What if your word for the year isn’t a word at all, but a posture? We set our sights on Matthew 19:14 and center the coming year on children, safety, and formation—because welcoming the next generation is more than a sentiment; it’s a kingdom assignment. From a real allergy scare to a renewed check-in system, we connect conviction to action and show how love, planning, and prayer work together.

We also challenge the annual resolution cycle. Resolutions feel inspiring, but they’re optional; covenant is not. Through honest stories—failed treadmills, caffeine missteps, and learning to pray first—we trace a path from motivation to abiding. Seeking God first reshapes speech, calendars, and choices. Instead of sprinkling a little “church” onto a busy life, we rebuild the center so obedience flows instead of feels forced. John 15 reframes fruitfulness: apart from the vine, effort turns shiny but rotten; connected to Jesus, hidden roots produce durable, nourishing fruit.

This conversation moves from Sunday inspiration to Monday formation. We talk humility over pride, honesty over image, and leadership that points our homes to Christ in both valleys and mountaintops. Romans 12:1 calls us to become living sacrifices—daily, not seasonal. We even embrace pruning for growth, trusting that surrender makes room for the Spirit to mature us. If God refuses second place, what sits on your throne? Join us as we trade resolutions for relationship, safety theater for real care, and temporary motivation for an abiding life that our kids can follow.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway—what will you surrender this year?
