Are you ready to reset your prayer life for 2026? In this candid New Year’s episode, Alana and Jaime invite you to look beyond standard resolutions and identify the subtle habits that might be hindering your connection with God. Instead of a guilt-inducing list of "don'ts," the hosts offer a grace-filled conversation about lifestyle and spiritual hurdles—from the trap of "prayer procrastination" caused by shame to the mental toll of constant noise and input.

Drawing from Romans 12:2, they explore how renewing your mind isn't just about spiritual discipline, but also about protecting your mental energy and physical health. Alana and Jaime get vulnerable about their own struggles, discussing everything from the impact of decision fatigue and poor sleep hygiene to the danger of coasting on past Bible knowledge. They challenge the modern tendency to fill every quiet moment with media, encouraging listeners to embrace silence and intentional scheduling to create "white space" for the Holy Spirit.

Whether you are battling negative self-talk or simply need better boundaries with your phone at bedtime, this episode offers practical, non-judgmental encouragement. Tune in to discover how treating your body as a "partner in ministry" and making small tweaks in your routine can lead to spiritual breakthroughs, reminding us that God isn't looking for perfection—He is simply waiting to welcome you home with open arms this New Year.
