Follow Camp Wojtyla on IG Mari Wagner sits down with Annie Powell, founder of Camp Wojtyla, a Catholic wilderness adventure camp in the Colorado mountains, to talk about dreaming with God and trusting Him step by step. Annie shares how, at 15, she felt called to bring people to Jesus through creation in a summer-camp setting, and how that dream was shaped through college, FOCUS, and many “switchbacks” of closed doors before Camp Tiwa launched. They discuss fear of disappointment, discerning whether a dream is from the Lord, practical ways to move from vision to action, and how God can fulfill dreams differently than expected. The episode closes with encouragement to pursue sainthood in ordinary life through daily faithfulness rather than perfectionism. 00:00 Meet Annie Powell 05:47 Dreaming Camp Wojtyla 10:11 Handling Doubts 11:25 Discernment Advice 19:52 Switchbacks and Closed Doors 21:54 Dreams Versus Gods Plan 25:45 Prayer Answers and Surrender 26:59 Learning Through Redirection 28:29 Making Dreams Practical 33:24 Dreaming of Sainthood 34:33 Holiness Not Perfection 38:58 Daughterhood and Gods Gaze ------ Episode Sponsors: Learn more about Camp Wojtyla!
