# My 2025 Bible and Faith Goals | Deepening My Spiritual Journey ![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uEY1cHAnuWA/maxresdefault.jpg) ## Intro [(00:00:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=0s) - A video is being shared about 2025 faith goals, marking the third year of creating such goals, with the first one being in 2023 and the second in 2024 [(00:00:02)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=2s). - The creator is excited to share their goals and is grateful for the support and accompaniment of their audience in their spiritual journey [(00:00:18)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=18s). - A recap of the 2024 faith goals is planned before diving into the 2025 goals [(00:00:24)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=24s). - The creator looks forward to hearing about the faith goals of their audience as well [(00:00:22)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=22s). ## 2024 faith goals recap [(00:00:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=28s) - The goal was to continue with [[Bible]] studies from a white Bible, and three different studies were completed in 2024, including [[Epistle to the Colossians | Colossians]], 1st and 2nd Thessalonians, and Isaiah, with the latter being an ongoing study due to its 66 chapters and a break taken halfway through [(00:00:30)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=30s). - A habit of praying when waking up and going to bed was formed, with [[Jesus]] being the first thought in the morning and gratitude expressed for another day, making it a positive way to start the day [(00:01:27)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=87s). - Memorizing scripture was another goal, with progress tracked for the first quarter of the year, but the habit fell off when tracking stopped due to not having a planner, highlighting the importance of tracking in maintaining habits [(00:01:53)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=113s). - The goal of casually reading through the Bible was achieved, with various reading plans completed, including reading the whole Bible in 30 days, the [[New Testament]] in 2 weeks, and the gospel in 30 days, with a preference for highlighting while reading to aid engagement [(00:03:15)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=195s). - Having multiple Bibles can be beneficial for engaging with the text, as the act of highlighting is what helps with engagement, and once a passage is highlighted, it cannot be re-highlighted, so having multiple Bibles allows for re-reading and re-highlighting [(00:04:08)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=248s). - The goal of reading and highlighting the Bible was achieved, with most of the New Testament books being read and highlighted, and it is suggested to date when each book is finished to keep track of progress [(00:04:30)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=270s). - A good habit to develop is to write notes and summaries of each book, and then transfer them to a file to keep them organized, which was done for independent [[Bible]] study [(00:05:04)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=304s). - Transferring notes to key cards can help summarize each book in a shortened form, making it easier to review and recall key points, but it is essential to review and revise notes regularly [(00:05:44)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=344s). - The goal of creating Bible art was achieved, but not to the extent desired, with only two pieces completed, Genesis 26 and Genesis 27, and a start made on Genesis 28, but the creative process should not feel like a chore [(00:06:26)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=386s). ## 2025 faith goals [(00:07:18)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=438s) - The main goal for 2025 is to finish the Chronological Bible reading plan, which was started in November, using a Life Application Chronological Bible that helps apply the Bible to life [(00:07:18)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=438s). - The initial plan was to finish the whole [[Bible]] before the end of 2024, but it's taking longer due to thoroughly reading and noting the content [(00:07:51)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=471s). - The Chronological Bible reading plan is enjoyable, as it links books together and provides a continual flow of events, making it easier to understand and remember [(00:08:09)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=489s). - The goal is to read a couple of pages a day to finish the Bible by the end of the year, which requires an hour's commitment daily, preferably in the morning [(00:09:12)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=552s). - Another goal is to use a daily scripture writing planner, a small, soft-cover planner found at [[TJ Maxx | TK Maxx]], to write a different scripture every day of the year [(00:09:53)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=593s). - The planner is a weekly style planner, which is different from most hardback and small planners, and will be used to write a daily scripture and reflect on it [(00:10:48)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=648s). - A Bible notebook was found at TK Maxx, which is quite wide and easy to write on, making it ideal for writing scriptures [(00:10:56)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=656s). - Initially, the plan was to write 365 "do not fear" scriptures, but it was discovered that this is a myth, and there are actually around 160-180 scriptures that say "do not fear" [(00:11:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=673s). - The plan has been changed, and the new idea will be revealed in the next video, which is about January goals [(00:12:12)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=732s). - The third goal is to memorize scripture, but this time it will be done differently, possibly by reading daily scripture from the notebook and repeating it a few times a day [(00:12:27)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=747s). - The goal is not to memorize everything, but to review what has been written and read at least once a week, with the repetition helping with memorization [(00:12:48)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=768s). - The fourth goal is to get back to watching more [[Bible]] movies that are on the list, with a focus on biblically accurate movies [(00:13:22)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=802s). - The goal is to pick up where it was left off, as there was a break from watching these movies after February [(00:13:52)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=832s). - The next goal is to continue with Bible art, with no pressure, but to pick it up whenever feeling creative [(00:14:24)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=864s). - The goal is to create more Bible journaling pages in 2025, with the intention of filming the process for those who enjoy watching, although the number of pages to be created is uncertain, with past records showing a decline from 2022 to 2024 [(00:14:39)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=879s). - The goal is to remind oneself to be creative and pick up pens and paints to work on the journaling pages, as the outcome is usually enjoyable, despite initial worries about the result [(00:15:22)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=922s). - A prayer list will be kept on a phone, behind a pin for privacy, to keep track of prayers and tick off answered ones, with most prayers being for ongoing protection rather than specific things [(00:15:46)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=946s). - The prayer list also includes prayers for sisters who have been in communication, as well as people who used to comment but have not been heard from in a while [(00:16:31)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=991s). - The prayer list serves as a reminder to be intentional with prayers and provides evidence of seeing God's work when prayers are answered [(00:17:02)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1022s). - Church sermon notes will continue to be taken in a notebook, with the intention of continuing to attend church, Lord willing [(00:17:31)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1051s). - Taking notes each week is a huge goal, as church is considered beautiful and a nice place with lovely people [(00:17:48)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1068s). ## Reflection [(00:18:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1080s) - A [[Bible]] is placed in the middle as the focus, and viewers are asked to share their Bible or faith goals for 2025 and reflect on their progress in 2024 [(00:18:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1080s). - Reflecting on previous goals is essential to understand what worked, what didn't, and what needs to be changed or carried over to the new year [(00:18:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1093s). - Viewers who set a goal to read the Bible in a year are asked if they achieved it, and if not, what they plan to do differently to achieve their goals in 2025 [(00:18:24)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1104s). - It's emphasized that reflection is crucial to making changes and getting more into the word without feeling pressured or stressed [(00:18:44)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1124s). - If a goal is not reached, it's okay, and viewers are encouraged not to give up completely but instead adjust their goals as needed [(00:18:54)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1134s). - Monthly goal reassessment is suggested as a more realistic approach than having a plan for the entire year [(00:19:06)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1146s). - Breaking down goals into smaller, monthly tasks can help make them more manageable and allow for adjustments as needed [(00:19:31)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1171s). - The most important thing is to get into the word, regardless of the method, whether it's reading, [[Bible]] study, scripture writing, or memorization [(00:19:44)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1184s). - Viewers are encouraged not to delay or wait for the perfect setup or plan but to pick one thing and start getting into the word [(00:20:07)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1207s). ## Outro [(00:20:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1228s) - A December recap and January 2025 goals update are anticipated, where more information will be shared about the individual things being done for the month and plans for scripture writing [(00:20:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1228s). - The channel's content is intended to bless its audience in some way, and appreciation is expressed for their presence in the faith journey [(00:20:45)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1245s). - The channel's continuation is subject to the Lord's will, with the hope of speaking again soon [(00:20:50)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1250s). - The importance of believing in [[Jesus]] for salvation is emphasized, with a message of Jesus' love [(00:20:54)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1254s). - The audience is bid farewell, with a wish for a blessed day [(00:20:58)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEY1cHAnuWA&t=1258s).
