Have you ever heard of choosing a "word of the year"? For a long time, I didn’t get it. As a pastor, I’m always searching for a word for Sunday—how was I supposed to pick one for an entire year? But over time, I realized the power of branding my year with a single word. In this episode, I share how I landed on my last three words—perhaps, multiply, and capacity—and how each shaped my journey. I also walk through a simple process to help you find your own word by filtering it through Scripture, God’s heart, and personal challenges. Whether you’ve done this for years or you’re just getting started, this episode will help you pick a word that gives you focus, direction, and purpose. If you have a word for the year, I want to hear it—tag me and let’s go after it together!
