Ending the Year with Purpose: Why the World Race Is More Than a New Year’s Resolution

As the year comes to a close, there’s a natural pause in the air. Calendars slow down. Conversations turn reflective. We start asking quieter questions – the ones we don’t always make space for during the rush of everyday life. What did this year shape in me? What did it reveal?

A sense that God may be inviting them into something new, something stretching, something meaningful. On the World Race, we see this...
