As we enjoy the warmth of summertime, it’s the perfect moment to reflect and reset our perspectives. Midyear can feel like a “messy middle” when icomes to our annual goals and objectives, but what if we infused it with some Christmas truth? 

Let’s unwrap this special Christmas-in-July episode and reset as needed as we reaffirm our financial goals are reflecting a Christ-centered focus. 

Today’s episode explores three practical steps to help us reflect, revise, and refocus our financial plans, ensuring they honor our faith and align with God’s greater story.

 

In this episode, John discusses: 

  • Midyear reflection: Evaluating personal and financial goals

  • The importance of flexibility in financial planning

  • Aligning financial goals with faith and values

  • Practical steps to reframe financial plans for the rest of the year 

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Taking a minute to reflect on midyear progress allows for a comprehensive understanding of what you’ve accomplished, what needs attention, and what milestones need to be celebrated.

  • We must adapt and revise financial plans so they stay relevant and flexible. It’s also a time to align with current situations and adjust to accommodate unexpected life changes and challenges.

  • Aligning financial goals with your faith helps create a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment. It ensures that financial decisions are made intentionally and contributes positively to your life mission.

  • When you simplify and refocus on priorities, you can reduce stress, increase effectiveness and efficiency, and ensure goals are attainable. 

 

“We want to leave room for God to move. We want to plan. God asks us to plan, but not so much that we box him out.”
