What’s Your Plan for Growing Closer to God This Year?

New Year, New You?
New year, new you? Maybe. But how about new year, deeper faith? January is the perfect time to refocus—not just on fitness goals or career plans, but on something eternal: your relationship with God.
Let’s be real—spiritual growth doesn’t just happen because you hope for it. It takes intentionality and effort. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to flip your life upside down to grow closer to God. Small, consistent steps can create lasting change.
How to Set Spiritual Goals That Stick
Pick One Thing: Don’t overwhelm yourself by trying to do everything at once. Want to pray more? Read your Bible daily? Start with one focus that feels meaningful to you.
Keep It Realistic: You don’t need to become a Bible scholar overnight. Set goals you can actually achieve, like spending 5 minutes in prayer each morning or reading one chapter of Scripture a day.
Make It Stick: Tie your spiritual habits to things you already do. Pray during your morning coffee. Listen to a Bible podcast on your commute. Follow faith-based creators to keep God in your daily scroll.
Ask Yourself:
Where do you feel God calling you to grow spiritually this year?
What small habits could help you stay connected to Him?
How can you invite accountability from friends or family in your faith journey?
One Step at a Time.
