#73 - What If Your Church Had a New Year’s Resolution?

Author: Jeff Musgrave & George Binoka December 29, 2025 Duration: 32:26

As a new year approaches, many Christians think about personal goals—but what about goals for the local church? In this episode, George Binoka and Jeff Musgrave challenge listeners to rethink New Year’s resolutions through the lens of church health, revitalization, and gospel-centered unity.

From creating safe, grace-filled church environments to strengthening discipleship, improving administrative clarity, and engaging the surrounding community, this conversation explores what it looks like for every believer—not just pastors—to take responsibility for the life and mission of the church. At the heart of it all is a powerful reminder: truth and love are the essential ingredients for real growth, and the gospel is what unites diverse people into one body.

Whether you’re a pastor, ministry leader, or faithful church member, this episode will help you think intentionally about how God might want to use you in the coming year for the health and mission of your church.
