Episode 20: New Goals, Fresh Grace, Same Us Jan 02, 2024

Show notes

We love the New Year and love goal setting, but we love the gospel and grace more. So we’ve got to let the Good News of Jesus be the banner over any new year and we can’t keep pretending that a self-help equation of striving will keep us from needing Jesus. It’s a new year, there’s fresh grace, and we can even set new goals - but let’s not pretend we need to be or can be completely different people to step into what God has for us in 2024.

This podcast is for you. It’s not my podcast, it’s ours. It’s for people who crave light-hearted conversations and deeply spiritual truths. It’s for those of us who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming, working, or praying about what’s next.
