Is My Dream Really from God? How to Know If Your Calling Is from Him
You have a dream, one that won’t quite let you go. But it doesn’t look “spiritual.” It’s not a ministry. It’s not polished. Or maybe it feels a little too weird, too small, or too selfish to possibly be from God.
If you’ve ever wrestled with discerning your calling, questioned your qualifications, or assumed your dream is too messy or too offbeat to be from God, you’re in good company. He doesn’t only use polished, put-together people. In fact, He rarely does.
Besides, who among us is ever one hundred percent, perfectly put-together, no matter what we try to have the world believe?
So if you’ve been wondering, “Is my dream really from God?” you’re in the right place. This episode of The Confident Christian Woman Podcast will help you explore this question from the lens of calling, not comparison.

In Is My Dream Really from God, you’ll hear:
- What makes a dream God-sized (it’s not what you think).

- Scripture truth about how God uses the unexpected and the overlooked.
- Why your dream may be worth dusting off and taking seriously again.
God delights in doing extraordinary things through ordinary or unexpected people. When He does, He—not you or your qualifications—gets the glory.
But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being[a] might boast in the presence of God.
1 Corinthians 1:27-29 (ESV)
Your dream may not feel holy, lofty, or mainstream enough. But if it points back to Jesus, stirs up purpose, and calls you to depend on Him, it just may be from Him.
If you’ve been downplaying your dream because it doesn’t look like everyone else’s, this episode will help you stop second-guessing and start walking it out with God.
