It's about building habits that align with who you are and how you live.
Not a big fan of New Year's resolutions? Do you end up overdoing it, then dropping all of them by mid-January?That's because the attitude you're approaching goal-setting with is often not grounded in body, mind, and spirit.

As a new year unfolds and the calendar turns, uncertainty can stir anxiety—but Scripture reminds us that while seasons change, God remains the same. Rooted in Psalm 102:25–27, this devotional centers our hearts on the unchanging nature of God, offering peace and confidence when the future feels unknown and reminding us that our hope is secure in the One who never shifts or fades. Highlights Change is a natural part of life, but God’s character remains constant. Scripture anchors us when anxiety about the future begins to rise. God is eternal—Creator, Sustainer, and faithful through every season. Jesus Christ confirms God’s unchanging promises and redemptive plan. Trust grows when we release control and rest in God’s sovereignty. God invites us to enter a new year with peace, not fear, rooted in His faithfulness. Our confidence isn’t in what’s ahead, but in Who goes before us. Do you want to listen ad-free?

They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them, and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” - Psalm 102:25-27 NIVI found that people have mixed feelings about change. There are those like me who crave change and are easily bored by routine and regimentation. Conversely, perhaps you are more like my husband, who finds comfort in consistency. The reality is that life offers us both. Change is inevitable and necessary, and finding contentment in routine is equally important. Yes, as humans, we will experience change throughout our lives. But here’s the good news: there’s one thing that never changes - our God! Today, if you are feeling anxious about the changing of the calendar, rest in the truth that our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When feelings of worry and dread of the unknown are tempted to steal your joy and rob your peace, take time to recite these prayers, as you rest in our unchanging God! “In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them, and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” - Psalm 102:25-27 NIVHeavenly Father, I come before as I enter a new year filled with uncertainty. My heart is anxious, my thoughts consumed with the “what-ifs.” Lord, help my heavy heart rest in the knowledge that You are the Creator, You’ve always existed, and You remain the same for all eternity. You spoke the creation into existence. Your plan for redemption for Your children has remained constant through the ages. When fear of the unknown creeps in, I ask you to silence those thoughts and grant me peace that only You can provide. Thank you. Though I am fickle, Lord, You are always faithful in Jesus' Name, Amen.Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. - Hebrews 13:8Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of Jesus Christ. We see in Jesus that You keep Your promises. In the garden, You promised to make a way for Your children to be reconciled to You, to be saved and redeemed for their sins. Jesus was there in the beginning, and He has always been a part of Your plan. Help me to trust in Your purpose. Lord, You know my thoughts, my heart that quickly beats because I am anxious about tomorrow. Yet, You are sovereign, in total control, and are working everything for my good and Your glory. Calm my anxiety, and help me to release control, the need to know every detail over to You. This year, Lord, I ask that I approach each day worry-free, because I know You are unchanging, and You are Faithful, and I can put my trust in You. In Jesus'Name ' Name, Amen. For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. - Malachi 3:6 ESV Heavenly Father, though people are inconsistent and fickle, You are not. You are immutable, faithful, and steadfast. Your very nature is unchanging. I can put my trust in You because You are eternally trustworthy. Please guide my decisions so that I may live in a way that is holy and pleasing to you. Transform my thoughts and desires to align with Your will. I give this year to you, the highs and lows, the good and bad days, I surrender and submit to You. You are a God, who sees and cares about your children. While I am not able to see the future, I can trust in the One who is the Alpha and Omega — the beginning and the end. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. Praying for you today, friend, as you navigate the changing of the calendar. May this new year bring anticipation and excitement, not dread and anxiousness, as you trust our unchanging God.Intersecting Faith & Life:How do you feel about change?

A new year offers a God-given invitation to renewal, hope, and spiritual refreshment rooted in His design for seasons and fresh starts. Anchored in Romans 15:13, this devotional reminds us that God weaves renewal into creation itself—daily, weekly, and yearly—so we can release the past, trust His mercy, and move forward with joy, peace, and confident hope through the Holy Spirit. Highlights God designed rhythms of renewal through days, weeks, and seasons for our good. Fresh starts are woven into creation, pointing us toward spiritual restoration. The cross of Christ stands as the ultimate picture of death giving way to new life. God removes our sin completely, offering freedom from past failures. His mercies are new every morning, inviting renewed hope each day and year. The turning of the calendar is an opportunity to trust God with what’s ahead. God is still writing your story—renewal is not behind you, it’s ongoing. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Conner Bible Reading:“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” - Romans 15:13 (NIV) All of the hustle and bustle of the holidays has come to a close. Decorations have been stored away, regular schedules have resumed, and the inevitable and likely necessary (at least for me) annual recommitment to diet and exercise has been enacted. Another new year is upon us. For some, the reset of the calendar feels like a fresh start, a blank slate. For others, it might draw out feelings of uncertainty about the unknown ahead. How do you view the renewal of another twelve months? Do you greet a new year with apprehension or anticipation? If we look closely, the framework of refreshing and renewal through time and seasons is evident throughout the Word of God. From the very beginning, we learn that God made day and night. Within each 24-hour period, there is a time for work and time to rest before the cycle begins again. The Lord also established weekly sequences with days assigned to toil and a call to reset on the Sabbath. Monthly and yearly periods are connected to new moons and seasons of sowing and harvesting. The list goes on and on… We can also observe the ultimate example of death and rebirth, exemplified through the cross of our Lord, Jesus Christ, reflected every year as the world goes dormant in winter. During those dark, bare days, we question whether life is present beneath the frozen tundra, yet each year, spring bursts forth with its radiant buds, reminding us all that warmth and light are on the way. With so many opportunities for refreshing and renewal organically embedded into creation, it is clear our Maker sees this process as “good” (Genesis 1:4). There is something cleansing, almost freeing, about a fresh start. How many situations or circumstances have you encountered this last year, or even this past month, that you wish you could put behind you and start again? There are several that come to mind. The Lord understands how these disappointments or personal failures can become a burden too heavy to bear. Which is why both spiritually and physically, He has embedded marker-point moments for us to begin again with a clean slate. “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us,” (Psalm 103:12, NIV). While we may struggle with the concept of freedom from current or past circumstances and sin, the Lord’s mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). There are opportunities for new days, new years, and renewed hope. For “… there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens, (Ecclesiastes 3:1, NIV). Wherever you find yourself this new year, I encourage you to seize this opportunity to refresh. Whatever has passed, let it be put away and look forward to a new beginning. God, the great author, is still writing your story. Let’s commit together to hand Him the pen and trust that the narrative He has planned will be full of abundant blessings this new year. Intersecting Faith & Life: How do you view the turn of the annual calendar? Do you feel inspired or intimidated? Why? Take some time today to prayerfully consider the highs and lows you experienced last year. Note next to each one how you saw God’s presence and provision in every example. Next, jot down some hopes or dreams for this new year. If possible, list aspirations in both the physical and spiritual. Are there relationships you would like to see founded, mended, or renewed? Or perhaps a new pursuit in health, education, or career. Write down anything you feel tugs on your heartstrings. Once completed, take some time to consider how you would like to see your relationship with the Lord grow this year. Is there a particular study you would like to join? Or perhaps a prayer group, or a commitment to daily individual prayer? Whatever feels like the Lord is prompting, make note of it, then release it to Him. I encourage you to keep this list somewhere safe. This time next year, bring it back out and see how God met you in any or all of these circumstances and desires.

GET YOUR TICKETS NOW! THRIVE in 2026 - Women's Event: https://www.youaremore.com Hey guys — welcome to 2026.I don't know about you, but something about this year feels different to me. Not just another fresh start… but a moment. A line in the sand. A decision point.So today, I want to ask you a simple but powerful question:What does December 2026 need to look like for you to honestly say, “Wow… that was the most epic year of my life”?Because here's the truth — I've asked myself that question for the last few years. And if I'm being completely honest? While there was growth… while there was movement… I didn't accomplish what I knew I was capable of.And I had to get real with myself.This episode is about what it's actually going to take to possess — not wish for — your dreams in 2026.I talk about why hoping isn't enough anymore. Why vision without action leads to frustration. And why this year is going to require radical commitment, not comfort.We talk about:Why you must see the vision, not casually think about itWhy clarity creates movement — and confusion keeps you stuckWhy continuing the same thoughts and habits guarantees the same lifeHow comfort, certainty, and growth are constantly in tensionWhy your kids don't just need your words — they need your exampleHow stacking small wins creates momentum that changes everythingI also share personal stories — from watching my dad work third shift while building a business, to realizing how fast time moves when my kids just turned 11.This is not about hustling harder.This is about deciding — once and for all — that you are done pushing your dreams down the road.2026 doesn't need to be louder.It needs to be intentional.If you've felt emotionally thin… worn out… or like the last season took more than it gave — you are not alone. But this year can be different.And it starts with a decision.
January Akashic & Astrology ForecastThis episode is an invitation—not a push. January isn't asking you to hustle, manifest, or figure it all out. It's asking you to slow down, feel what's real, and let something new take shape in the dark.In this episode, we explore January as the womb of the year—a liminal, watery threshold where endings complete, identities soften, and the future quietly begins forming beneath the surface.If you've felt overwhelmed by change, unsure how to move forward, or resistant to the pressure of “new year, new you,” this forecast will help you orient without forcing clarity.What This Episode CoversWhy January is not a launching month—and why that's a giftHow to work with the discomfort of the unknown instead of trying to escape itWhat Neptune's final degree in Pisces means for your emotional and spiritual lifeHow slowness, grief, and softness are actually preparing you for what's nextWhy your relationship to uncertainty now sets the tone for the entire yearSend us a message and let us know what you love about this episodeImportant Links: www.Megthompson.com Attuned - CLICK HERE Let's Connect on Instagram - CLICK HERE

Beyoncé has been declared a billionaire by Forbes, making her the fifth musician to join its list of the world's wealthiest people with 10 figure fortunes, including Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen and Beyoncé's husband Jay Z. Clare McDonnell speaks to Jacqueline Springer, music journalist and Curator of Africa & Diaspora: Performance at the Victoria & Albert museum, about what makes Beyoncé such a successful businesswoman, and the challenges along the way.Why can adults seem to regress to childhood or teenage behaviours at Christmas? We discuss family dynamics and the kinds of behaviour that can re-surface with everyone under the same roof again. Guardian columnist Elle Hunt shares her own experience alongside Woman's Hour listeners, and Psychotherapist Julia Samuel offers advice. Madelaine Thomas works as a professional dominatrix. When her own images were shared online without her consent, she decide to develop a tool that could allow images to be tracked, and abusers identified. Image Angel was the result, offering forensic image protection for platforms, and she's now trying to get businesses in the adult entertainment industry on board. Do we need to re-think our attitudes to ageing, as we age? As we approach 2026, we consider how to shed a negative attitude towards ageing, and embrace growing older and wiser, by revisiting an episode of the Woman's Hour Guide to Life: How to make ageing your superpower. Therapist Emma Kirkby-Geddes shares how she's been struggling to accept the passage of time. Gerontologist Dr Kerry Burnight, and Jacqueline Hooton, a personal trainer and ‘ageing well' coach, offer advice. Research tells us that girls tend to disengage from politics before the age of 16, just as boys seem to grow in confidence. Academics at Roehampton University have looked into this and have created a programme aimed at Year 9 students, in an attempt to re-engage teenage girls in issues that matter to them and boost their confidence to speak politically. Professor Bryony Hoskins has created G-EPIC (Gender Empowerment through Politics in the Classroom) and Rachel Burlton is a teacher at Mulberry School for Girls in London who has been teaching the programme.Presenter: Clare McDonnell Producer: Helen Fitzhenry

Emmanuel—“God with us”—is more than a Christmas name; it’s a lived reality for everyday decisions, uncertain transitions, and moments when courage feels thin. Rooted in Matthew 1:23, this devotional reflection highlights how God’s presence shows up faithfully in seasons of change, reminding us that wherever we go, He goes before us and never leaves us alone. Highlights Emmanuel means God is present, not distant or detached. Stepping into the unknown often reveals God’s faithfulness more clearly. God provides protection, community, and provision in unexpected ways. Small details can become powerful reminders of God’s care. Scripture reassures us that God goes before us and stands with us. The same God who guided past seasons is with us right now. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Full Transcript Below: Emmanuel: God Is With You, Even Now By: Alexis A. Goring Bible Reading:“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Emmanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’” - Matthew 1:23 NLT I sat at a crossroads in my mind. Physically, I was in the driver’s seat of my car in the parking lot between Panera Bread and my favorite local bookstore. But mentally, my mind was weighing the pros and cons of a new job offer. Minutes earlier, Erin, who was the managing editor for the newspaper where I worked as a freelance reporter, had called me to say a publisher of a newspaper in Montana had called her asking for a recommendation about me. She said he sounded very interested in hiring me. In fact, she thought I was getting the job! I was excited but also apprehensive. If they offered me this job, then was I ready to leave the only home I’d known, pack my bags, and relocate from Maryland to Montana? After all, I was a city and suburb East Coast Girl. Was I ready to take this leap of faith and move out to the West of the USA without knowing anyone there or what to expect? Within a matter of days, the publisher interviewed me via Zoom and offered me the job. I froze. Was this really happening? After a moment of silence, I asked for time to think it over. He agreed. Later that day, my Mom—convinced this was the right opportunity for me at that time—said I should accept the job offer and prepare to move. After prayer—and considering the fact that I needed a job, but no local jobs had been offered to me for several months prior—I agreed and told the publisher I would move to Montana. My Mom took a week off from work to help me relocate. We took a flight from BWI and a connecting flight before landing in a small airport in Montana. I still remember the statue of a big cow standing tall and strong in the center of baggage claim. We had arrived in what they call Big Sky Country. Over the course of that week, Mom and I explored my new neighborhood—a small town that was equally charming as the people were nice. We drove an hour away to Billings (the nearest city), where we shopped for home living essentials at Target and Walmart, visited the Ashley Furniture Store to furnish my apartment, and enjoyed meals at the local village cafe near my new home. We both enjoyed the fresh mountain air, the wide-open spaces of land, and being able to see the stars shine bright in the sky at night. When it came time for Mom to leave before sunrise to catch an early flight at the airport so she could return home to Maryland, she told me to pray this prayer every day: God be with me. After she left and the sun rose in the sky, I put on a brave face and said that prayer, then moved forward fearlessly. Looking back, I see how God protected me and kept me safe during that time when I lived alone. He kept wild animals away (cougars were known to prowl near where I lived). He kept me safe when I drove alone through roadways bordered by majestic mountains. God also sent His blessings my way: He surrounded me with people in the community who seemed to care about me. He blessed me with friends who were Christians and married to each other; they drove me to church in Billings every weekend until my car was shipped to my new location. He blessed me with a good neighbor who lived across the hall from me. Her name was Lindsay. She and her school-age children baked Peanut Butter Blossom cookies for me with Hershey’s Kisses in the center of each cookie. They gave this sweet treat to me as a Christmas gift. It showed me that God cares about the little details in life because I was craving chocolate that night, but couldn’t drive anywhere that late to buy it from the grocery store. When my time in Montana was over, God sent Lindsay to my door the night before I had to catch my flight home to Maryland. When I opened the door, she greeted me with a Christmas card and a sincere expression on her face. When I opened the card, money fell out. She told me she had been praying for me, and God told her that is what I needed. I thanked Lindsay for the generous gift. All the time I journeyed in Montana, God was with me. I felt His Presence as clear as day. He sent the people I needed at the right time every time. He blessed my time there, and He brought me home safely. I am so grateful to have witnessed firsthand how God moves. While in Montana that December, a Christmas song by Casting Crowns titled “God is with Us” became the soundtrack for my real-life story. I encourage you to listen to it here: https://youtu.be/xhzWypOp-E4?si=w8ytw4wn34FE9-bC The same God who was with me while I lived alone in Montana is with us today. The Bible says He will never leave us nor forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:8). He goes before us! I can testify to that fact because I saw how God aligned me with every person whom He knew I would need while away from home. May you take heart in knowing that wherever you are in this world—at home or abroad—the Creator of the Universe knows where you are and He is with you, even now. Intersecting Faith & Life: How does it feel to know that the Creator of the Universe is always with you wherever you go?

In this conversation, Emily sits down with author, educator, and speaker Caroline J. Sumlin to explore the ideas behind her groundbreaking book, We'll All Be Free: How a Culture of White Supremacy Devalues Us and How We Can Reclaim Our True Worth. Together, they unpack the systemic and cultural roots that shape our identity and self-worth, and how the beliefs we've inherited from society have kept us striving, performing, and disconnected from our inherent value.This episode digs into the hidden characteristics of white supremacy culture including perfectionism, individualism, urgency, and fear of conflict, and how they quietly infiltrate our relationships, work, and daily lives. Emily and Caroline explore what it means to resist these patterns through community, rest, and intentional slowing down, and how collective liberation begins with personal awareness and small, everyday acts of resistance.If you've ever felt like you're constantly hustling to prove your worth, this conversation will help you trace that feeling back to its roots and offer a path toward freedom, healing, and belonging. Together, they remind us that reclaiming our worth isn't just personal work, it's cultural transformation.In this episode, we explore:How white supremacy culture quietly shapes our standards of beauty, success, and worthThe connection between perfectionism, hustle culture, and systemic oppressionWhy so many of us feel like we're never enough—and how that belief is culturally conditionedThe hidden traits of white supremacy culture (like urgency, individualism, and fear of conflict) and how they show up in daily lifeHow burnout, self-criticism, and overachievement stem from systems designed to keep us strivingWhat it looks like to begin unlearning urgency and embracing rest, community, and presenceHow reclaiming our inherent worth becomes a form of personal and collective liberationThe power of curiosity, discomfort, and compassion in dismantling inherited conditioningIf this conversation opened your eyes to how deeply culture shapes our worth, don't stop here.

He's also the author of “One Belief Away” and has worked with thousands of people who kept saying the same thing you might have said too:“I know what to do… I just don't do it.”In our conversation, we dive into:What “One Belief Away” really means in everyday lifeHow hidden beliefs from childhood run your health, food and body choices todayWhy you keep falling into all-or-nothing thinking and starting over on MondayThe link between emotional eating, people-pleasing and “I'm not enough” storiesWhy willpower is not the problem – and what isSimple at-home tools to start rewiring your beliefs without any special equipmentTim also walks through how to:Spot “mental malware” – old stories like “I always fail” or “I'm not that kind of person”Upgrade the belief “I'm not a priority in my own life” to “I am more than enough”Talk to yourself in a kinder, more effective way when you want to binge or skip a workoutBuild a new identity like: “I'm the woman who takes care of her body, even on stressful days.”If you've ever felt broken, lazy, or like you “just don't have the discipline,” this episode is for you.You're not broken.

A grateful heart brings peace in pain, and practicing thankfulness reshapes our perspective when life feels overwhelming. Megan J. Conner highlights Psalm 107:1, showing that gratitude is rooted in God’s enduring goodness, not our circumstances. When we intentionally look beyond what hurts, we begin to notice the often-overlooked blessings around us, even in the hardest seasons. Highlights Gratitude starts with God’s unchanging goodness, not life going “right.” Pain makes thankfulness harder—so it must be practiced, not assumed. Our brains remember hurt more than joy; gratitude rewires that default. Small moments of goodness (sunrise, quiet, creation) carry spiritual weight. Daily gratitude builds resilience and steadies a hurting heart. Thankfulness grows stronger the earlier and more consistently we choose it.

Full Transcript Below: How to Be Thankful When Life Hurts By Megan J. Conner Bible Reading:“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” - Psalm 107:1 (NIV) Do you feel like your current season of life is so hard that you struggle to find reasons to be thankful? Perhaps your relationships are strained, your finances are tight, or your health has become a daily battle. These challenging circumstances can crush your spirit and your ability to recognize the good when the bad screams so loud it deafens any other thoughts. This discontentment can feel especially acute during the holidays. For many of us, these festive seasons can be reminders of all that appears missing. However, no matter what is going on in each of our lives, there is always something to be grateful for. Likely, there are more reasons than we realize to be thankful. But it takes intentional effort to see the good rather than the bad. If we look to scripture for guidance in this area, it is abundantly clear we are not the only ones who wrestle with faithfully fostering a thankful heart. The psalmist and king, David, shares his angst and feelings of displeasure and dissatisfaction when he declares: “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God…” (Ps. 42:5, NIV). I am not sure what David was facing when he penned these words, but it is clear his soul needed a forced redirection towards the goodness of God. Beyond this example, we can see repeated exhortations throughout the Word calling us to stir up a spirit of gratitude, even when we feel nothing of the sort. The Bible tells us we should always give thanks to God the Father (Eph. 5:20), give thanks in all circumstances (1 Thes. 5:18), and we should live our lives rooted and built up in Him, strengthening our faith as we were taught, overflowing with thankfulness (Col. 2:6). When concepts or guidelines are repeated in the Word, we can know the Lord is trying to tell us something. He is trying to get our attention. This recurring thematic instruction to intentionally push past our feelings of lack towards recognizing and rejoicing in the present abundance, confirms how challenging this can be for many of us. Why? Because, against all logical reasoning, our brains recall traumatic or harmful events far more than moments filled with joy or comfort. As such, we have to put effort into recognizing all of the wonderful, beautiful, and valuable blessings already present in our daily lives. It is amazing what we can notice if we simply look up and out beyond our unwelcome or undesirable circumstances. When was the last time you took a walk or simply stood out on your back porch to gaze upon the stars in the night sky? Or instead of rushing through your morning coffee and out the door, waking up just five minutes earlier so you can sit in the quiet and savor the warm comfort in your mug as the sun rises to greet the new day? Each one of these simple, small recognitions can add up to big change in your perspective and your overall sense of optimism and fulfillment during the holidays. Just like everything else, practice makes permanent. The more you choose to intentionally practice thankfulness, even when life hurts, the more you will discover a continual sense of peace and serenity that will carry you through any and all seasons of life. Intersecting Faith & Life: How is your heart during this holiday season? Is it filled with worship, awe, and thankfulness for the gifts of God, or is it overwhelmed with dread and disappointment? Have you intentionally practiced gratitude in the past? If so, how did it help to reassure your heart during difficult times? I encourage you to use this season as a reason to implement the daily practice of gratitude. Use a journal, the notes on your phone, a “thankful” jar, sticky notes, or take photos – whatever feels most appealing to you as a form of documentation. Then, challenge yourself to find at least one thing to be thankful for each day. It can be as small as the fall of the first snow or a smile from a stranger in the grocery line. After you have successfully recognized one reason to be thankful each day, see if you can add more to your list. Before you know it, your heart will automatically recognize blessings without you even consciously looking for them.
