In this episode, we talk about what it means to be new. Our culture in general is obsessed with the new year, as if a new number on the calendar will change everything. We place our hope in fulfilling our new year's resolutions and end up trying to find our identity in how we can improve ourselves. But this effort is hopeless. New years don't magically change everything. New Year's resolution usually fall by the wayside in just a few short weeks. We can never make ourselves perfect. But God. Our hope rest in the fact that Jesus makes us new. Our identity is found in the truth that we are God's children, and that is enough.

Our goal at Tikvah is to find hope by exploring the Lord's heart for his people and his world. New episodes are posted biweekly on Sundays at 2 p.m. Be sure to follow along and reach out to us with your own thoughts, comments, and ideas! Follow us @tikvahpodcast
