With the start of a new year, we all have big ambitions about what is ahead in 2025. Whether that's a big life change, getting into shape, or starting a bible reading plan, everything feels within reach that first week of January. But what happens when those plans all start falling through in the seond week of January?

Jonathan and Laurie discuss what it means to set goals in a new year, what the Christian life tells us about failure, and why the Gospel is an eternal comfort in the wake of the disappointments of life. With Jesus, every day is a chance to start anew!
