Summary

Kelly Minter followed her dreams to Nashville to pursue a career in music. After years of highs and lows as an artist (mostly lows), Kelly had the opportunity to switch fields and write her first Bible study with LifeWay Publishers. 

Kelly shares with us about how in the midst of disappointment and unfulfilled dreams, she has found God faithful to continue writing her story. One of her first studies centered on the life of Joseph, a man who also had dreams that weren’t fulfilled the way he expected.

“Suffering made Joseph fit for the dreams that God had for him. Those dreams were birthed and they were going to happen. But it was the hard, difficult process that made Joseph ready and able for those dreams. Because a lot of humbling had to happen, a lot of faith had to be forged, a lot of obedience had to be built and a lot had to happen for Joseph to be ready for that.”

Now an established author and speaker, Kelly has a gorgeous new cookbook out focused on accessible recipes to inspire your cooking and stories about building community around the table.

I wrote this Bible study on the life of Joseph called Finding God Faithful.

0:31.5

And one of the things that I say in there is that suffering made Joseph fit for the dreams

that God had for him. So God had those dreams. They were birthed and sourced in him and they

were going to happen. But it was a hard difficult process that made Joseph fit, ready, able

for those dreams. Because a lot of humbling had to happen, a lot of faith had to be forged,

a lot of obedience had to be built and a lot had to happen for Joseph to be ready for that.

Kelly Mentor is the author of several Bible studies, including one of my favorites,

no other gods. She's also authored a new study finding God Faithful, which focuses on the life

of Joseph. So I know this conversation will be an encouragement if you are in a place of suffering.

1:20.9

If you're wondering if God has forgotten you, if you have set aside dreams, we know that Joseph

1:28.4

allowed the suffering he experienced to only prepare him for the dreams God had for him.

1:34.3

That even though he left the quote-unquote promised land, God's presence went with him.

I think you'll be encouraged by Kelly's story as she set aside her dreams and found God to be even
