## Resource

Ready for Breakthrough? Need a prophetic word? Do you start every new year with big goals and good intentions… only to feel frustrated when nothing actually changes? If you’re a Christian woman who needs breakthrough and is tired of setting goals and getting nowhere, this episode is for you. Last week, we talked about writing the vision (Habakkuk 2:2), spending time with God, listening, and writing down what He shares with you. But vision alone isn’t enough. Vision without action eventually leads to discouragement, and that’s where so many women of faith get stuck. In this episode, Christian life coach Amy Wadlington walks you through how to turn God-given vision into real, sustainable progress, without striving, hustling, or overwhelming yourself. This is biblical encouragement paired with practical strategy for Christian women who want lasting breakthrough, not another year of false starts. You’ll learn why most people quit their goals by February, how to take an honest inventory of where you are right now (without shame or toxic positivity), and how to set goals that actually fit your real life and current season. Inside this episode, Amy breaks down: • The difference between intentions and goals, and why intentions must come first• How choosing a word of the year keeps women of faith aligned and focused• What the 1% rule looks like in real life, small changes that actually stick• How habit stacking reduces resistance and builds consistency• How to set SMART goals with realistic timelines (12 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and long-term)• Why partnering with God in the planning process brings peace instead of pressure Whether your goals are around health, faith, finances, business, or finally stepping into the calling God has placed on your life, this episode will help…
