Episode 136 - Goal Setting - Part 4

Pastor Paul ushers in the New Year with a traditional goal setting refresher, building on Episodes 34, 35 and 92. After recapping five basic categories of goal setting (Spiritual, Physical, Financial, Skillful, Relational) and three types of measurable goals (Mini-Goals, Medium Goals, Mega Goals), Paul expounds on the theme of HOPE for why we should live intentionally through goal setting. Key supporting Scriptures include Deut. 6:5; Prov. 6:6-8; Eccl. 11:1-2; Mark 8:34-35; 12:30; Rom. 5:1-5; 8:22-25; Eph. 5:16; Phil. 2:12-13; 3:14; and Heb. 11:1; 12:8-11. He also includes a few film references; reviews selected met and unmet goals from 2025; and updates a few goals for 2026. Psalm 136:1 bookends this episode with a benediction from Heb. 13:20-21, admonishing listeners to consider ways to be “faithful over a little” in order to be commended by our Lord Jesus (Matt. 25:21, 23, LSB).
