I’m Saved… Now What?
You’ve given your life to Jesus… but what comes next? Do you have to write a book, start a ministry, or figure out a 10-year plan? Or could it be simpler — and deeper — than that?
In the very first episode of Season 5 of Dreamers to Doers, Sarah Birkbeck and the Refresh team gather around the kitchen table in Waco to wrestle with the question: You’re saved… now what? Their answer is rooted in James 1:22–25 — be not just a hearer of the Word, but a doer.
Core Insights from the Conversation
Identity begins in the Word. Scripture is the mirror that shows us who God says we are.
Comparison disqualifies. We often measure ourselves against others’ callings, but true obedience starts with intimacy, not imitation.
Small obedience matters. Ministry doesn’t always look like platforms; sometimes it looks like seven girls in a living room Bible study.
Sanctification + service happen together. God doesn’t wait until we’re “perfect” to use us. He shapes us as we serve.
Practical Takeaways
Spend time daily in the Word — even if it’s one verse internalized deeply.
Ask God what obedience looks like in your season, not someone else’s.
Guard your focus: fast from distractions that keep you from intimacy.
Look for one small, simple act of obedience this week.
Remember: salvation leads to service, but service flows from intimacy.
✨ Doers Challenge
Turn on the song “Known by You” by Gateway Worship. As you listen, ask the Lord to show you who He says you are and what He has created you for. Write down whatever He brings to your heart.

We’d love to hear from you! What did God reveal to you while listening to “Known by You” or during your journaling time this week? Share your reflections in the comments — your story might be the encouragement someone else needs.
Closing Encouragement
You don’t need perfection to begin — you simply need presence. Stay close to Jesus, let His Word be your mirror, and take the next step He places before you. That’s how dreamers become doers.
