In this episode, we’re starting 2025 by taking the first step toward achieving your financial goals: reflecting on your past to SET YOUR LESSONS!

I’ll guide you through key questions and the “10 money moments” framework to uncover lessons from what worked and what didn’t last year.

These insights will help you build on successes, avoid mistakes, and align your goals with God’s plan for faithful stewardship. Let’s lay the foundation for a successful and faith-filled financial journey this year!

In this episode, John discusses: 

• Why financial goal-setting often fails

• The role of ‘lessons learned’ in shaping a successful financial goal achievement 

• Using a biblical perspective to reflect on past financial decisions

• A step-by-step approach to uncovering insights from your financial history

Key Takeaways:

• Achieving your financial goals starts with reflecting on your past decisions, as this helps identify the patterns, obstacles, and successes that shape your financial journey.

• Asking focused questions like “What worked well and why?” helps uncover practical habits and motivations, laying a strong foundation for making better financial choices this year.

• Evaluating your financial behavior across the “10 money moments” (e.g., giving, saving, investing, spending, and planning, etc.) ensures a well-rounded understanding of your financial habits and opportunities for growth.

• Setting your financial lessons as the first step of your goal-setting journey allows you to build on past successes, avoid repeating mistakes, and align your actions with biblical principles for faithful stewardship.

“Setting money goals is easy. Achieving money goals, not so much. It’s pretty tough.”
