Shownotes Transcript

**Why is dreaming so significant, and how do you dream freely? **Inspired by National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman’s beautiful inauguration poem, co-hosts Patricia Taylor, Kayla Craig, Lindsy Wallace, and Alissa Molina discuss the necessity of dreaming and having prophetic imagination.

In this episode, we:

  • **Talk about the boundlessness of dreaming and how it gives us vision for possibilities **
  • Ask how creativity relates to dreaming
  • Consider our roles as co-creators with a creator God
  • Ask how we come to lose our imagination and wonder what we are missing out on when that happens
  • Talk about the need for a community to show us that which we can’t see on our own and who can enter into dreaming with us
  • **Explore what it means to have the freedom and openness to dream **

**Join us as we discuss what inspires us to dream, how those around us can be a part of it, what can keep us from dreaming, and the need for prophetic imagination. **
