Have you started your New Year's resolution list yet? Setting goals is one of the great ways to grow as an individual and believer. Sometimes, though, goal-setting can leave us feeling discouraged. We may deeply desire growth, or wish we could be growing at a faster rate. The beauty in all of this is that the Lord is already at work in you, whether you realize it or not. This week on the podcast, we are re-airing one of our favorite episodes around goal-setting! Krystal and Shelby are joined by Emily Thomas from Cultivate What Matters to talk about ways we can set goals in light of Scripture. This episode is a great encouragement to setting goals and trusting the transformative power of the gospel!    Subscribe to our Podcast Newsletter.   Favorite Things: Dutch Blitz Far Kingdom by The Gray Havens Family Conversation Card Deck   Products Mentioned: Cultivate What Matters Powersheets Fix Your Focus Bundle: A 52-Week Guide to Help You Put God First The Daily Grace Planner   Related Resources: Heidelberg Catechism Westminster Shorter Catechism   Connect with us:  The Daily Grace Co. | Facebook | Instagram | Daily Grace Blog |  

We hear the word “intentional” a lot these days and we are encouraged to live with intentionality. But we live in a world full of distractions and responsibilities that seem to choke out the ability to really choose how we live versus letting our lives dictate for us. I know that is a constant struggle for me and I find myself longing for simplicity. If that is you as well, today's episode is one you don't want to miss!   Lara Casey Isaacson is a mom to three (one through the gift of adoption), a grateful wife, and a believer in the impossible. She created the PowerSheets grace-filled goal setting planner and the Write the Word journals, and she founded Southern Weddings magazine a decade ago. Lara is also the author of Make It Happen: Surrender Your Fear. Take the Leap. Live On Purpose.   Today, Lara shares her fascinating story of creating multiple businesses and how that practically looked in her life, while also touching on the difficult seasons she walked through in the midst of the successes she was finding in those businesses. It was during those harder seasons that the Lord gave her a desire to truly live intentionally or “cultivate what matters” which would become a thriving business that is still growing and helping countless people get “unstuck” in life and step fully into their purpose and Godly goals for living.   Currently, Lara has moved into a new season of life, stepping away from Cultivate and is living in NC, where she loves getting her hands dirty in the garden.   I know that no matter where you are in your life journey, you will find this episode to be both encouraging and helpful as Lara offers some very practical tips to beginning or even continuing the process of cultivating what matters in your world and living intentionally in the place the Lord has you today.   For more information on Lara, visit: https://laracasey.com/

Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.” Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“ Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“ Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

In today's episode, Kelley and Casey complete part 2 of How to Cultivate Friendships. Not often talked about in friendships, we talk about texting, ghosting, and hard conversations. At their core, we'd enter into deeper friendships and foster greater connection if we'd focus on communicating more clearly, being willing to go beyond the surface level, and being willing to have hard conversations. We share personal examples and stories in our lives that have been challenging yet refining in the way we approach friendship. Friendship is a part of a rich and beautiful life, and it's so worthwhile to cultivate!    //Time Stamps// 00:00:  Welcome 01:54:  What Casey is loving 03:30:  What Kelley is loving  06:09:  Episode intro - ghosting, communicating, texting, and more!   08:44:  Be a clear communicator  16:21:  Hey, send up a flare.

In today's episode, Kelley and Casey wanted to talk about connection since we're so close to Valentine's Day. So we decided to talk about what every person needs in their lives, whether you're in a relationship or not – friendship!! Having a place to belong and people to connect with are crucial to our health, well-being, and growth as individuals. We can't go it alone. We explore the staggering statistics behind depression, suicide, and being “together but apart” in our technology driven society. It can be a lonely world, but it doesn't have to be. We explore a few easy ways to foster connection and grow friendships (new or old) in our lives. Having friends by our side is what makes life so meaningful and worthwhile, so let's cultivate friendships together for a more purposeful life lived together!    //Time Stamps// 00:00:  Welcome 00:25:  What Casey is loving 03:43:  What Kelley is loving  04:55:  Digging into the meat of the episode 05:38:  Together but apart 07:25:  Epidemic of loneliness  08:02:  Belonging is a basic human need!  11:31:  We know making & keeping friends can be hard  12:30:  4 easy, low energy ways to build connection & grow friendships 23:28:  Closing thoughts      // Resources Mentioned in this Episode // – Try Softer by Aundi Kolber – The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk M.D.  – Hand Lettering Worksheets from Etsy – How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie  – How to Host a Book Swap   // Connect with Us // — Subscribe to the Cultivate What Matters Podcast: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and click subscribe.

In today's episode, Kelley and Casey share a pep talk with you. About this time of the year, discouragement sets in. Doubts and questions of why we aren't making more progress by now swirl in our heads. We offer a pep talk about waiting in the process of goal setting, how it's key to our growth, and how it actually becomes a beautiful part of changing and shaping us for the capital L legacy we want to leave when we're 80.

Big dream goals can be daunting and overwhelming, and many might say, “where do I even start?” We break down what it is, what it's comprised of, and why you should set and pursue big dream goals in your life.

We share wins from other Cultivators, and you'll want to hear these. Whether it's big or small, we can all celebrate something we've grown in and made progress at this year.

In today's episode, Kelley and Casey review The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington. This book talks about how we've all been doing planning for our personal and professional lives wrong – we've got to stop thinking in 1 year periods and switch to 12 weeks. Shorter periods of time allow us to drive urgency to accomplish our goals, see results quicker, celebrate more often, execute on an effective plan, and steward our time WAY more strategically. We share our favorite nuggets, how we'd use it in our own lives, and how we'd rate it and recommend it to others. Thanks for listening to this quarter's book review!  //Time Stamps// 00:00:  Welcome 02:00:  What Casey is loving 04:09:  What Kelley is loving 07:42:  The premise of The 12 Week Year 10:54:  You have to measure the execution!  11:50:  Our favorite nuggets  12:00:  Commitments are different from interests.  13:03:  A new take on weekly planning  13:52:  Life is intentionally unbalanced  15:21:  Accountability is ownership of your life.   16:09:  How we'd apply & implement these learnings  20:41:  How we'd rate the book   21:13:  Greatness is made in the small moments.  23:06:  85% execution is the secret!  24:44:  Final thoughts     // Resources Mentioned in this Episode // — Macro Friendly Foods — Lillie Eats and Tells — Stabilo 68 Pen — PowerSheets Intentional Goal Planner  — Blooms Pen Set — PowerSheets Facebook Group  — The 12 Week Year  — The 4 Hour Workweek   // Connect with Us // — Subscribe to the Cultivate What Matters Podcast: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and click subscribe.

In today's episode, we're talking about the everyday realities of living in a broken world. Our minds can also become conformed to think negatively and reject any thankfulness. Packed with Scripture, we shed light on how we can change the lens we view life with because of Christ and what He did for us. With gratitude, it can change everything. With a couple of practical examples that are science backed, we hope you can begin practicing gratitude in your everyday life, not just during Thanksgiving.
