189: Introducing The Best of You Every Day (A New Daily Practice)

The Best of You

January has a way of pulling us straight into the how.

How will I fix what feels off? How will I be more disciplined? How will I finally get it right?

But what if there’s a deeper—and more grounding—place to begin?

Dr. Alison opens the year by inviting you to start somewhere different. Instead of beginning with self-improvement or striving, Scripture starts with meaning, presence, and relationship.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why losing sight of the why fuels anxiety, striving, and burnout
  • How meaning and grounding are closer than you think
  • What “the light shines in the darkness” really means
  • How orienting your life around love changes everything

Plus, you’ll hear a special announcement about something new coming to The Best of You—a daily way to stay anchored in Scripture and wisdom as you move through your day.
