3 Anchors You MUST Leave Behind in 2026 (This Will Change Your Walk With God)

As we step toward 2026, many Christians are trying to build a new year on an old foundation. In this powerful final episode of 2025, Mike Stone reveals three spiritual anchors you must leave behind if you want to walk fully in God’s purpose—regret, comparison, and comfort.

Drawing from Scripture, including Genesis 19, John 21, Isaiah 43, and Lamentations 3, this episode challenges believers to stop living as pillars of salt—preserved in the past—and start moving forward in obedience. Learn the difference between conviction and condemnation, why comparison is spiritually dangerous, and how comfort quietly kills growth.

If you’re longing for a fresh start, clarity in God’s will, or freedom from what’s been holding you back, this message is for you. God isn’t waiting for January 1st to do something new—He’s waiting for you to let go.
