what happens when the year doesn’t go the way you planned?

in this opening episode of made to dwell for 2026, i’m reflecting honestly on the goals i didn’t reach in 2025—from career plans and personal habits to big life decisions like whether to sell our house or stay put. instead of framing these moments as failures, we explore what god may have been doing beneath the surface all along.

this episode is an invitation to release pressure, reframe disappointment, and enter the new year with faith instead of striving. if you’ve been carrying quiet guilt about unmet goals or wondering whether you “did enough” this past year, this conversation is for you.

scriptures referenced include psalm 37, proverbs 16, james 1, and john 15.
