Happy 2023!! It’s the show’s 1-year anniversary, and a new year. We’re taking a step back to consider the role resolutions and goals can play in our lives as Christians.
💓 God knows His plans for us… but is it OK for us to make plans, too?
🤝 How do we keep God at the center of our journey?

SCRIPTURES & QUOTES:
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
In honor of the life and passing of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, Enriquez wanted to share this quote which can help to center our 2023 resolutions:
“What is truly great grows outside the limelight; and stillness at the right time is more fruitful than constant busyness, which degenerates all too easily into mindless busywork. All of us, in this era when public life is being more and more Americanized, are in the grip of a peculiar restlessness, which suspects any quietness of being a waste of time, any stillness of being a sign of missing out on something. Every ounce of time is being measured and weighed, and thus we become oblivious to the true mystery of time, the true mystery of growing and becoming: stillness. It is the same in the area of religion, where all our hopes and expectations rest on what we do; where we, through all kinds of exercises and activities, painstakingly avoid facing the true mystery of inner growth toward God. And yet, in the area of religion, what we receive is at least as important as what we do.”
-From his book, “Co-Workers of the Truth: Meditations for Every Day of the Year”
