Five Questions to Consider in the New Year

Andy Mason, with Heaven in Business, offered this list of five, which I like very much. 1. Reflect on the Past Year: Take time to identify the key changes, challenges, and victories from this year. What patterns or lessons emerge? Write them down and ask God for clarity on their purpose.2. Identify Your Core Focus: Where do you want to build momentum in the coming year? Narrow your focus to a specific area—whether it’s discipling others, launching a project, or expanding your influence. Momentum grows fastest when your energy is concentrated.3. Activate Bold Faith: What bold step can you take this week? Is there a leader you’ve been hesitant to reach out to, a project you’ve been delaying, or a prayer you’ve been afraid to ask? Step out and trust God with the results.4. Build a Strategic Prayer Rhythm: Dedicate time each week to strategic prayer. Record testimonies of growth, set clear targets for prayer, and stay grounded in the big picture. Invite others to join you in this process.5. Invest in Relationships: Whether it’s mentoring a rising leader or connecting with peers, prioritize relationships. Momentum accelerates when you’re surrounded by a strong community.
