Freedom from Fear to Bold Expectation
As we begin 2026, what are you hoping for? What are you afraid of?
And what does God have to say about both your hopes and your fears?

The beginning of a new year invites us to pause. To reflect on what we’ve been carrying and to imagine what might be possible ahead.
At work, hopes and desires often take the form of more: more revenue, more success, more respect, more customers, more market share, more support, more opportunities.
At work, fear often shows up in the form of less or not enough: fear of not enough revenue, income or success, of losing stability or respect, of less support and fewer opportunities to grow, of just not being enough. Often it hums beneath the surface as worry, restlessness, or exhaustion.
But Scripture invites us to look beyond our immediate circumstances and seek God’s input and perspective. He knows exactly what your 2026 will entail: the successes and joys, the fears and failures. He calls us into reverent trust, a reordering of what we fear and what we desire. God has bigger and better plans for us – plans that involve His presence in our lives and our workplaces.
He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5) and He works all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
As you enter 2026, do you believe these promises?
When we trust these promises, our bold expectation of what God is capable of in our lives and through our work begins to grow.
Bold expectation is the confidence that God is alive and active in the world and our workplaces, and that He desires to work through us for the good of others and the building of His Kingdom. It is the belief that His ways truly are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9) and though His version of “success” and “growth” may not align with ours, it actually exceeds anything we could ever ask or imagine. This knowledge that God is sovereign, active and good changes how we show up: we are free to work with courage, integrity, and openness to what God could do—far beyond what we can manage ourselves.
This year, we’re creating space to explore these questions together—to name fear honestly, to practice trust intentionally, and to encourage one another as we learn to live and work with bold expectations.
Because we were never meant to carry these questions alone.
Join us as we explore freedom from fear to bold expectation—together.
P.S. Community has a way of turning private fear into shared courage. Wherever you find yourself this new year, there’s room to explore, reflect, and grow alongside others asking the same questions.
