A new year invites us to slow down, reflect, and ask where God might be shaping us next. This message reminds us that real spiritual growth doesn’t happen by accident, but through intentional awareness and faithful response to God’s work within us. One simple way to live this out is through a Word of the Year—a prayerful focus that helps us notice, listen, and take small steps of obedience over time. As we begin the year together, come discover how God uses intentional, grace-filled practices to form us into who He’s calling us to become.
