Most people don’t need better goals. They need better alignment.

In this episode of Unscriptd, Will Abel and Michael Grier lock in on how to plan 2026 with clarity instead of pressure. They unpack why most New Year resolutions fail before February, how faith-based decision making changes the way you plan, and why adding more goals often creates more friction, not progress.

This conversation reframes planning around seasons of life. Harvest, rest, stewardship, and preparation. Instead of forcing outcomes, the focus shifts to alignment, discipline, and obedience. The result is a healthier way to grow without burning out or running ahead of what the season can actually sustain.

If you feel stuck between ambition and exhaustion, this episode offers a slower, clearer, and more intentional way forward.
