In this conversation, Jenny and Lee explore the intersection between setting goals and letting God prevail. We all have experience with setting a goal and not meeting it for a variety of reasons. This can lead us to question the validity of setting goals, and we might even lose our desire to set goals again in the future. But, what if the true value of setting goals is not solely found by attaining the desired outcome? What if it is the process of setting goals, working toward them, and pivoting when necessary to let God prevail that the real growth occurs?
