Episode Details

What’s your word of the year for 2026—and how could it change the way you pursue your calling?

In this episode of The Pursuit of Calling, I share my Word of the Year for 2026: Innovate, and why innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about growth, faith, discipline, and obedience to what God is calling us to step into.

I talk about how choosing a word of the year has helped me:

• Clarify my goals and calling
• Innovate how I pursue growth, not just what I pursue
• Align my goals with my faith in Jesus Christ
• Create bold, meaningful goals and reverse-engineer them into action
• Become the person God is calling me to be

This episode is an invitation to slow down and evaluate your goals, habits, relationships, and faith—and ask whether they’re truly aligned with what God is calling you toward in 2026.

🎁 Free Gift: I’m offering a FREE 1-hour Discovery Coaching Call where you and I can walk through your goals and calling together. You’ll find the link in the show notes.

If you’re ready to pursue your calling with clarity, purpose, and excellence, this episode is for you.
