0:00.0 | What's up and welcome to Ask Father Josh. This is the New Year's edition, the New Year's |
0:09.0 | special show where I'm just going to give you a word of encouragement. Y'all, I don't |
0:13.6 | know about you but every year New Year's Eve comes. I make a resolution and typically |
0:19.2 | within a few weeks just doesn't happen. Doesn't go through but this year is going to be a |
0:24.0 | different year. I think we need to be a little more intentional about our New Year's |
0:28.4 | Resolutions. And so, but I want to invite us to do. We have a few more days until we get |
0:33.1 | to New Year's Day. I want to invite us to examine what is our dominant vice. We all got |
0:38.7 | one. Some of us is pride, some of us is envy, some of us is wrath, our lust, sloth, our gluttony, |
0:46.0 | our greed. And so, I want to encourage us to discern what's my core vice that I struggle |
0:54.8 | with. And if you don't know, ask your spouse, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your mommy, |

1:08.2 | We can tell us what we don't see. And so, I want to invite us to discern our dominant |
1:14.2 | vice and then discover the the version that it poses that that vice. I just did a YouTube |
1:20.2 | show with the Ascension Presence Channel. The Ask Father Josh show on VICE and Virtue. |
1:23.8 | And so, I'd encourage you to watch that show and learn about the vices and then find |
1:27.6 | on what Virtue's opposed them and then cultivate that virtue for the year. Prioritize opposing |
1:34.9 | that vice and prioritizing that virtue through your prayer, through your works, through your |
1:41.4 | conversations, the appearances, just be intentional with that. We can literally spend an entire |
1:47.5 | year on one vice. It ain't like we could just do a virtue and overnight it's going to |
1:52.0 | be done. Nah, nah, but like seriously, I want to invite you to discern what's my dominant |
1:57.4 | vice that keeps me from being a bridge for other people to come to Jesus and keeps me |
