As the year comes to an end, many of us rush into planning, goal-setting, and preparation for the next season. But what if the most important step before the new year is not planning — but pausing? 

In this episode of Jola Speaks, we explore the biblical and spiritual importance of intentionally taking time out with God before the year begins. Drawing from personal practice and Scripture, this conversation invites you to step away from distractions, slow down, and create space for clarity, alignment, and direction. 

This episode is especially for professionals, leaders, and believers navigating multiple roles who desire to enter the new year grounded, rested, and spiritually aligned. 

📖 Topics covered: 

  • Why solitude sharpens spiritual clarity
  • How intentional retreats prepare you for the year ahead
  • The difference between planning and alignment
  • Creating space for God to speak before the noise returns
