Summary

Tomorrow we mark the dawn of a new year, and we love starting a new year with purpose and intention. As we gear up for the gift of another year ahead, we want to be intentional about finishing well and starting strong.

This episode wraps up our three-episode series, Finish Well, Start Strong. We're completing the series with a conversation about personal goal setting as we embark on a new year. Jess and Kennesha ask and answer questions like:

Does goal setting and vision casting even work?
What are different forms of goal setting/vision casting that we can try?
Why do we set goals?
What happens when our goals don’t come to fruition?

Whether you're the world's biggest goals girls or if talk of goal setting make you queasy, this episode is for you.

Dig in deeper with our Finish Well, Start Strong guide, found here! We made this brand new, FREE resource just for our podcast gals. We pray these resources (this series + the guide!) leave you feeling hopeful that you can finish 2021 well and start 2022 strong, because God is mighty in you and in the year ahead.

Our other favorite goal-setting resource mentioned in this episode: PowerSheets by Cultivate What Matters!
