How to change who you'll become 5 years from now
In today's episode, we had a super raw and real conversation about how to change who you will become in the next five years. The key? Taking a hard look at the inputs in our lives. Before we dive in, a HUGE shoutout and Happy Birthday to Linda! 🎉
🎙️ In this episode, we cover:
The importance of growth and change in our journey with Jesus.
The iconic quote about how we are the sum of our five closest friends and the books we read. But is that all there is to it?
How we can think about "inputs" in our lives more broadly - from friends, to social media, to the shows we watch, and of course, our faith.
Why merely thinking positive might not be enough. The surprising power of avoiding negativity.
Our thoughts on TikTok and a fun theory we heard (no shade to the TikTok lovers out there!).
Three actionable ways to become a better version of yourself in the next five years:
Decide to make an intentional change.
Eliminate the negative inputs that hold you back.
Increase positive inputs and surround yourself with those who lift you up.
A personal story about the challenge of finding the right friends and how being intentional about it can make a world of difference.
The underrated value of books and why I'll forever advocate for them. 📚
A mindset shift about the timeframe of change and how our lives can be radically different in five years.

💡 Final thoughts: Growth requires effort, intentionality, and sometimes discomfort. But remember, God's got you through it all. Whether you're in a season of growth or you feel a bit stuck, I hope this episode inspires you to evaluate, change, and march toward the best version of yourself.
