2025 is here – and with it, a chance to posture our hearts and minds to listen to the still, small voice of God. God’s truth transcends political rhetoric. It’s nothing like the “hope and change” that the political world offers. God’s hope defies the headlines and points our hearts to something bigger than this temporary life we are living. Today, I’ll give you five truths that can transform your heart in 2025—starting with a commitment to reading God’s Word.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the talk of New Year’s resolutions, words of the year, annual goal setting, and more as we turn another page on our calendar. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that, but sometimes it brings a heaviness and guilt instead of motivation. It’s okay to just stay focused on doing the next thing. Obedience to God's commandments leads to blessings, peace, and a deeper relationship with Him. Let’s talk about the challenges of obedience, the cost of disobedience, and the role prayer plays in our walk with the Lord. Join me to learn how to trust in God's timing and to cultivate a life of long obedience as you enter the new year. Not Consumed: Helping your family grow in faith so you are Not Consumed by life.
