Becky Keife: Expectations vs. Expectancy: What You Need to Know for 2024

As the Community and Editorial Manager for (in)courage, I've felt the Spirit inviting us to adopt this posture of abiding expectancy as a community. Rather than setting goals for more podcast downloads or outlining a grand plan for new ministry directives, I feel God calling us to listen, wait, watch. Abide deeply with Jesus and watch expectantly for how He will lead and what He will accomplish in and through us.
 
 So for 2024, let's choose to let go of expectations and lean into expectancy. 
 
 Let's shift from asking, "What will I do this year?" to "Lord, what kind of fruit will You bear?"
 
 Whether you are new to reading (or listening) to (in)courage, or you've been with us since 2009, we are SO glad you're part of this community! Our heart is to serve you well with our daily devotions, weekday podcast, books, Bible studies, and Instagram encouragement. Why? Because we love Jesus -- and we know you do too -- and we want to remember together WHO He is, see HOW He is working in our lives, and learn WHAT it looks like to become more like Him.
 
 I am so expectant for the ways the Lord is going to shape us, grow us, and guide us this year. Thanks for being here.
