EP 32 | Why Your New Year’s Resolution Isn’t Working
Why do New Year’s resolutions start strong and fall apart so quickly? And why does trying harder often leave us feeling more discouraged instead of changed?
In this reflective, Scripture-anchored episode, Jonathan Kindler explores why most resolutions fail not because of laziness or lack of desire, but because we plan from hope instead of reality. Blending biblical rhythm, lived experience, and pastoral insight, this conversation reframes growth away from pressure and toward formation. From Sabbath as design, to conditioning without shame, this episode invites listeners to slow down, tell the truth about their limits, and rediscover obedience that actually lasts.
If you’ve ever felt behind before the year even got started, this episode offers a gentler and wiser path forward. Not by doing more, but by walking faithfully within the life God actually gave you.
