"God wants your heart. He wants to have communion with you all through your day, not just for a set time in the morning."
What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? As the new year approaches, many of us find ourselves scribbling down resolutions with the best intentions. But did you know that only about 10% of those who make resolutions actually see them through? In this engaging episode of 'Hope, Healing & Freedom,' Lee Whitman from Restoring the Foundations International dives into the art of setting realistic New Year's resolutions.
Lee shares personal stories of his own resolution mishaps, like the time he ambitiously set out to read the entire Bible in a year, only to find himself derailed by the less thrilling chapters of Leviticus and Numbers. Lee highlights common resolution themes such as exercising more, saving money, and spending time with loved ones. He also stresses the importance of setting achievable goals and the power of realistic expectations.
Whether it's starting with lighter weights at the gym or pacing your Bible reading over two years instead of one, small steps can lead to significant change. The episode also touches on deeper spiritual goals, like improving one's relationship with Jesus. Lee encourages listeners to avoid turning prayer into a checkbox exercise and instead integrate it naturally throughout the day. He suggests setting alarms to remind oneself to pause and connect with Jesus regularly.
Lee's insights are not just about ticking off resolutions but embracing a lifestyle that fosters growth and connection with God. This episode offers both practical advice and spiritual encouragement, leaving you inspired to tackle 2026 with a fresh perspective. So, what are your goals for the new year, and how will you ensure they align with your values?
