My Approach to the New Year

I’m in “wrapping up the year” and “getting ready for the next year” mode – both personally and professionally.

I’m not a New Year’s resolution guy, but I very much see the close of the holidays and the change of the calendar year as a time to be intentional about Kingdom Values — leveraging who I am and what I’ve been given to reach my neighbors, my city, and my world with Gospel-focused ministries of mercy so they might come to know, love, and follow Jesus into His Kingdom.

It’s a time to re-evaluate and re-center my organization and time management. It’s a time to re-evaluate and re-center my mission, vision, values, goals, relationships, etc.

I want even my time of rest and relaxation to be centered in ALL of Christ for ALL of life.

Philippians 3:10, “that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,”

1 Corinthians 2:2For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

What about you…how do you approach the New Year?
