What does real spiritual growth look like in 2026?

In this episode of the Faith in Real Life Podcast, Nat Crawford and Daniel Coke reflect on God’s faithfulness over the past year and discuss how to set intentional spiritual goals for the year ahead. They explore the difference between healthy spiritual discipline and legalism, and how grace empowers obedience rather than excusing sin.

The conversation covers:

  • Why God’s faithfulness is a recurring theme in life
  • How spiritual habits should flow from a desire to know God
  • Why engaging with Scripture leads to transformation
  • The importance of attention in cultivating a relationship with God
  • How to avoid the extremes of legalism and license
  • Why family spiritual practices matter
  • How to set realistic spiritual goals for growth

If you want to grow deeper in your faith without falling into guilt-driven performance or careless license, this episode is for you.
