Happy 2026! We’re kicking off the new year a little sleepy (post-teen retreat recovery is real), but very excited to help you live, work, and play with purpose in the first full week of January. In this episode of the City on Purpose Podcast, we round up fun things happening around town—from Geek Night Trivia and Music Bingo to Fernbank After Dark, January’s Pack the Cathedral, Mass & Lunch, and a free High Museum Sunday. Our Featured Find is the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, the perfect reset spot for fresh air, quiet walks, and starting the year grounded (without leaving the city). We also share new job and volunteer opportunities, including a shared nanny position and a mission-driven remote role with Patris Corde Hermitage. Plus, we highlight a powerful Honest to God episode on Catholic masculinity and brotherhood, and wrap up with quick sermon takeaways from Fr. Mike Schmitz, Deacon Chris Andronaco, Andy Stanley, Ben Stuart, and Kris McDaniel as we step into Epiphany and a brand-new year. As always, this quick, cheerful rundown is lovingly AI-assisted and designed to keep things light, helpful, and hopeful. Be sure to download the episode, follow the podcast, and subscribe so you don’t miss what’s coming next in 2026!
