Let’s talk spiritual growth goals for the New Year! I legit remember at the beginning of every new year when we were serving in youth ministry, the Youth Pastor would talk about goals. And pretty much without fail, every kid (and most adults) would come back with “grow closer to God” as one of their New Years Resolutions. Which is cool… but there are really 2 major problems with this approach. First of all, it’s a very vague goal, and as with any goal, if there’s no strategy behind that, it’s not very likely to happen. Also, spiritual growth goals are not easy to measure, like a weight loss goal or a savings goal, so it takes more intentionality and reflection to track progress.
