Summary

What if the greatest breakthrough God has for you this year isn't about what He'll give you, but who He's transforming you to become? You know how we all get caught up in making these big plans for the new year, especially when we feel God has promised us something? Well, I've been wrestling with a different perspective that I think could change everything about how we approach 2025. Instead of just focusing on what I believe God's going to give me this year, I'm diving into something deeper - how God is actually more interested in who He's shaping us to become. In this episode, I break down three practices that have been game-changers in my own walk with God and will be the reason this will be your best year. 2025 is about committing to who God is calling us to be not just what he can give to us. I speak to how we can focus on seeking God's heart not just his hand. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:41.3	And I've even been challenging myself this year to shift my perspective from what I believe God is going to give to me to focus on what he's actually calling me to be.
0:49.9	So I'm feeling really pushed to, yes, write down my plans, have concrete objectives and clear
0:56.5	goals, but also asking myself, am I committed to becoming a person who will actually be able to
1:01.8	achieve them? Because if there's anything that I've learned, really, in my walk with Jesus
1:06.6	and over the past few years, it's the fact that he is more committed to the work he does in me than the
1:12.2	work that I can do for him or anything else that he could give me. So in this conversation, I really
