Dare to Dream Leadership Consulting Curriculum
Dare to Dream Leadership Consulting Curriculum – A Systematic Development Program
James E. Owens Sr. | 2022
Abstract
This project is a curriculum based on my many years as a Gospel preacher for well over 30 years, served within the United States Army as a Sr. Non-Commissioned Officer for over 21 years, a father and husband for over 32 years. It is my passion and life’s calling to inspire, educate, and by practical application show the world that their dreams can become a reality!
Dreams are given and inspired by God. The Bible tells us, “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions” (Joel 2:28; NIV). God actively speaks to us through our dreams and these dreams have scriptural meaning for our lives in order that we might discern God’s will and walk them out. God spoke to Joseph in a dream (Gen. 37:1-44); Jacob sees angels ascending and descending on a ladder between earth and heaven (Gen. 28:12); an angel tells Joseph the carpenter not to divorce Mary; her child is the Savior (Matt. 1:18-24). God uses our dreams and visions to bring instruction. God not only opens our ears, but also seals instruction through our dreams so that we are notified of our faults, counseled in the wrong direction, and given instruction on the best ways to move forward from the current circumstances that you are into a life filled with purpose and destiny!
In short, the Old Testament Prophet Jeremiah makes all simplistic into one sentence according to Jerimiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (NKJV). In closing, it is within this manuscript curriculum that students, professors, businessmen, mothers, fathers, and people from all walks of life, can use what has been developed within these pages to endeavor to accomplish the unthinkable, to achieve the insurmountable, goliath challenges that come in the form of “A God-Given Dream!”
