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. Let’s Go.  Don’t Miss: The only goal-setting and growth guide you’ll need this year!

It’s for those of us who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming, working, or praying about what’s next. It’s funny that we corporately get so excited about the holidays and at the same time, we corporately talk about how crazy we felt during them once they’re over. We post a million memes about Mariah Carey in October, and then we all post the same meme the week after Christmas about how confused we are. We join in on the narrative of joy and celebration, but we also join in on the preset narrative about how this season leaves us feeling.  If this resonates with you, this episode is for you. Join Jess on this episode as she shares 4 things to say no to during the holiday season and 4 things to say yes to.
