A Conversation of Faith, Hope, and Purpose:
In a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, stories of faith and perseverance remind us of the divine purpose woven into our lives. Recently, I had the privilege of listening to an inspiring conversation between Sarah Rose and her guest, Bobbi Dupertuis—a woman whose journey of faith, resilience, and service is nothing short of extraordinary.
A Journey Rooted in Faith and Dreaming Big
Bobbi's story begins behind the rodeo chutes, where she served as a medic caring for cowboys and praying for their safety. Her deep love for the Lord and her passion for sharing His word led her to dream of establishing a cowboy church—a vision that persisted for over twenty years. That dream became a reality in 2024, when God provided a house with a barn and arena, symbolizing His faithfulness and the fulfillment of long-held hopes. Her journey isn’t just about physical spaces; it’s about spiritual revival. Bobbi envisions her ministry as a place where live nativity scenes, Easter celebrations, petting zoos, and community outreach can bring people closer to Christ. Her story exemplifies how faith, patience, and perseverance can turn dreams into divine appointments.
The Woman at the Well: A Reflection of Grace
One of the most powerful moments in her conversation was when Bobbi shared the story of the woman at the well—a story that resonates deeply with many of us. Despite her past mistakes and feelings of unworthiness, Jesus sought her out, offering living water and the promise of redemption. Bobbi sees herself in that story, emphasizing that no one is beyond God's reach. Her message: "Jesus comes out of His way for that one person." It’s a reminder that each of us is precious in His sight, regardless of our history or struggles. We are all invited to sit at His well, receive His grace, and go forth to sin no more.
Living Daily in God's Word and Presence
Bobbi’s daily walk with God is a testament to the intimacy and ongoing conversation she has with the Lord. She’s writing a book—"Crossing Over"—that captures her journey of trusting God through seasons of dryness, elevation, and divine purpose. Her reflections on trusting God, waiting on His timing, and recognizing His hand in every detail inspire us to seek Him intentionally. Her stories from ministering in hospice and hospital rooms reveal the peace and hope that come from trusting in God's promises. Whether it's comforting families, witnessing salvations, or sharing Scriptures, Bobbi exemplifies how living in God's Word transforms lives—ours included.
Encouragement to Never Give Up
Throughout the conversation, Bobbi emphasizes a vital truth: "The only failure is if you give up." Her life—marked by ups and downs, loss, healing, and revival—is a testament to that. She encourages us all to hold on, lean into God's promises, and remain faithful in our journey. Her example teaches us that even in seasons of dryness or struggle, God's plan is still unfolding. With patience, obedience, and faith, we can cross over into the abundant life He has prepared for us.
A Call to Relationship
What stood out most in this conversation was the emphasis on relationship with Jesus—listening, waiting, and trusting His nudges. Whether it's quiet time on a horse, a moment in prayer, or a simple act of kindness, God desires to walk with us daily. Bobbi’s story reminds us that God is patient, hand-feeding us scriptures and revelations tailored to our unique paths. He is not in a rush; He is in love with us and eager to use us for His glory.
Closing Prayer and Reflection
As the conversation drew to a close, Sarah Rose asked Bobbi to pray. The prayer was a beautiful expression of gratitude, divine purpose, and hope. It reminded us that we are loved unconditionally and that the best is yet to come. So today, I encourage you: Seek that quiet place, listen for His voice, and trust that He has a divine plan for your life. You matter to God—more than words can express—and He longs to reveal His purpose through you.
Love, Faith, and the Journey Ahead
Let Bobbi’s story inspire you to keep dreaming, praying, and moving forward. No matter your past or current season, God's grace is sufficient. His promises are true. And the greatest adventure begins when we say, "Yes, Lord, send me."
