Send us a text What if the way you start 2026 spiritually matters more than any goal you set this year? As physicians, we’re great at planning, setting targets, and pushing forward, but when it comes to our walk with God, many of us start the year with good intentions and no clear plan. In today’s episode, I’m sharing three simple, practical ways to begin 2026 grounded in God without adding pressure, perfectionism, or unrealistic expectations. This isn’t about another New Year’s checklist. It’s about setting your intention with the Lord and creating sustainable spiritual rhythms that fit the realities of medicine. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why starting the year with God matters more than any resolutionHow to set a meaningful spiritual goal for the new yearHow to choose a Bible reading plan without overthinking itWhy Scripture is essential for clarity, discernment, and stability in uncertain timesHow journaling helps you capture revelation, direction, and God’s voicePractical tools busy physicians can actually stick withI also share a personal story about Bible reading, perfectionism, and how easy it is to lose momentum before the year even begins—and how to avoid that trap this time. If you’re a Christian physician who wants to start 2026 anchored in God’s Word and aligned with His voice, this episode will help you take the first step. ----- Invitation to the Heal the Healers Physician Retreat happening January 16–17 in the Madison, Wisconsin area.
