Episode 201: Starting Fresh With One Word

Happy New Year! In this episode, Dot and Cara talk about the concept of choosing a word of the year—a practice they never thought they’d embrace. They share personal stories about how their words for 2024 shaped their faith journeys. This conversation shows how a simple word, rooted in Scripture and prayer, can draw us closer to God and guide us through the year. Grab your Bible, and settle in as Dot and Cara encourage you to pray about your word for 2025.Got a question about today’s episode or something else you’d like to hear us talk about on the show?
