Intentional Year : Simple Rhythms for Finding Freedom, Peace, and Purpose

Are you ready to stop living reactively, feeling emotionally exhausted, and being pulled in multiple directions?

We struggle to keep up with the demands of life―but God invites us into freedom.
We feel anxious and overwhelmed―but God promises peace.
We’re stretched and empty―but God offers purpose.

The Intentional Year is an invitation to stop right now, right where you are, and choose to live on purpose. This isn’t just about aspirations or self-improvement―a flourishing life is tangible and possible. With stories, practices, and a road map into intentionality, Holly and Glenn Packiam will guide you into simple ways to grow personally. Experience freedom to invest time and energy into the people you value most and into the purpose you were made for.

As you step into your intentional year, you’ll . . .

• reflect on the lessons and celebrations of the past season;
• identify themes and a sense of calling for the season ahead; and
• implement new rhythms of prayer, rest, renewal, relationships, and work.

Life doesn’t have to be something that just happens to us. It’s time to start practicing the life-giving rhythms of an intentional life―starting today.

This year, choose to live on purpose.

Most of us never stop. Work, school, church, friendships, family―life seems to be a rush from one responsibility or activity to the next. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There’s a more abundant way to live.

In The Intentional Year, Holly and Glenn Packiam invite you on a journey to live purposefully into the season ahead. You’ll reflect on your past season, discern God’s call on what’s next, and examine five key spheres of life to pursue a life of peace and freedom.

• Prayer
• Rest
• Renewal
• Relationships
• Work
