I had a dream that I had been asked to speak somewhere. I think it was at a Christian conference or something. I was looking at a gps map at how to get there and somehow I saw Steven Furtick and his wife Holly. I looked at the map and realized they were going to almost the same area as me so I asked Steven for a ride. He agreed and I got in their older minivan and sat behind him. His wife was in the back sitting next to me. We each had our own bucket seat and then there was a bench seat behind us. Holly and I talked for a while. I remember her eyes being so beautiful, she was so genuine when she talked with me. I was a little nervous about speaking the next day I remember thinking about it on and off while traveling to our destination. I think I remember Steven talking to me too a little bit but don’t remember what we talked about. All the sudden their daughter was in the car. She had colorful marks or smudges on her face from what looked like doing some sort of kids craft or artwork. She was really sweet when she talked to me although I don’t know what we talked about.
Somehow along the way Josh (my husband) joined us and was surprised and excited to see who I was with. Eventually when we arrived where we were going Steven asked if I would speak at their church the next morning. I’m pretty sure I said yes and then he told me I’d be speaking first before this other guy and said I should be there around 5:45 am. I wanted to give him some gas money for the ride and I thought around $50 would be good, it didnt seem to be that long of a ride a couple of hours at most. I went through my purse and found the cash I think I had closer to 46 or 49. I put the cash in his cup holder I think.
I was with Josh and my Mom now. We were roaming around a store for a while to get a few things for some reason it felt like this old Walgreens that used to be in the town I grew up in but hasn’t been there for a long time. But it also felt like a target. We walked around the store for a while I don’t remember what we were there for exactly but I remember thinking ok we need to get going I want to work on what I’d be speaking on. I remember I was thinking about the intro and how I would introduce myself, trying to think of some funny things to say about myself and where I grew up before I got into whatever it was I was I’d be speaking on.
I remember getting to the lobby of our hotel and being on the stage at elevation the next day but that’s about all I remember before waking up. Emotions in this dream were excited and nervous and maybe slightly anxious when i was ready to leave the store. Colors were normal.
@rebecca.l.nickel Please forgive my delayed response. We were already behind and then I got sick and ended up in the hospital and then home and off my feet for most of March.
@Sunny and @eternalcomics have done a good job here, but I would point out one important thing. This dream is indicating that God is surrounding you and preparing you, but don't forget that a pastoral anointing (or teaching or ministry in some other way that might be more clear to you outside the dream) does not always look the way we expect it to and does not have to follow "Christian stereotypes". Let this calling become what God makes it and not what you or others think it should be. You are currently in a place of transition into the next season for you life and while you have something to give, this is also a time to allow others to help you prepare for that next step.

@ sunny , good interpretation, I would only add a specific element in the dream that may help the dreamer come into alignment with their calling.
@ rebecca.l.nickel, God is imparting significant peace into your life as your grow in the pastoral anointing.

I believe this dream is saying that you are in a season of preparation for preaching, and God is going to provide you with people who will encourage you and take you on their wings to get to where God has favored you to be in the near future. You also want to do well and be creative in your preaching/public speaking ministry, and your preaching will elevate/uplifting for others. You will reach to the platform God has graced you for.
Hope it helps!
