Welcome to Week 1 of our series, “Step Into Your New Year: Examine, Plan, Rest” on The Forward Church Podcast!

As we step into the New Year, we’re kicking things off with a vital first step: Examine. This teaching invites you to pause, reflect, and take a close look at your heart, habits, and walk with Christ. Much like a car needs regular check-ups to run smoothly, our spiritual lives need intentional moments of inspection to ensure we’re aligned with God’s purpose.

In this episode, we’ll explore what it means to examine yourself in light of Scripture, unpack practical ways to identify areas for growth, and challenge ourselves to embrace the transformation God desires for us. Through passages like 2 Corinthians 13:5 (“Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves.”), we’ll be reminded of the importance of living with authenticity and intentionality in our faith journey.

Whether you’re starting the year strong or feeling stuck, this message will inspire and equip you to move forward with clarity and purpose. Don’t miss the practical steps shared in this episode to help you take action this week.

Tune in, take a deep breath, and let’s begin the New Year by allowing God to examine and renew us. And don’t forget to share this message with someone who needs encouragement as they step into their next season.

Let’s move forward together! 🎙️✨
