As the new year begins, the world screams at us to set bigger goals, hustle harder, and chase a vision of success defined by worldly standards. 

But what if God is inviting us to a different path? What if He's asking us to trade our self-reliant ambition for Spirit-led assignments?

In this powerful episode, Dr. Lee contrasts the world's way of goal setting (like SMART goals) with a biblical framework that prioritizes surrender, trust, and obedience. This isn't just another episode about New Year's resolutions; it's a guide for faith-led leaders on how to truly commit their work to the Lord and allow Him to establish their plans.

If you're tired of the endless cycle of hustle and burnout and want to approach your goals with peace, clarity, and true kingdom impact, this episode will provide the permission and the practical steps you need.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• The spiritual dangers of relying solely on worldly goal-setting frameworks like SMART goals.
• How to shift your focus from "What do I want to achieve?" to "Who does God want me to become?"
• A practical, 3-step biblical framework for goal setting: Surrender through Prayer, Commit Your Work, and Walk in Obedience.
• Why you should hold your plans with an open hand, ready for God's divine detours.
• The crucial difference between asking God to bless your plans and asking Him to let you in on His.

"Our job is not to force the original plan, but to stay in step with the Planner."
