My Dreams are Not For Sale

About this episode

Dr. Mark Rutland discusses the significance of nurturing and holding onto the dreams God places within us, using personal experiences and biblical references.

In this episode of The Leader’s Notebook (Ep. 311), I explore the power and persistence of the dreams God places within us. From Genesis 37, we see Joseph’s dreams challenged, misunderstood, and opposed—even by family—yet God’s plan moved forward in His timing. Dreams from God are not for sale; they are gifts to nurture, share, and hold fast to, even when life takes us through pits, prisons, or unexpected detours. I share personal stories from my own journey, from schooldays to university leadership, and the impact of encouragers who helped dreams flourish. This message will inspire you to trust God’s timing, hold tightly to your vision, and embrace the adventure of seeing God bring your dreams to life in ways beyond imagination. – Dr. Mark Rutland
