À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE

As the calendar turns and the world rushes into new goals, we're invited to take a deeper, wiser approach.

Drawing on Jonathan Edwards's intentional commitments, we’ll explore how God calls us to a life of meaningful, Gospel-rooted change. Learn how to aim higher, think deeper, and build a foundation for transformation that doesn’t fade by February.

You’ll also hear how to take your next step in biblical emotional and spiritual health through our free Navigator Level community.
