About this listen
Christian speaker and Bible teacher Wade Joye pushes back against the dominant self-help teaching of the day—to follow your dreams—and encourages us to let go and surrender our lives to God in order to truly live.
“Follow your dreams” is the self-help message of our day. In our schools and universities, media, and culture, and even in church, we are taught to dream big, work hard, and find true happiness in living our dreams. And so we spend our lives chasing.But as we chase our dreams, we can be met with exhaustion, anxiety, and disappointment. Our circumstances may put our dreams in jeopardy, or even deny them—and we’re heartbroken. Or we achieve them and just want more.
Wade Joye offers here a different way. Release your grip on your dreams and trust God with your whole life.
Joye shows that by letting go we are freed from the pressure to secure some ideal, unattainable life, and instead become open to God and his plans. Living a life of daily surrender to God’s purpose we begin to see glimpses of God in our present circumstance, as he shows us that he, more than anyone, can be trusted.
With deep wisdom, frank teaching, and a pastor’s heart, Wade guides readers step-by-step to the place of letting go, the place where we find real life.

Critic reviews
"This Dream Is Not For You by Wade Joye is a powerful book filled with vulnerability, insightful reflections, and honest encouragement. Having known Wade for over 15 years, I’ve watched him continue to lay down his dreams in order to trust God’s plan. Whether you’ve been struggling with a dead dream or waiting on a dream to be fulfilled, this book is for you!"—Steven Furtick, Lead Pastor of Elevation Church and New York Times best-selling author of Crash the Chatterbox, Greater, and (Un)Qualified
"This book is full of wisdom and help for those of us whose big dreams don't match the disappointing realities we see in front of us. I'm grateful for how Wade leads us into a better way of thinking as we learn to surrender our hopes and dreams into God's trustworthy hands. If you're a big dreamer like myself, this is the encouragement you're looking for!"—Lysa TerKeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries
"In a culture obsessed with 'living the dream' this book is a needed wake up call. Validating the starry-eyed dreamer and simultaneously challenging us to be rooted disciples, this book offers a framework for navigating the tension between desperately striving, and carrying your cross as a disciple who has peacefully surrendered everything—including your dreams—to Jesus. Wherever you are at when it comes to living God’s dream for your life, this book will encourage and equip you."—Levi Lusko, Founder and Lead Pastor of Fresh Life Church
"Everyone needs to read this book! Wade Joye does a masterful job of practically unpacking the biblical truth that God wants you to dream, but to dream fully surrendered and open to His perfect plan for your life. If you’ve ever had a dream die and felt abandoned by God or just confused about what’s next, this will help!"—Graham Cochrane, author of How To Get Paid For What You Know
"In the 15+ years I’ve known Wade, he’s been a constant example of what living an open-handed, God-surrendered life looks like. These pages are filled with relatable humanity, while also being both confrontational and encouraging. For anyone who’s wrestled to decipher your own dreams with God’s best for your life, this book is for you."—Chris Brown, Worship Leader and Songwriter for Elevation Worship
