The Phil Vischer Podcast: Ep 8- Following Your Dreams vs. Following Jesus

Leadership Journal July 18, 2012

In this week’s episode of The Phil Vischer Podcast, Phil responds to criticism about his ukelele. The crew discusses “following your dreams,” the difference between our dreams and God’s dreams, and how dreams can easily become idols. They ask, “Is your treasure Christ or is your treasure what you hope to do for Christ?” Skye discusses why so many Christians fear insignificance, and how that affects our idolatry of dreams.

“As a Christian, the thing that we are to be consumed with – the vision of our life, the dream we have – is supposed to be God himself. He is the treasure that we would give up everything else to possess.” (Skye Jethani)
