The role of Christian testimony is often misunderstood. Testimony is often seen by others as merely the story of the person testifying. But it is really the telling of a part of that person's life within the framework of the larger story of how what God made has been brought back together with its creator, the greater story of the good news, and of the gathering of believers which that good news created. Each testimony is an open face-to-face version of what is actually.

In the first part of this series of Living the Dream, I challenge the listener to dream. This means I am actively encouraging you to be intentional, purposeful, and decisive about the act of dreaming. Rick Warren has put this beautifully in his Time to Dream: Trusting God to Open Doors when he said our dreams define, identify, and energize us. Great and good dreams determine who we are. In life, there are times when we find we are either gifted to do certain things or we may be drawn to, interested in, or called to do.

In Dream On, I help the listener to recognize some important things that characterize a good dreamer, and used Joseph as our example. Here, I discuss Joseph`s dream, encouraging the listener to dream yet another dream, upgrade your dream, focus on your dream, and draw lessons from Joseph`s dream.
