Description

In this episode, I talk about stepping into the new year with faith and a deeper understanding of the balance between grace and obedience in the Christian walk. I remind listeners that salvation is a free gift from God—it cannot be earned through good works—but that genuine faith produces a transformed, Spirit-led life.

I share practical ways faith shows up in everyday living, including honoring our bodies, treating others with kindness and dignity, pursuing excellence in the work God has entrusted to us, and striving for obedience rather than perfection. This episode is an invitation to reflect honestly on your life, partner with God in the year ahead, and allow your faith to be lived out in visible, meaningful ways.
