When Does Pursuing Your Goals Become Selfish?

As believers, our lives are meant to honor and glorify God…so what do we do with goal setting? Is it selfish to set goals? We tackle these questions in today’s episode!  We chat talk about how we can ensure that our goals are centered on God and not ourselves. And we talk through some ways we can discern if we are setting God-honoring goals. We pray this episode will encourage you to pursue the Lord above all else in the new year.
