Dreamers To Doers
36. I'm Saved, Now What?
Season 5 starts at the kitchen table in Waco with a question many of us feel but rarely say out loud. You’re saved. Now what. In this first episode, Sarah Birkbeck and the Dreamers To Doers team talk about becoming doers of the Word in everyday life. We look at James 1:22–25, how identity is formed by beholding God’s Word, and why intimacy with Jesus fuels sustainable action.

You will learn practical ways to hear God's voice for your next step, how to resist the temptation of comparison and performance, and why consistent small obedience can shape a life of impact. We dig into discipleship, community, and how to protect focus in a distracted world. We also discuss special needs parenting, stewardship of vision, and the freedom of serving while God continues to sanctify your heart.

What we explore: 
  • How to move from hearing to doing without chasing perfection
  • Why identity in Scripture is the mirror that clarifies calling
  • Simple practices that increase sensitivity to God’s voice
  • How to start with small, faithful steps that fit your season
  • The role of discipleship, fasting, and community in staying grounded
Doers Challenge: Play “Known by You” by Gateway Worship. While the song plays, ask the Lord to reveal who He says you are and what He has created you for. Write down what He speaks to your heart and keep it somewhere you will see this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Avi4sMPQqzI

In this off-the-cuff, laugh-filled, deeply honest conversation, host Sarah Birkbeck sits down with the entire Refresh team for a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to lead, serve, and show up in ministry. No notes, no script—just real talk.

From navigating self-doubt and spiritual intimidation to confronting lies like “I’m just here to fill a diversity quota” or “I’m not enough to lead,” this episode peels back the curtain on the messy, beautiful, and sacred journey of becoming who God has called us to be.

You’ll hear:
  • The truth behind team dynamics and friendship in ministry  
  • Stories that will make you laugh out loud (we’re looking at you, car wash + nail salon)  
  • Powerful moments of confession, grace, and growth  
  • Why health, humility, and a secure identity in Christ are the foundation of strong teams


If you’ve ever felt on the outside of community, battled imposter syndrome, or wondered how to lead without a seminary degree or perfect circumstances—this one is for you.

We pray it encourages you to show up, just as you are, and start building the kind of life-giving, Kingdom-impacting community you were made for.

🎙️ Grab a seat at the table. It’s time to get real.

By sharing our own stories of overcoming these internal struggles, we shine a light on how embracing our imperfections can lead to genuine personal growth and liberation. Get ready to rethink the nature of pride and discover the path to true freedom.

26. Calling vs. Ambition: A Table Talk Series
Welcome to a brand-new season of the Dreamers to Doers Podcast! This season, we’re introducing the Table Talk series—real, raw, and unfiltered conversations that mirror the life-changing moments that happen around the table at Refresh events.

In this kickoff episode, host Sarah Birkbeck sits down with Carolina Flores, Taylor Quintini, and Pastor Colleen Rouse to dive into a conversation that so many of us wrestle with: *What’s the difference between calling and ambition?

We live in a culture that glorifies hustle, self-promotion, and performance—but is ambition inherently bad? Is it possible to be both ambitious and surrendered to God’s calling? Together, we unpack:
✨ The fine line between drive and divine purpose
✨ How to check the motives of your heart when pursuing success
✨ The difference between a flesh-driven mindset vs. a Spirit-led one
✨ Why commitment, not ambition, leads to a lasting impact

Through honest and vulnerable stories, we challenge the worldly definition of success and explore what it means to truly step into the role God has for us. If you've ever struggled with imposter syndrome, burnout, or fear of being perceived as too much, this conversation is for you. 

Grab your coffee, find a cozy spot, and tune in as we kick off a season of deep, authentic, and transformational conversations.

Dreamers To Doers
17. All Things Refresh '25 with Taylor Angulo
Opening up season 3 recording from Orlando, Florida, I couldn't help but reflect on how far we've come since season one. Back then, the nerves were real, but the steadfast support from friends and producers carried me through. This season, I'm thrilled to share inspiring stories that have personally touched my heart and made a significant impact on our podcast journey. Moreover, I'm excited to introduce the Refresh ministry with my dear friend Taylor Angulo, a movement by women for women, aiming to empower women to reach their full potential within the kingdom of God.

Our journey from dreamers to doers has been nothing short of transformative, highlighted by a pivotal trip to Tucson, Arizona, where the vision for Refresh truly took shape. Taylor and I have navigated the delicate dance between creativity and orderliness, discovering that stepping out of our comfort zones is where growth thrives. An ordinary airplane ride unexpectedly sharpened our focus, giving rise to our empowering tagline, "Awaken Dreams, Activate Leaders." This mantra now serves as a guiding light in our mission to foster empowerment and leadership among women.

Building something meaningful takes time, and this episode shines a light on the annual Refresh event, which is at the core of our ministry. We invite you to join us for the 2025 event, themed "Jars of Clay," where the aim is to create a deep, personal connection to the Lord in a uniquely intimate setting. Our vision is to activate leaders who will carry the kingdom's message into their communities, cultivating personal growth and a renewed sense of identity in God. Celebrating the joys and challenges of collaboration, I express heartfelt gratitude for the incredible contributions of Sarah and Taylor, looking forward to the profound impact our collective efforts will continue to make.
