New Year, New Me?

from Tikvah Hosted by Tikvah

In this episode, we talk about what it means to be new. Our culture in general is obsessed with the new year, as if a new number on the calendar will change everything. We place our hope in fulfilling our new year's resolutions and end up trying to find our identity in how we can improve ourselves. But this effort is hopeless. New years don't magically change everything. New Year's resolution usually fall by the wayside in just a few short weeks. We can never make ourselves perfect. But God. Our hope rest in the fact that Jesus makes us new. Our identity is found in the truth that we are God's children, and that is enough. Our goal at Tikvah is to find hope by exploring the Lord's heart for his people and his world. New episodes are posted biweekly on Sundays at 2 p.m. Be sure to follow along and reach out to us with your own thoughts, comments, and ideas!

The Tikvah Podcast Tikvah The Tikvah Fund is a philanthropic foundation and ideas institution committed to supporting the intellectual, religious, and political leaders of the Jewish people and the Jewish State. Tikvah runs and invests in a wide range of initiatives in Israel, the United States, and around the world, including educational programs, publications, and fellowships. Our animating mission and guiding spirit is to advance Jewish excellence and Jewish flourishing in the modern age. Tikvah is politically Zionist, economically free-market oriented, culturally traditional, and theologically open-minded. Yet in all issues and subjects, we welcome vigorous debate and big arguments. Our institutes, programs, and publications all reflect this spirit of bringing forward the serious alternatives for what the Jewish future should look like, and bringing Jewish thinking and leaders into conversation with Western political, moral, and economic thought.
