Why Finishing 2025 Strong Means Asking the Right Questions
You don’t need a 12-week sprint or another overcomplicated strategy to finish the year with purpose. What you need is clarity—both from God and from the people you’re here to serve.
In this episode of Her Faith at Work, we’re talking about one of the simplest yet most powerful tools you can use in Q4: a short, intentional survey. This isn’t about marketing gimmicks or fancy tech. It’s about asking the right questions, listening well, and aligning your next steps with both heaven and your audience.
If you’ve ever wondered how to serve your people better while setting yourself up for 2026, this conversation is for you.
