"A new year doesn't make a new you if you keep living the way you've always lived."
As the calendar flips to a new year, many of us start thinking about fresh starts and resolutions. But does a new year really bring lasting change? Amy LaRue, host of the 'Finding Hope' podcast, explores this question with guest Darcy Stevens. They reflect on a powerful quote from Shane Pruitt: "A new year doesn't make a new you if you keep living the way you've always lived.
A new you only happens when you let an eternal God take over, and He changes how you live." This episode challenges listeners to look beyond typical resolutions and consider what real change might entail. Amy and Darcy discuss the importance of setting meaningful goals, not just for oneself but also in the context of family. They share personal anecdotes about how they approach the new year, focusing on selecting a 'word of the year' and setting SMART goals.
They emphasise that change requires courage and sometimes a leap of faith, like attending a support meeting or retreat. The episode also touches on the idea of redemption and how God can use past pain for future purpose. With retreats planned across the U.S., Amy and Darcy encourage listeners to take that step towards healing and community. So, are you ready to embrace a year of genuine transformation?
This episode provides both inspiration and practical advice to help you start 2026 with purpose and hope.
