Happy New Year! Welcome to the first episode of Resident Strangers in 2024. Steve, Rich and Sarah join together to talk about new year traditions and of course how to start the new year centered in the Lord. In some ways New Year's Day is just another day, right? But it is certainly a good excuse to become self-reflective and think about what God has called us to be. As followers of Christ, it takes intentionality to follow after Jesus. We have a whole new year to live and become more like Christ! As Paul says in Ephesians, how can we redeem the time? Steve gives some practical advice about putting self-reflection and time with the Lord into our calendars. Rich encourages everyone to think of themselves as theologians as they are following Christ as reading and studying are a great way to grow. What if you made 2024 a year that you read through the entire Bible? Sarah asks a question about how to healthily self-examine while keep a focus on the Lord. Steve and Rich give great feedback how this all relates to being a devoted follower of Jesus. We hope this episode gives you some things to think about as a new year begins!
