As we enter 2026, you might find yourself looking back at the past year — and instead of feeling hopeful, you feel weighed down. Maybe even hopeless. Maybe part of you is thinking:

“I want to feel God’s love… I really do. But can things ever really change? Because every year feels the same.”

Friend, I understand exactly where you’re coming from. And you’re not the only woman to think these thoughts or feel this way. Your emotions are real. Your questions are valid. And yet — the true God of the Bible is famous for making a way when everything looks hopeless. Your hope doesn’t come from your circumstances. It comes from Him. The God who loves you as you are and is above every situation you face.

In this episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal part of my story — one that should have logically led me far from God. Non-Christian parents. An abusive childhood. A region where Jesus’ true character wasn’t taught. But somehow, God still made a path for me. A path that should not have existed. A path that transformed my life.

Then, we dive into Isaiah 43:19 (NLT) to explore God’s promise to “make a pathway through the wilderness” and “create rivers in the dry wasteland.” Whether your wasteland is emotional, spiritual, relational, or practical… God is able to do something new. And often, the only step He asks from you is to recognize and respond.

✨ Finally, I have a special and timely announcement — something God has prepared for you to ensure that this year looks different than last year. If you’re ready to step into the new year in step with His love, you won’t want to miss it. ❤️
