Foundshop is an online vintage resale shop for affordable, sustainable and ethical clothing. Founder, Rebekah Twinem, shares in this episode what God has taught her in starting up her shop—first and foremost that her dreams are not too frivolous.
You’ll learn what lights her fire about this work, especially the impact of our shopping dollars on other people and the environment. With her gentle, soft-spoken (and non-judgmental) spirit she shares her calling to consider and not just consume, to find ways to consume less, or differently, or to do so with a greater awareness.
She also uncovers probably the most important thing about our God-shaped dreams that can be easily forgotten when you’re facing a challenge or a very real fear—that God’s going use this dream to deepen your connection with Him. She gives us a beautiful reminder of His longing to be close to His children, regardless of our failure or success.
Rebekah is also a wife, mama, and an encourager at heart. Her dream for Foundshop was born out of a love for vintage clothing and a deep concern for people and the planet. It is her mission to spread the word about fair fashion that respects the people who make our clothing and the Earth, without sacrificing beautiful style.
Maybe you’ve been questioning the significance of your dream or maybe that questioning has led you to totally put that dream aside. If that’s you, I hope Rebekah’s story encourages you to consider all the ways God might use your “insignificant” dream, desire or passion for His Kingdom and your good.
