#326: Purpose Is Not Passive: How to Set Direction for Your Family

Season #8

Designing 2026: Goals That Matter 

Feeling overwhelmed by goal-setting? In this episode, we share a simple, biblical framework for setting meaningful goals for 2026—starting with you and then your marriage. 

Using Mark 12:30, we break goals into four areas: heart, soul, mind, and strength, and talk about how small, realistic steps can lead to real growth over time. 

We also dive into:

  • How to set personal goals without burnout 
  • Why the soul is often overlooked—and why it matters 
  • Protecting your mind in a world full of noise 
  • Designing your marriage instead of letting it drift 
  • How to set marriage goals without creating conflict 

Progress matters more than perfection.
