Delve into the question: Based on who you want to become, what's one habit you need to start? It doesn't have to be grand; better small. Whether it's expressing care through a note, maintaining organization by making your bed, or drawing closer to God through regular church attendance, discover the transformative power of intentional, small habits.
Learn practical steps on creating new habits, making them obvious and easy. Explore the Habit Loop: Cue—Craving—Response—Reward, understanding that cues determine actions.

In the pursuit of change, recognize that hope gets you started, but habits keep you going. Reframe your perspective on change, understanding that consistent small habits lead to a transformed life. As Zechariah 4:10 reminds us, "Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin."
Ask yourself: Who do I want to become? A disciplined servant of Jesus? Discover the truth that change doesn't come from hoping to be better but from establishing better habits. You are the same based on your who—your habits define you. Join us in this transformative journey, where one small habit can lead to something truly extraordinary.
