Ever felt like dreaming big would only lead to disappointment? I get it. In 2023, God gave me the word “pie” (yes, pie!) and taught me that dreaming isn’t something I’m meant to do alone. In this episode, I share how God reshaped my limiting beliefs, led me to write down 200 dreams, and made impossible things happen like playing The Ryman and writing a musical.
Your dreams are meant to be shared with God. He’s waiting to partner with you in your dreaming and living. Let this episode be your nudge to dream bigger and invite Him in.

Kayley 4.16 Video (00:00):
here I am, a music recording
(00:02):
artist living in Nashville,doing music professionally
for years at this point.
And I don't know how to dream.
And I was like, wow,Lord, you never meant or
wanted me to dream alone.
Hello everybody.
(00:23):
My name is Kayley Bishop.
I'm your Bible Bish podcasthost and I'm so glad that
you're tuning in today.
It's just me for a few minutes.
I just wanted to give yousome encouragement and I
wanted to talk about dreaming.
in 2023.
My word for the yearwas pie, and I know that
sounds kind of strange.
(00:44):
I don't know if you've everasked the Lord for a word
for the year, but it would.
It's been somethingthat I've done.
On the first of the year forthe last handful of years, in
this specific year, 2023, Godgave me the word pie and it
confused the heck outta me.
I was like, whatdo you mean, lord?
Like most times you'll give aword like strong, courageous
(01:05):
influence or whatever itis, but no, mine was pie,
literally like the food you eat.
And I remember, um, I was,I was in Texas when I got
this word, and so when I gothome I looked it up in the
prophetic and it said to dreambig, and I was like, oh my
goodness, the Lord is aboutto give me all my dreams.
(01:26):
This is gonna besuch a good year.
Well, six months go by and Irealized that I'm not getting
any of my dreams at all.
In fact, further I realizedthat I completely misunderstand,
stood the word pie andthe call to dream big.
It wasn't that I wasgonna get my dreams, it
was actually an action.
(01:46):
It was a call to actually dream.
And it was about July of 2023.
And I realized in that momentI did not know how to dream.
I mean, here I am, um,a music recording artist
living in Nashville,doing music professionally
for years at this point.
And I don't know how to dream.
(02:07):
It was just kind of likea shock to my system.
And, and in that I realizedI had a ton of limiting
beliefs, like, becauseif I dreamed really big.
Then I probably wasn'tgonna get it right.
I mean, my experience upuntil that point in 2023
had had showed me thatif I asked for something,
I wasn't gonna get it.
(02:27):
I mean, it goes back towhen I was five years
old wanting a Barbie car.
Like the big ones that youdrive around and I come down
the stairs Christmas morningand I did get a Barbie car,
but it wasn't the kind you,you sit in as a 5-year-old
and drive around the yard.
It was a baby one.
It was a tiny, like justa standard Barbie car.
And in that moment I knewthat I couldn't dream big
(02:49):
because if I dreamed big, Iwas just gonna be disappointed.
And I think.
That moment, that memory rightthere instilled a limiting
belief that I've carried mywhole life up until 2023.
So as I'm going throughthis, this call to action
to dream big, I'm preparingfor, um, a conference.
(03:10):
I'm, I'm going to thisspeaker conference where I'm
gonna learn how to publicspeak, get some tools, right?
Because I knew that God wasputting this on my plate and
going to be commissioningme to doing that kind of
operating in that kind of field.
And so as I'm at thisconference, this woman comes
up to me and she's one ofthe leaders, and she says,
Kayley, I don't know why,but the Lord is telling me
(03:30):
to tell you to dream big.
I'm like, wow, you justcannot make this up.
I was like, you don'teven know my life.
And wow, holy Spirit is speakingright through you right now.
This is so good.
And she says to me, youknow, the women that I, I
coach, I oftentimes willgive them a, a commission to
write down a hundred dreams.
And I said.
(03:51):
That is a lot.
And she goes, buthere's the thing.
I'm heal hearing the God, I'mhearing the Lord say to me, to
you that you need to double it.
And I was like.
Okay, let's go.
And, I mean, we'redeep into 2023.
This is September at this point,and I'm getting the commission
to write down 200 dreams.
I remember going homeand I didn't wanna do it.
I did not wannado any part of it.
(04:13):
When I finally sat down, Ithink I etched out like 30.
And I mean, we ran the gamut.
I, I was like, oh, Iwanna win a Grammy.
I wanna be thisand this and this.
Like any superficialfleshly like.
I don't know.
Standard dream, like when you'rea musician, what you dream for.
You dream for a Grammy, right?
(04:33):
I'm writing downall these things.
I wanna play the Rymanand I wanna do this.
I wanna go here, DA.
And, and at 30 I kindof ran outta steam.
I was like, I haveno more ideas.
And then I remember God wasjust like, why don't you
ask me what your dreams are?
And in that moment heinvited me in to actually
(04:54):
dreaming with him.
And he showed me that medreaming was never supposed
to be a solitary exercise.
It was always somethingthat I was supposed to
do with him in stride.
And he, and he took me toGenesis where Abraham is
standing and he's lookingout before all of Canaan and
God is right there with him.
(05:14):
And God says, look, from theeast to the west, you are gonna
be the father of many nations.
And I was like, wow,Lord, you never meant or
wanted me to dream alone.
You always wanted tohelp supply the dream.
And so when I had thatrevelation, I said,
okay, well we're justgonna pray into this now.
Like, I'm not gonna thinkabout grasping at earthly
(05:35):
dreams that I might have hadonce upon a time like, Lord,
I'm gonna invite you in.
And so he starts giving methese downloads and, and I
see God speaks to me throughpeace, through visions,
through all sorts of stuff.
And he's giving me all ofthese downloads about all
of these visions, and, andI'm going and I'm looking
'em up and I'm getting allthe symbology, all the def
(05:55):
definitions of all of them.
And I'm just like,my mind is blown.
He has given me themost beautiful visions.
And they are becomingthemes for my dreams.
And I'm overwhelmed athis goodness that he would
supply them in this way.
And, and what ended up happeningwas after a while, spending time
in this, not in one fell swoop.
(06:15):
'cause Lord knows I had toomany limiting beliefs to
be able to carry this out.
In one sitting, it was,it was like pulling teeth.
And even still, I'm notgonna lie, it's 2025.
I still didn't get to 200.
Y'all.
I think I'm probablyat 190 now.
I wrote a few more down,literally like two days ago.
And so, um, but what happenedwas as he's really working on
me, giving me the dreams, weactually get to this place where
(06:42):
I call it the secret petitionsof my heart, things that.
I did not even know that Iwanted, I got to the nucleus
of, and if you're like me andyou're a perfectionist, or maybe
you carry the limiting beliefsof like, God forbid I asked for
this and I don't get it, I'mjust gonna be left disappointed.
Lemme tell you like.
God's storehouse is soreplete with anything
(07:03):
you could ever want.
His will for you is to tobring you into a huge destiny.
A big destiny.
He wants your life to beginormous and um, and I know
that he's one of that forme, but it's, it's, we have
to partner with him in thatthis is not an isolated walk,
this thing that we call life.
This is something we're.
(07:24):
Supposed to do in relationshipwith him, and where we
are just natural people.
He is supernatural.
And so if you ever get tired ofyour humanity like I do every
day, you can just wake up andget with God and immediately
start to immerse yourself in thesupernatural and just watch what
comes together, what can unfold.
(07:46):
Because he is alwaysworking all things together
for the good of those wholove him, and I love him.
I have.
Tested his character.
I have learned who he is.
I have entrusted this littlething and this little thing
to see like, okay, God,you wanna show up for me?
Well, I'm gonnaask you to do this.
And then he did it.
And so little by littlerelationally, I'm building
(08:06):
trust with him and wherehe has been so trustworthy,
I just can't help but lovehim and in loving him.
Man, my life has just becomeso abundant and so fulfilled.
And so going back to 2023 withthe dream big, um, the, one
of the coolest things thathas happened since I wrote
down all of these dreams backin 23, around like the fall.
(08:31):
About nine months later, areally big one came true.
And I had written down thatI wanted to write a musical.
I have a musicaltheater background.
I went to Boston Conservatoryfor musical theater, and for
some reason I had this itch.
I'm like, oh, what ifI just wrote a musical?
What if I just randomly started?
Writing a musical, and aboutnine months after I wrote this
down in my dream journal, agentleman reached out to me,
(08:53):
and this is somebody that Imet through Recovery Church
in Nashville, which is whereI recorded my music video for.
Hold on honey.
If you wanna go watch it.
Go check it out.
It's on YouTube.
It's so fun.
It's my song.
Hold on.
Honey is all about triumph.
It's all about gettingthrough a hard thing and
persevering to the breakthrough.
And who better to understandthat concept than someone
walking through sobriety.
(09:13):
And so I partnered withRecovery Church because
you're not allowed totalk about Jesus in aa.
I don't know if any of y'allknow that, but they encourage
you to believe in a higherpower, but they that they
don't specify that it's Jesus.
But here at Recovery Church,which is a nationwide
organization, you can attendif you're walking through
sobriety and don't feelcomfortable walking into
church with all your baggage.
I get it.
I've been there too.
Um, I've never been addicted toanything, but Lord knows I've
(09:36):
had a lot of issues in my life.
You can listen to episode oneif you wanna find those out.
Um, but anyway, I walked intoRecovery Church and I met
this man named Mark who wasleading worship there and.
Lo and behold, he's theone that reaches out to
me to write this musical.
And little did I know, mark hasa musical theater background.
In fact, he wrote a,the Broadway music, or
(09:57):
he wrote music for aBroadway show back in 2018.
And so not only is Godsaying, hey, guess what?
Like this dream that you hadthat you just haphazardly
wrote down, I you hadthis itch or this nudge.
Well, guess what?
Like I'm bringing it to yourdoorstep nine months later.
And if you don't know howlong nine months is, that's.
The amount of gestationthat's a pregnancy.
And so God is reallypeculiar and amazing and and
(10:18):
mysterious in how he operates.
So, um, actually side note,if you're having dreams about
being pregnant, it's notnecessarily 'cause you're
pregnant, it's 'cause you'repregnant with an idea.
And I've had pregnanc or dreamsin the past and it's just
so funny how God operates.
He's like, you're aboutto birth something.
You're about tobirth something new.
And.
I just did not, it's justbeautiful how he works.
(10:40):
And all of this started fromthis word pie and, um, other
things that happened in 2023, Iended up recording this record.
I called it myDream Big campaign.
I. And I was like, okay, Lord,you know, I don't have the
money to make this record.
I'm gonna have tofinance it like we need.
I need money tocome in to do this.
And in my smallness I waslike, okay, well if I ask
(11:02):
for $20,000, that'll be okay.
Right?
Knowing full well that Iwas gonna need a lot more,
and if you're listeningin $20,000 I know is
like a huge sum of money.
Let that just be a testimonyto how expensive is.
How expensive it is tobe in the music industry.
It's so expensive to do this, torecord good high quality music,
(11:23):
to work with, really good pro,um, producers that understand
you sonically and care aboutyour music and your songs.
And I knew it was,it was not enough.
And when I finally relentedand said, Lord, how
much should I ask for?
He goes, pie.
And of course I'msitting here thinking.
Duh.
3.1 4 1 5 9 2 Infinity.
(11:45):
Yes, you're right.
I need to be askingfor 31,000, et cetera.
And so I did.
And the crazy thing is thatI'm, I ended up, I ended up
campaigning and getting 35.
I just like, he blows my mind.
And so then I had a listeningparty for all the people that
contributed to the campaign.
And I, I made pie likesweet pie, savory pie.
(12:07):
The chicken pot pie at Costco,by the way, is really good.
If he didn't know that really,really good, and it was just
beautiful how this word becamethe cornerstone for the entire
year, and it launched me intoa phase of my destiny that I
would not have entered intohad I not taken care of these
limiting beliefs and askedthe Lord to heal me from the
(12:28):
memories that wounded me andcaused me to dream smaller, to
think smaller, to live small.
And so.
I just, I wanna, I wanna shareall of this with y'all to
encourage you guys, and, andyou know, since writing down my
dreams, not only has the musicalbecome a thing, and at this
point in the stage, like we're,we're, we're outlining the show.
We've discoveredwhat our idea is.
We're really excitedabout the idea, and we've
(12:50):
already started writingsome of the music for it.
And it's just beautiful.
I can't.
Believe what God isdoing in my life.
It is crazy, and it's allbecause I just got out of
my way and I abided withhim and I decided to listen
to what he was saying.
And let me tell you, likethis adventure that I'm
going on is available to you.
It is available to you ifyou're living a monotonous
(13:12):
life that feels one dimensionaland stagnant, that is
not God's will for you.
It's just not all you haveto do is step in to abiding
with him, and he is going toreveal things to you that you
didn't even know you wanted.
He's going to lead you intothose secret petitions of
your heart that you didn'thave access to because you
(13:32):
were too busy or you weretoo limited in your thinking.
And so I hope thatthis encourages you.
And I guess to cap it off,there were a few other
dreams that he brought.
True that he, that came true.
As a result of this exercise,one of the things, things I
wrote down was I wanted to goto Iceland and lo and behold, I
was actually invited to Norwayto do a, a tour over there.
(13:55):
And as I was looking forflights, I discovered Iceland
Air, which if you live inNashville, Tennessee, they
are now operating out of BNA.
Go get on the flight, honey.
Anytime any place you go towith Iceland Air, they always
do Reykjavik as their stopover,which is the capital of Iceland.
And I was like, oh mygoodness, I can do, I can
take Iceland air to Norwayand I can stop in Reykjavik.
(14:17):
And before I knew it,I was going to Iceland.
I had this amazing trip.
I'm actually going back toIceland next week, which is
crazy 'cause again, I'm goingto Norway to do another tour and
stopping in Iceland on the way.
And it's just so much fun.
Um, and the other thing thatcame true was I did get to
play The Ryman auditorium.
(14:37):
I got to play it and I gotto sing and bellow out my
song, rewrite your story, andlet me tell you how thematic
that really was, because.
God totally hasrewritten my story.
I could never haveforeseen what God was
gonna be doing in my life.
And so all that to say, I justwant you to be encouraged to go
(14:59):
and dream and further go ask Godwhat your word of the year is.
I don't care what month it is.
It doesn't have to beJanuary 1st, y'all.
It is currently April.
Something that I'mfilming this podcast,
and it is never too late.
Go get your word for the year.
Go abide, go get quiet and lethim, let him sew into your life.
He's got an adventurewaiting for you and he
(15:21):
wants to disclose it to you.

down all of these dreams backin 23, around like the fall.
(08:31):
About nine months later, areally big one came true.
And I had written down thatI wanted to write a musical.
I have a musicaltheater background.
I went to Boston Conservatoryfor musical theater, and for
some reason I had this itch.
I'm like, oh, what ifI just wrote a musical?
What if I just randomly started?
Writing a musical, and aboutnine months after I wrote this
down in my dream journal, agentleman reached out to me,
(08:53):
and this is somebody that Imet through Recovery Church
in Nashville, which is whereI recorded my music video for.
Hold on honey.
If you wanna go watch it.
Go check it out.
It's on YouTube.
It's so fun.
It's my song.
Hold on.
Honey is all about triumph.
It's all about gettingthrough a hard thing and
persevering to the breakthrough.
And who better to understandthat concept than someone
walking through sobriety.
(09:13):
And so I partnered withRecovery Church because
you're not allowed totalk about Jesus in aa.
I don't know if any of y'allknow that, but they encourage
you to believe in a higherpower, but they that they
don't specify that it's Jesus.
But here at Recovery Church,which is a nationwide
organization, you can attendif you're walking through
sobriety and don't feelcomfortable walking into
church with all your baggage.
I get it.
I've been there too.
Um, I've never been addicted toanything, but Lord knows I've
(09:36):
had a lot of issues in my life.
You can listen to episode oneif you wanna find those out.
Um, but anyway, I walked intoRecovery Church and I met
this man named Mark who wasleading worship there and.
Lo and behold, he's theone that reaches out to
me to write this musical.
And little did I know, mark hasa musical theater background.
In fact, he wrote a,the Broadway music, or
(09:57):
he wrote music for aBroadway show back in 2018.
And so not only is Godsaying, hey, guess what?
Like this dream that you hadthat you just haphazardly
wrote down, I you hadthis itch or this nudge.
Well, guess what?
Like I'm bringing it to yourdoorstep nine months later.
And if you don't know howlong nine months is, that's.
The amount of gestationthat's a pregnancy.
And so God is reallypeculiar and amazing and and
(10:18):
mysterious in how he operates.
So, um, actually side note,if you're having dreams about
being pregnant, it's notnecessarily 'cause you're
pregnant, it's 'cause you'repregnant with an idea.
And I've had pregnanc or dreamsin the past and it's just
so funny how God operates.
He's like, you're aboutto birth something.
You're about tobirth something new.
And.
I just did not, it's justbeautiful how he works.
(10:40):
And all of this started fromthis word pie and, um, other
things that happened in 2023, Iended up recording this record.
I called it myDream Big campaign.
I. And I was like, okay, Lord,you know, I don't have the
money to make this record.
I'm gonna have tofinance it like we need.
I need money tocome in to do this.
And in my smallness I waslike, okay, well if I ask
(11:02):
for $20,000, that'll be okay.
Right?
Knowing full well that Iwas gonna need a lot more,
and if you're listeningin $20,000 I know is
like a huge sum of money.
Let that just be a testimonyto how expensive is.
How expensive it is tobe in the music industry.
It's so expensive to do this, torecord good high quality music,
(11:23):
to work with, really good pro,um, producers that understand
you sonically and care aboutyour music and your songs.
And I knew it was,it was not enough.
And when I finally relentedand said, Lord, how
much should I ask for?
He goes, pie.
And of course I'msitting here thinking.
Duh.
3.1 4 1 5 9 2 Infinity.
(11:45):
Yes, you're right.
I need to be askingfor 31,000, et cetera.
And so I did.
And the crazy thing is thatI'm, I ended up, I ended up
campaigning and getting 35.
I just like, he blows my mind.
And so then I had a listeningparty for all the people that
contributed to the campaign.
And I, I made pie likesweet pie, savory pie.
(12:07):
The chicken pot pie at Costco,by the way, is really good.
If he didn't know that really,really good, and it was just
beautiful how this word becamethe cornerstone for the entire
year, and it launched me intoa phase of my destiny that I
would not have entered intohad I not taken care of these
limiting beliefs and askedthe Lord to heal me from the
(12:28):
memories that wounded me andcaused me to dream smaller, to
think smaller, to live small.
And so.
I just, I wanna, I wanna shareall of this with y'all to
encourage you guys, and, andyou know, since writing down my
dreams, not only has the musicalbecome a thing, and at this
point in the stage, like we're,we're, we're outlining the show.
We've discoveredwhat our idea is.
We're really excitedabout the idea, and we've
(12:50):
already started writingsome of the music for it.
And it's just beautiful.
I can't.
Believe what God isdoing in my life.
It is crazy, and it's allbecause I just got out of
my way and I abided withhim and I decided to listen
to what he was saying.
And let me tell you, likethis adventure that I'm
going on is available to you.
It is available to you ifyou're living a monotonous
(13:12):
life that feels one dimensionaland stagnant, that is
not God's will for you.
It's just not all you haveto do is step in to abiding
with him, and he is going toreveal things to you that you
didn't even know you wanted.
He's going to lead you intothose secret petitions of
your heart that you didn'thave access to because you
(13:32):
were too busy or you weretoo limited in your thinking.
And so I hope thatthis encourages you.
And I guess to cap it off,there were a few other
dreams that he brought.
True that he, that came true.
As a result of this exercise,one of the things, things I
wrote down was I wanted to goto Iceland and lo and behold, I
was actually invited to Norwayto do a, a tour over there.
(13:55):
And as I was looking forflights, I discovered Iceland
Air, which if you live inNashville, Tennessee, they
are now operating out of BNA.
Go get on the flight, honey.
Anytime any place you go towith Iceland Air, they always
do Reykjavik as their stopover,which is the capital of Iceland.
And I was like, oh mygoodness, I can do, I can
take Iceland air to Norwayand I can stop in Reykjavik.
(14:17):
And before I knew it,I was going to Iceland.
I had this amazing trip.
I'm actually going back toIceland next week, which is
crazy 'cause again, I'm goingto Norway to do another tour and
stopping in Iceland on the way.
And it's just so much fun.
Um, and the other thing thatcame true was I did get to
play The Ryman auditorium.
(14:37):
I got to play it and I gotto sing and bellow out my
song, rewrite your story, andlet me tell you how thematic
that really was, because.
God totally hasrewritten my story.
I could never haveforeseen what God was
gonna be doing in my life.
And so all that to say, I justwant you to be encouraged to go
(14:59):
and dream and further go ask Godwhat your word of the year is.
I don't care what month it is.
It doesn't have to beJanuary 1st, y'all.
It is currently April.
Something that I'mfilming this podcast,
and it is never too late.
Go get your word for the year.
Go abide, go get quiet and lethim, let him sew into your life.
He's got an adventurewaiting for you and he
(15:21):
wants to disclose it to you.
And so with that being said.

testimonies because this isfuel to my fire and it's fuel
(15:43):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
