New Year’s Revolution with Morgan Guyton | Created In The Image of God 209

For the first episode of 2025, Wade Fransson welcomes writer and pastor Morgan Guyton for a special New Year’s conversation that goes far beyond ordinary resolutions. Together, they chart a course into what Morgan calls a “New Year’s revolution”—rooted in mercy, courageously using privilege for the good of others, and forging authentic community in the face of division. Their discussion travels from the dynamics of privilege and the call to use our resources for solidarity and support, to the role of worship, the relationship between prophets and priests, and the irreplaceable value of real, personal relationships—especially in a digital age more accustomed to debates than dialogue. With trademark honesty and warmth, Morgan challenges the easy patterns of arguing with strangers online, and instead champions a faith that listens, shows up, and does the hard work of building a culture where people care for each other in tangible ways. Inspired by the wild ride of a true new beginning and laced with practical hope, this conversation invites listeners to make 2025 less about self-improvement and more about collective healing and bold, relational mercy. Whether you’re ready for new adventures or simply hoping to start the year with deeper meaning, Wade and Morgan’s dialogue is the beginning of something that just might last.
