In this episode, Mike and Alicia reflect on the importance of having a dream for your family that goes beyond survival mode and day-to-day busyness. Drawing inspiration from the film Field of Dreams, they explore how couples can discern God\u2019s vision for their home, create a legacy of love, and take bold, countercultural steps together. Whether you\u2019re just starting out or sending kids off to college, this conversation will encourage you to pray, dream, and act with faith that \u201cif you build it, HE will come.\u201d&amp;nbsp; Key Takeaways Legacy Matters: We inherit patterns from our families of origin, but we can choose what to keep, redeem, or leave behind. Dream Beyond Today: God calls us to think not just about survival, but about a vision that shapes generations.&amp;nbsp; Unity in Marriage: A shared dream unites spouses, strengthens families, and becomes a witness to others. God Provides the Tools: He uses the gifts, circumstances, and desires already present in your life to shape His vision for your family. Practical Step: Pray together, journal your inspirations, and start with simple habits that align with your family\u2019s God-given dream.&amp;nbsp; Couple Discussion Questions What legacies from your families of origin do you want to keep\u2014and which ones do you want to leave behind?
