207. Before You Set New Goals: Why Character Matters More Than Success
Description
As the year comes to an end, it’s natural to start thinking about goals — getting fit, saving money, improving relationships, or managing time better. But before you rush into setting goals for 2026, this episode invites you to pause and consider something far more important: your character.
In this episode, we talk about why character matters more than success, achievement, or influence. When we grow spiritually and become more like Christ, every other area of life is impacted naturally.
We reflect on the life of Jesus — His obedience to the Father, His love for people, and His humility in leadership. We also revisit the powerful moment between Jesus and Peter after Peter’s denial, where Jesus restores him and calls him not just to say he loves Him, but to serve Him.
Using 2 Corinthians 3:18 and John 21:15 –17, this conversation challenges Christian leaders to reflect honestly: Does my life reflect Christ? And have I truly committed my life to Him?
If you’re ending the year in reflection and preparing for what’s next, this episode will help you realign your heart, your leadership, and your priorities with what matters most.
