About this episode
Carly discusses the importance of goal setting for Christian moms, encouraging a focus on personal growth and alignment with God's purpose.
As a new year begins, goal setting can feel both exciting and overwhelming—especially for Christian moms. Do we need a word for the year? Do we seek to become a completely new person on January 1st? Do we need to work out 5 days a week to move the needle? Is any of this striving even Godly or wise? Friends, there is a better way. You’ll be encouraged to shift the question from “What do I want to accomplish?” to “Who do I want to become?”— and then create small, actionable weekly goals that align with the woman and mother God is shaping you to be. Goal setting isn’t “bad” or “wrong.” The key is to keep God at the center and remember that, ultimately, He establishes our steps. Who is God inviting you to become in this season—and what’s one small step you can take this week in response? Make sure to join the Facebook group to continue the conversation!
