Before we jump in we wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and thank you all for allowing us to do with life with you this past year. As we reflect on the year, we are reminded of what you all mean to us, the life you all help us live and are so thankful that you allow us to create content in different forms to hopefully encourage you! We also announced the nearly 40 winners of our 12 Day’s of Christmas Giveaway. You can watch here!

Let’s jump into the last Sunday Send of the year!!!

Every year ends with a flood of thoughts—How in the world did the year go by so fast? What goals did I hit? What fell short? But this time, we’re shifting the focus. It’s not about packing in more activities or chasing endless checklists that is all about what we do. It’s about shaping who we are becoming.

With this year winding down, we’re flipping the script on resolutions. Instead of asking, “What do I want to do in 2025?” we’re asking, “Who do I want to become in 2025?”

When we think about identity over actions, the impact deepens. Goals stop feeling like fleeting to-dos and start reflecting something bigger—a change that sticks because it starts from the inside out. Versus something that changes us from the outside in.

For me, I’m not just saying “I want to work out more” or “I want to save more money” I’m saying, “I want to be a more active father.” and “I want to be a hardworking & generous steward” See the difference? Then you use that extra motivation to create a plan that focuses on the deeper intention rather than a “surfacey” hope.

So what about you—who do you want to become in 2025? Can you carve out a few hours to reflect on the previous year and get excited for the year to come? Look through your photos on your phone, crack open the journal to write down some key moments & pray that God would reveal how he is shaping you in this season!

Tori and I have a tradition of choosing a “word of the year.” No pressure to join in, but if you feel led, we’d love to hear yours. We ask God to guide us and give us a word that will be a little picture of what we can focus on and look out for for the year to come, and fun fact—ours for 2025 is “health.” If you get a word, feel free to reply and share! We love hearing from yall! But no worries if not, we know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Speaking of, we are about to have a “cuppa”!

Thank you for being a member of the Sunday Send! We love you & remember… you are God’s masterpiece!
