04: Grace-Based Goal Setting
Want to know what I did for New Years 2023? The photo above explains it pretty well. Stayed in with my husband and cat. Watched a movie. Started thinking about dreams and goals for 2023. (And the fact that Chex Mix laid with me while I worked…made it the best start of 2023)
Now, it’s January 31st. And most of you have either 1) created some New Years resolutions and have stuck with them! 2) created some New Years resolutions and given up on them or 3) not even thought about or had any desire to have New Years resolutions... Well, this podcast episode is for any one of you. :)
In this episode, I share a method, created by Lara Casey of Cultivate What Matters, I discovered a few years ago that transformed my view of goal-planning. I share how I used to create goals motivated by insecurity and dependent on personal striving and how those always led me to self-disappointment and exhaustion. I gave up on goal planning once I understood the gospel, until a friend introduced me to a new way of looking at goals, growth, and sanctification.
I share what makes this method different and how it is fueled by grace and dependent on Jesus and I also share my grace-based goals for 2023. Hope you enjoy!
