As we step into a new year, it’s easy to chase fresh goals, new habits, and big plans. But before we ask God to bless the year ahead, we need to make sure our hearts and lives are aligned with Him.

In this episode of Conversations in the Word, we talk about alignment before ambition, surrender before strategy, and why obedience matters more than clarity. This is a start-of-year conversation focused on committing our plans to God and choosing faithfulness over performance.

If you’re entering this year with expectations, uncertainty, or hope for what’s next, this episode is an invitation to slow down, seek God first, and walk into the year with trust and purpose.
