Beginning the Year With God — Not Pressure | Returning to the Foundation in John 1 [Season 4 Ep 1]

Hey Sis 💛

As we begin a new year together, many believers find themselves longing for closeness with God—not more pressure, routines, or striving… just relationship.

In this opening episode of our January study through the Gospel of John, we begin gently. If your faith feels a little off right now, this is a safe place to land.

Together, we return to the foundation found in John 1, where we’re reminded of who Jesus is—the Word, the Light, and the One who comes near before we ever get it right. This episode isn’t about fixing your faith. It’s about beginning again with grace.

✨ Inside This Episode

• A biblical affirmation from John 1 • A gentle reflection on why faith can feel misaligned • An overview of the Gospel of John and why we’re starting here • A journal prompt to carry with you all week • A closing prayer inviting God’s light into weary places

Whether you’re feeling spiritually refreshed or quietly worn down, you’re welcome here. We’ll be walking through John together—one chapter at a time—rebuilding a grace-filled walk with God.
