Spiritual Goal-Setting

About this episode

Janet Aucoin and cohost Leah discuss the importance of setting spiritual growth goals and provide practical tools for Christ-centered development.

Most of us set goals for our finances, our health, even our careers but how often do we consider spiritual growth goals? Janet Aucoin and cohost Leah explore why intentional faith goals matter, grounding the conversation in David Powlison’s insights on sanctification and the surprising truth that God uses different scriptural motivations in each of our lives. Practical tools like Randy Patten’s six spiritual disciplines and Leah’s Six Month Growth Plan point listeners toward faithful, Christ-centered growth.
