Every January, millions of people make New Year’s resolutions — and most of them quit by mid-January.
So why do we keep doing this?
In this conversation, Tony and Maggie unpack why resolutions often fail and how Scripture invites us into something far better than willpower-driven self-improvement.
They talk about:
Why most resolutions collapse within weeks
The pressure people (especially women) feel to “set goals”
The difference between resolutions and spiritual commitments
Three biblical categories for real change:
1️⃣ Stop harmful things
2️⃣ Start faithful things
3️⃣ Continue fruitful things
Why your why matters more than your goal
The uncomfortable but powerful question: “What would Jesus resolve for you?”
This episode isn’t about becoming a better version of yourself — it’s about becoming the person God is forming you to be.
If you’re tired of starting over every January, this conversation will help you rethink how real transformation actually happens.
