Hey Reader,

How was your holiday weekend? I hope you had an amazing time! If you celebrated, I pray it was filled with warmth, love, and family. And if you didn’t celebrate, I hope you still felt surrounded by God’s peace and goodness.

As we descend into the end of the year, I know your inbox and social media feeds are overflowing with “set goals,” “new year, new you,” and “finish strong” messages… but as believers, our focus must be different. Our priority is always the Kingdom. And when we align ourselves with God first, everything else finds its place.

And because of that, I want to personally invite you to two gatherings that are designed to draw you closer to God and prepare your heart for 2026.

The first is our Blessings & Prayer board gathering happening tomorrow, December 30th, at 7 pm EST in our Tier 2 Patreon community. This is an opportunity to not just set goals and write a vision but to hear from God and partner with Him for 2025.

The next event is our Annual Fasting & Dedication happening January 5–11th. The Lord led me in a different direction from our normal 21-day fast and dedication, and this year, it will be 7 days. I'm sure we will find out the reason very soon.

If you have been thirsting for more clarity, time with the Lord, and direction for your life, this will be the fast for you. We will be seeking the Lord as a community and setting the tone for the new year through prayer, surrender, and intentional focus.

You can find more information about both events below!

Reader, I want to encourage you to stand strong and hold on to God as we head into the new year. No matter what it looks like or what you thought should have happened this year, just know God is in control.

With Love,

Rachel

Align Your Year With God: Join the Tier 2 Blessings & Prayer Board Party

There’s something powerful about pausing before a new year and saying, “Lord, I want what You want.” That’s exactly what our Blessing & Prayer Board Gathering is designed for.

Tomorrow, December 30th at 7 PM EST, our Tier 2 community will come together to create prayer-led vision boards—boards anchored in faith, scripture, and divine direction. We’re not just cutting and pasting goals… we’re inviting God to shape our expectations, clarify our desires, and breathe on the areas of our lives that need His touch.

If you’re craving clarity, alignment, or simply a quiet moment to hear God before stepping into 2025, this is the space for you. Bring your supplies, bring your heart, and come ready to partner with Him in a fresh way.

7 Days of Fasting & Dedication Happening January 5th-11th

​

Our 7-Day Intimacy & Worship Fast is happening January 5th–11th, and I want to invite you to join us as we set aside this intentional time to seek God together.

This fast is a time to realign, refocus, and return our attention to the One who leads us. As a community, we’ll be consecrating these seven days to seek His heart, strengthen our spirit, and posture ourselves for what He wants to do in 2026.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Daily emails with encouragement, teaching, and prayer
• A YouTube prayer wall where you can share requests and stand in agreement with others
• A specially curated fasting playlist to help you stay centered throughout the week
• A united community fasting together—supporting, praying, and growing collectively

I’m looking forward to pursuing God together and beginning the year in His presence.
