Don't Carry Last Year Into This Season - APOC Ministry

What this episode covers

This year won’t change just because the calendar did. If nothing shifts internally, this season will look exactly like the last one, same stress, same patterns, same outcomes. Not because you’re cursed… but because you’re carrying what was never cleaned. In this message, Eric breaks down why a new year isn’t automatic and why preparation, not intention, determines whether this season becomes your best or your hardest. Drawing from Exodus 19, he unpacks the idea of washing your own clothes—identifying the internal contamination, habits, and responses that quietly sabotage progress. This isn’t about starting over. It’s about stopping the transfer of last year’s weight into this season. If you’re ready for real change, not just motivation, this message is for you. Key themes: • Why “another year” and a “new year” are not the same • How unresolved habits contaminate finances, relationships, and peace • What it actually means to reset before you rebuild • Why some cycles require more than a quick fix 👉 Watch the full message. Stay for the entire conversation. Don’t skip this step.

Whole Faith Marcus & Jessa Myer Welcome to The Whole Faith Podcast, where we go deep into the things of God. We're your hosts, Marcus and Jessa Myer - a husband-and-wife team passionate about pursuing and telling the Truth. The more we study Scripture, the more we experience the ever-growing joy and pleasure found only in Jesus. We’ve been doing ministry together for the past 15 years, and one thing we’ve seen over and over again is that so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are desperately hungry for a deeper teaching of God’s Word. In each episode, we explore theology, doctrine, and practical wisdom that every believer should have the confidence to pursue. Join us as we uncover essential truths from Scripture and tackle difficult, sometimes controversial questions to provide you with biblical answers. Where the Enemy wants to keep the Church in a place of shallow faith and theological insecurity, our hope is that these conversations will equip you with boldness and assurance! Now, let’s grow deeper together Word Online: Series 7 - The Transfiguration & the end of the Galilean ministry Word Online There is a dramatic change in the life of Jesus as this point. He takes his disciples away for a private time together which leads to the amazing event of the Transfiguration. This is a turning point. The Galilean ministry is at an end. Jesus is going to leave Galilee and head south towards Jerusalem for the final and much shorter part of his ministry which will lead ultimately to his death and resurrection.
