Do you ever feel like the new year begins with the same old bills and burdens? I know how discouraging it can be to step into January carrying the weight of last year’s mistakes and pressures. In this New Year’s episode of Financially Confident Christian, I share why God’s gift of mercy allows us to start fresh emotionally and financially. I walk through practical steps like releasing shame and guilt, focusing on small attainable habits, and creating a simple January plan to build momentum. By embracing grace instead of pressure, I’ve found that transformation begins with peace and clarity.
This is our eighth season of the show, a brand new chapter and a brand new book of grace from God. Yesterday, we looked back at His faithfulness throughout last year, and today we look forward with hope, clarity, and a deeply needed reset for the mind, heart, and finances. You don’t have to drag yesterday into today, and you don’t have to carry last year’s weight into this new beginning. In this conversation, I encourage you to join our community for support and to embrace new habits in 2026. My prayer is that this episode helps you step into the year steady, renewed, and confident in God’s mercy.
