Small Gems, Big Dreams

Have you ever felt like you’re just going through the motions, passing the ball back and forth in a routine that has become all too familiar? It’s easy to live life on autopilot, but what if in our hustle to get things done, we are suffering from a kind of ​“inattentive blindness” to the very things God is doing? In this gathering of voices, we reflect on the year gone by and lean into the invitation of a new one.

We explore a challenging but beautiful tension: that truly loving God requires us to pay attention, and truly loving our neighbour requires us to actually see them. From the front lines of mission trips in Spain and Egypt to the quiet, ​“remarkable ordinary” moments of hospitality at home, this conversation is a call to refocus. How can we rediscover the small, precious gems in our lives that the enemy wants us to overlook?

We dive into why persistence in mission matters and how shifting our gaze can transform our relationships. This isn’t just about New Year’s resolutions; it’s a warm invitation to become ​“ambassadors of hope” by discovering beauty in everyone you meet. Will you stop long enough to see what’s right in front of you?
