Setting Personal and Ministry Goals with a Biblical Framework

In this episode, we dive into an edited recording from a breakout session at the Calvary Family of Churches Non-Ignorable Conference in Denver.

The session focuses on setting personal goals with a biblical framework. The breakout emphasizes the importance of proactive goal setting, rooted in biblical principles, and warns against a reactive approach to life. Key scriptures such as Philippians 3:18-19 and James 3:13 are discussed to illustrate how believers should set and pursue goals humbly and intentionally. Practical advice is given on breaking down big goals into smaller, manageable tasks while keeping the focus on God’s calling and purpose. The framework includes setting input goals and output goals, with an emphasis on self-awareness, humility, and submission to God’s authority. The episode concludes with a reminder that success is defined by becoming more like Jesus rather than personal achievements or productivity.
