episode 47: Goals 'n Grace

This episode is the first in a series we are calling “Goals ‘n Grace.” In this series, we will explore the complexities of goal-setting versus goal-achieving. Along the way, we will interview several of our goal “heroes”: people we know who’ve set goals, taken risks, and accomplished incredible goals while granting themselves grace to fail forward.

Join us for this inaugural episode as we explore the psyche behind goal-setting. We’ll also be transparent about some of our own goal-setting, achieving, and some of the goals we left behind.

 

Proverbs 21:5

The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

 

Galatians 6:9

Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.

 

Luke 14:28

Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?

 

Nehemiah 6:3 

So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing important work and cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?”

Publisher’s Summary:

A husband's secret life, a wife's new beginning: escape to the Caribbean with #1 New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand.

Irene Steele shares her idyllic life in a beautiful Iowa City Victorian house with a husband who loves her to sky-writing, sentimental extremes. But as she rings in the new year one cold and snowy night, everything she thought she knew falls to pieces with a shocking phone call: her beloved husband, away on business, has been killed in a helicopter crash. Before Irene can even process the news, she must first confront the perplexing details of her husband's death on the distant Caribbean island of St. John.

After Irene and her sons arrive at this faraway paradise, they make yet another shocking discovery: her husband had been living a secret life. As Irene untangles a web of intrigue and deceit, and as she and her sons find themselves drawn into the vibrant island culture, they have to face the truth about their family, and about their own futures.

Rich with the lush beauty of the tropics and the drama, romance, and intrigue only Elin Hilderbrand can deliver, Winter in Paradise is a truly transporting novel, and the exciting start to a new series.

"I will just say that, 24 hours after I started this book, I purchased its sequel, “What Happens in Paradise,” and I did not leave either book to be enjoyed by strangers at the end of my vacation."—Elisabeth Egan, New York Times

Jessica Phillips

Jessica is worshiper and follower of Jesus. He rescued her heart at age 6 but he rescued her calling, purpose and direction in her early 20's. Everyday God is still writing Jessica's story. It involves her husband, Brad, her daughter, Emery, their extended families. But the story is a tale of loss of life and dark grief. And the story ebs and weaves and the grief story is followed by weddings and laughter. And what comes next? A Baby! God sends us a baby to shape and teach and grow right in the midst of our loss and realizing that life actually moves forward. We didn't think it would again after he died. But life just did what it was supposed to do...and it went on. And hope is born again. Everything I write is based on this fact: I'm God's child, I'm alive today. So what do You want me to do for You? Because I want my contribution to matter. I want to leave a legacy.
