Every January, men make the same promises: get healthier, make more money, be more disciplined, finally get their life together. But what if the problem isn’t our effort—it’s our foundation?
In this episode of Gospel & Gradebooks, we break down the most common New Year’s resolutions and examine them through a biblical lens. We talk honestly about why so many resolutions fail, how self-focused goals quietly replace surrender, and where faith often gets pushed to the margins instead of the center.
Then we shift the focus to faith-based resolutions that actually last—putting God first, pursuing spiritual consistency over hype, leading at home, and building habits rooted in obedience rather than motivation. This isn’t about a “new you.” It’s about living faithfully for the God who never changes.
Whether you’re a teacher, a dad, or a man trying to start the year with purpose, this episode challenges you to stop chasing temporary change and start building eternal priorities.
