Authentically leading and empowering others to flourishing life in Christ
All tagged end of year reflection
As the year ends, reflection matters—but how we reflect matters just as much. While honesty and responsibility are necessary, harsh self-criticism often leads to paralysis, not growth. Scripture reminds us that God is still at work, faithfully bringing to completion what He began in us. As this year closes, be kind to yourself and allow God the space to continue shaping what comes next.
By the time Friday arrives, most of us are carrying more than we realize. Leadership has a way of quietly adding weight we don’t notice until we slow down. Rest is not a sign of disengagement, but a practice of trust—remembering that God continues His work even when we step away. Rest reminds us that the Kingdom isn’t built on our constant effort, but on God’s faithfulness. Carrying less is sometimes the most faithful thing we can do.
