Most goal-setting starts with "what should I do differently?" But there's a better question: what is God already doing in your life, and how can you practically cooperate with that work? In this episode, I walk you through a step-by-step discernment process for resetting your spiritual rhythms using journal prompts, scripture, and prayer to set spiritual goals rooted in an honest look at your heart, not in copying what everyone else is doing.

In this episode, you'll learn how to:

• Recognize how God has already been speaking to you this season
• Use journal prompts to brain dump your schedule and your heart
• Practice discernment by looking for heart patterns and spiritual fruit through scripture
• Use a simple filter (based on Mark 4) to find what's blocking spiritual growth
• Build a doable plan rooted in trust in God and hearing His voice this season

Whether you need biblical encouragement to get started or a fresh way to practice discernment in this season, this episode offers a practical, faith-rooted process for setting spiritual goals that actually last.

This reset is part of what I walk through every month in my Name Your Year journal: a guided tool for spiritual discernment and word-of-the-year goal setting for Christian women.
