ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, Kenny Barnwell and Shannon Thompson have an honest conversation about dreams, discernment, spiritual warnings, and the different ways God speaks to us.
The conversation begins with Kenny sharing an update about a new season of clarity, momentum, and courage around a major business vision he believes God has placed in front of him.
From there, the conversation turns toward dreams.
Kenny shares how reading the book of Daniel has stirred up thoughts about the way God speaks through dreams, visions, symbols, and interpretation.
Shannon shares a dream he once had about Kenny, and how, after prayer, he believed the dream connected to church hurt, anger, and the peace of Christ stopping Kenny in his tracks.
Kenny also shares two powerful dreams of his own, including one where he felt God revealed Himself through fire, smoke, and a roar, and another involving a small snake that grew until it filled a bathtub.
That leads into a deeper conversation about sin, spiritual vigilance, warnings from God, the enemy’s subtle attacks, and the danger of ignoring something small until it becomes something much harder to deal with.
Questions like:
- Does God still speak through dreams?
- How do we know if a dream means something?
- Should Christians seek dream interpretation?
- What can we learn from Daniel?
- Can God use dreams to warn us about sin?
- How do small compromises grow into bigger problems?
- How do we stay focused on Jesus when life feels full of requirements, pressure, and responsibility?
And more...
We do not pretend to have all the answers. This is a real conversation between two Christians trying to listen for God, stay close to Him, and walk with wisdom.
This episode is a reminder that God can speak in many ways.
Through His Word.
Through prayer.
Through music.
Through people.
Through dreams.
And through the quiet conviction of the Holy Spirit.
But no matter how He speaks, the foundation remains the same.
Keep your eyes on Jesus.
Stay close to Him.
And do not ignore the small things God is asking you to deal with.
