In this New Year’s episode, Dan and I pick up right where we left off — shifting from reflecting on what God carried us through to looking toward what He’s preparing next.

This conversation is slower, honest, and full of expectancy as we talk about the kind of year we’re hoping to build with God. We explore the small signs of His faithfulness that give us courage for what’s ahead, the areas where we’re praying for clarity, and the practices we want to take with us into 2026.

We share what it means to welcome a fresh start, how we’re learning to stay open to change, and why listening — really listening — is shaping our hopes for the year in front of us.

We talk about:

✨ What we’re hopeful for as we step into 2026✨ The ways God has been stirring new things beneath the surface✨ Why prayer and paying attention are shaping our expectations✨ The tenderness of transition and being gentle with ourselves as we grow✨ Where we’re asking God for guidance, courage, and clarity✨ How God works even when we don’t fully see the whole picture yet

This episode is an invitation to begin the year with openness, trust, and expectancy — knowing that God is already ahead of us, making a way.
