Stop Playing Small: How to Think Bigger and Go After What You Want

Let’s get honest about a lie holding too many of us back. Somewhere along the way, we picked up this false idea that humility means shrinking, that dreaming big somehow makes us prideful. But here’s the truth—thinking bigger isn’t prideful, it’s faithful.

Playing small doesn’t honor God. Stewarding your gifts—that’s what glorifies Him. So today, we’re tearing down the lie that safe and small equals holy. We’re stepping into the dreams deep in your heart—the ones so bold and beautiful, you almost feel guilty for wanting them. The ones that whisper, “Who do you think you are?”

Here’s the answer: You are His. And it’s time to trust Him enough to dream bigger.
