347 | God’s Promise for the Year Ahead Isn’t Success—It’s Peace

Do you ever wonder what God’s plan to “prosper” you really means?

Maybe you’re stepping into the new year with mixed emotions. You feel hopeful in some ways, weary in others. In this episode, Angie shares encouragement from Jeremiah 29:11 to remind you that God’s plans are never about pressure or performance. They’re about peace.

What you’ll hear in this week’s episode

• A fresh look at what “I know the plans I have for you” really means when life doesn’t go as planned
• The difference between the kind of success the world promises and the kind of security only God can give
• Why God’s definition of prosperity (shalom) isn’t about getting more, but becoming whole
• Wisdom from trusted voices like Tony Evans and Charles Spurgeon reminding us that God is always at work, even when we can’t see it
• Angie’s honest story of enrolling in a costly program that felt all wrong in the moment, but how God used it to grow peace and purpose on the other side
• A closing reflection to help you start 2026 trusting the Planner more than the plan
