippet of this power-packed series.

“I Am Joseph” Series Description:

God has a dream for each of us to follow, a specific purpose and destiny for our lives. Inspired by the life-story of Joseph, this series explains the role of dreams God’s redemptive plan. You’ll discover the great things that can happen when you give yourself permission to dream.

• Permission to Dream
• Why Dreams are Delayed
• The DNA of Dreams
• AND The Dream that Never Dies

From Dream To Destiny is a current message series from Pastor Robert Morris of Gateway Church, on living out God’s dream for your life, based on the biblical story of Joseph:

Do your dreams seem out of reach?

God has given each of us a dream—an idea that sets our hearts racing at the mere thought of it.

Unfortunately, most people never see their dreams come to pass, so they never fulfill God’s destiny for their lives…

Most everyone has asked these questions:

• Who am I?
• Why am I here?
• What should I be doing?

Artists in particular, from painters to musicians, may ask these questions regarding their gifts:

• Who am I as an artist?
• Why do I have this talent?
• What does God want me to do with it?

Navigating these questions might be frustrating when we don’t “hear” what God wants us to do with the gifts He’s given us. How do we know what route to take with our abilities?

Art Lessons from God is a great online spiritual resource that delves into these questions of gifting and calling. The web publication and discussion group were created with the purpose of helping artists and designers discover God’s purpose and plan for their artistic talent. The site was created by Tony Snipes of Kreative Kingdom, Inc. a non-profit faith-based art initiative.

Though the site is targeted toward visual artists it has much insight that could inspire artists of any type from writers and performers to musicians and filmmakers. Many of the topics explored can apply to a variety of arts, like “Anointed versus Talented: What’s the Difference?” to “Discovering a “God” idea vs a “Good” idea.” Often in our society we acknowledge the “how” regarding talents of individuals but may not always consider the deeper questions involved with “why”…

Dream in Soul presents the Soul Dreamer Resources library, part of the DreaminSoul.com Network. It was created as a way to compile resources related to career and calling for dreamers for a variety of industries and professionals, including artists, musicians, writers, and entrepreneurs, as well as those pursuing other fields.

The aim of this resource is to inspire others to dream in soul – to not merely dream and pursue goals guided by their their own desires, but to view their passions and purpose through the lens of God and the plans He has for them (Jeremiah 29:11).
