LEX & CO // Are Your New Year Goals God-Led or Just Hustle Culture?

34m | Feb 10, 2026

New year… but are we following the same God?


As Christians, we’re often encouraged to dream bigger, do more, and set goals—but how do we know if our goals are actually God-given or just driven by culture, pressure, and productivity?


In this episode, we unpack:

• The difference between God-led goals and self-driven ambition

• Whether Christians should set New Year’s resolutions at all

• How productivity can quietly replace intimacy with God

• Why some cycles feel harder to break—even when we pray

• How to truly surrender a new year to the Lord


We talk ambition, obedience, spiritual discipline, repentance, and preparation—while asking the hard question: Are we doing life with God… or just doing things for God?


This episode is for anyone entering a new year craving alignment, not just achievement.


📖 Scriptures referenced: Proverbs 16:3, James 4:13–15, Psalm 37:23
