About Kingdom Dreams

God is a dreamer – and so are you.

We believe God created everyone with a dream. A dream to bring heaven to earth. We believe discovering this dream is part of the journey, and that most people stop short of realizing theirs. We believe that no one should miss their dream. We believe this world needs you to dream God’s dreams. We want your heart to break over something broken in the world. We want what is unacceptable in this world to ignite a dream in you that would inspire you to make a difference. We want to help make your dream come true.

You can connect with Kingdom Dreams by sharing your dream on their website at http://www.kingdom-dreams.org and checking out their blog and great resources they offer. One resource is the free ebook Discovering Your Passion – An E-Book About Realizing Your Kingdom Dream, click here to get your copy.

There is a dream inside of you that is waiting to be released for the Kingdom. Discovering Your Passion sheds light on the dreaming process, teaching dreamers how to move from discovering your passion, to exploring a solution, to building a dream, to finally launching a dream…

Below are some of my favorite blog posts from the Kingdom Dreams team:

– Evolution of a Dream

– What Would You Do If You Couldn’t Fail?

Another one of the beautifully woven songs we sing during morning worship at my church; Gungor (here at Lakewood Church) singing “You Have Me” from the album Beautiful Things.

You Have Me Lyrics
Out on the farthest edge
there in the silence
You were there

My faith was torn to shreds
heart in the balance
but you were there

Always faithful
always good
You have still have my
You still have my heart…

“If you don’t get a miracle become one…” – Nick Vujicic

If you haven’t been inspired by Nick Vujicic yet (he was featured in a previous message pick on Dream in Soul), be prepared to be encouraged! Nick is an amazing man who shows that with faith and relying on God’s strength we can overcome dark and difficult circumstances that come in life. Born without arms or legs, Nick battled depression and suicide attempts growing up to face Life Without Limbs and find his true purpose and a life without limits- glorifying his Creator.

Now Nick travels across the world as a speaker and author, spreading the Good News and his story of triumph and everyday renewal of God’s mercy. Nick’s also been featured in a documentary of his life called “The Measure of a Man” and the creative short film that will become a feature length film, “The Butterfly Circus.” Now adding music artist to his inspirational repertoire, Nick recently launched a song called “Something More” to spread his message of hope, watch the video above (congrats to Nick who also recently got engaged!:). Visit his site http://www.attitudeisaltitude.com for updates on his ministry and projects, and download the song “Something More” on iTunes here.

The Something More Campaign

In the fall of 2009, Nick Vujicic and Tyrone Wells discussed the possibility of working on a project together, unaware that their bond had been established long before the meeting ever took place. Tyrone had already written the captivating “More” lyrics. Nick had always dreamed of being part of music with meaning. Today, the song connects both men in an incredible way.

“More” mirrors Nick’s personal testimony, depicts Tyrone’s heartfelt plea, and conveys a strong message of hope. Nick Vujicic and Tyrone Wells have united, and launched THE SOMETHING MORE CAMPAIGN, combining the arts of music and film with the power of inspiration. With the music video and the documentary series in the final stages of post-production, THE SOMETHING MORE CAMPAIGN is now ready to debut.

About Nick Vujicic

Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around a friend ; no hands to hold the ones you love; no fingers to experience touch ; no way to lift or carry things. How much more difficult would life be if you were living without arms and hands? Or what about legs? Imagine if instead of no arms, you had no legs. No ability to dance, walk, run, or even stand. Now put both of those scenarios together… no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that affect your everyday life?

Meet Nick Vujicic, pronounced ‘Vooy-cheech’. Born in 1982 in Brisbane, Australia, without any medical explanation or warning, Nicholas Vujicic came into the world with neither arms nor legs. Imagine the shock his parents felt when they saw their first-born brand new baby boy for the first time, only to find he was what the world would consider imperfect and abnormal.

For this Soul Connection Message Pick, here’s “5 Things Every Adult Should Know” from Axis, the 18-20+ community at Willow Creek Community Church. If you live near South Barrington, IL, check out their Gatherings every Wednesday night.

Message Notes:
– What do some of the plots of children’s movies in America tell us about the messages we give to kids about adulthood?
– “How do we begin to move out of our passivity and out of our consumption to begin to experience life in a real way?”
– “Life’s not about you, it’s about something way bigger than you, you just get to be apart of it…”

A few months back on Dream in Soul I interviewed Stephanie Rodnez, a young filmmaker who is using her passion for making movies to inspire other young people through her company Christ Effect Entertainment. Stephanie’s latest project is Youth of Christ, a fun feature length film about a lazy youth group’s struggle to host a youth revival at their church. The message of the movie is that no matter what age you are, you’re never too young to do big things for Jesus Christ.

Youth of Christ is now available on DVD on ChristianCinema.com. You can support Stephanie’s dream and help her movie reach others buy purchasing your copy today, click here to order – its a great film for any youth group, family or just to see with your friends.

Christ Effect Entertainment: “See our films, CEE Jesus Christ.” CEE’s mission is to bring quality media content to young adults that inspire their walk for Jesus Christ and help them grow in their commitment to Him. Christ Effect Entertainment is distinguished in that it is entertainment created specifically for young adult Christians.
