Instead of asking what goals you have for the New Year, we want to ask the question "What holy habits are you setting for this year?" Instead of seeking to accomplish something, we want you to seek and know the presence of God this year. Whether that is studying your Bible more, memorizing Scripture, or another way to deepen your faith, let's begin today to create habits that lead our hearts to loving and experiencing God more.

This conversation with authors of our new Lifeway Girls study, Dwell on These Things, is one of our favorites of all time. Natalie Abbott and Vera Schmitz are two sisters who founded Dwell Differently, and they are passionate about your and your teen girl(s) love for God's Word.

New year, new you? That's not our goal this year!

It's so easy to go into the new year trying to find ways to "fix" things about our bodies, yet what if self-improvement isn't the goal? Rather, faithful obedience and stewardship over what God has given us.

Let's spend this year giving thanks to God for the bodies given to us!

Give us a follow @lifewaygirls to keep up with all that's happening!

Christmas week is finally here! Most likely you've spent the month helping your teens embrace God's love and remember the meaning of the season. But don't let this week (or any week) go by without embracing His love for you.

This episode is a little bit different, but we hope this conversation will help encourage you to quiet your soul this week and remember that because of His great love for you, God sent Jesus. Merry Christmas, friends!
