A Year in the Rear View: Spiritual Reflection, Discipline as Devotion, and Faith-Driven Planning for 2026

What happens when you pause the noise of goal-setting and ask God what He wants to accomplish in the next five years? In this deeply personal year-end reflection, Angela shares her seven-year practice of spiritual planning and how every word written in surrender has come to pass...not always on her timeline, but always in divine precision.This isn't your typical year-in-review episode. Instead of celebrating accomplishments or setting ambitious goals, Angela unpacks what it means to build differently...to steward a calling that doesn't fit conventional models while navigating cancer treatments, raising kids, working full-time, writing eleven book drafts, and launching a podcast and blog.Discover why discipline isn't about control...it's devotion in action. Learn how to discern God's voice above the noise. And explore what it means to live "as if" the promise is already true, even before clarity arrives.Key Topics CoveredSpiritual planning process: How to seek God's vision every five years and adjust annuallyDiscipline redefined: Moving from rigidity to devotion in actionFaith-based reflection: Reviewing 2025's spiritual assignments and breakthroughsBuilding differently: Stewarding God-sized vision outside conventional frameworksDiscernment over answers: Strengthening your ability to hear God's voiceLiving "as if": Aligning your posture with what God has already spokenLooking ahead to 2026: Words of prophecy, preparation, and promiseWho This Episode Is ForThis episode speaks to women who are:Navigating multiple responsibilities while stewarding a callingFeeling stuck between effort and visible progressQuestioning whether their pace is too slow or their vision too bigLearning to release control and trust divine timingSeeking deeper discernment rather than easy answersBuilding something that doesn't fit existing modelsWhether you're an entrepreneur, corporate professional, ministry leader, educator, healthcare worker, or simply a woman trying to stay faithful to what God has entrusted to you...this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.Reflection QuestionsWhat are you looking forward to in 2026?What might God be preparing you for - long before it becomes visible?Where have you confused discipline with control?What would change if you asked God what He wants to accomplish in the next five years (instead of planning what you think should happen)?Connect & Continue the ConversationIf this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear about it.
