The start of a new year often brings reflection, anticipation, and—if we’re honest—a fair amount of anxiety. As we say goodbye to 2025 and step into 2026, many of us find ourselves trying to predict what lies ahead: the good, the hard, the unexpected, and everything in between.

In this episode of From Guilt to Grace, we talk honestly about the uncertainty that comes with planning for a new year. Through personal stories, biblical reflection, and a careful look at Jeremiah 29:11 in its proper context, we’re reminded that God’s plans were never a promise of an easy life—but a promise of His presence, faithfulness, and ultimate redemption.

We reflect on how God meets us in hardship, how He walks with us through seasons we could never predict, and how even our deepest struggles can be used for His glory. This New Year’s message isn’t about resolutions rooted in control, but about learning to trust God when life doesn’t go according to plan.

As we enter a year filled with unknowns, this episode invites you to make one simple, powerful resolution: no matter what comes, trust in God and His plans.
