INVITE GOD INTO YOUR YEAR-END
PLANNING FOR 2026
The Soul Setting Workshop is a two-part virtual gathering designed to help you:
Hear from God Discern What To Do In Your Business Feed Your Soul
DEC 17TH & JAN 7TH || 1 PM-3 PM, CST
Do you listen to god when you plan your year?
If you don’t, we get it. We know how frustrating life gets when our plans and God’s plans don’t line up.
You need to learn how to set your Soul before you set your goals.
At the Soul Setting Workshop, we’ll teach you how to discern God’s voice & care for your soul so your 2026 comes into clear view on what you should do (or not do).
You’ll walk away knowing your plans aren’t just good – they’re grounded in God’s direction.
Is this you?
- Struggling to decide on a focus for 2026?
- Want God to speak into your life or business, but don’t know where to start?
- Spiritual life is a dry well, and you’re heading towards burnout?
- Or maybe you hate goals and year-end planning?
- Spend a lot of time reacting instead of stepping fully into what God wants for you?
We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.
-Proverbs 16:9-
goals are great, but we will not set goals in this workshop.
We will Teach You To Set Your soul.
In two sessions, we are going to create space for you to learn how to discern the voice of God more clearly and hear from Him so you feel clear and confident about what He is leading you to do (or not do) in 2026. Here’s what we’ll cover:
Reflect
ON WHERE
YOU'VE BEEN
To know where to go, you must see where God has led you up to now. We’ll practice the Soul’s Review to learn where God is at work in your story. This will give us hints for the year ahead.
Discern
THE VOICE
OF GOD
The world is noisy & chaotic. Hearing God is more important than ever. We’ll explore how to hear and discern so you know what to do next.
Develop
YOUR RULE
OF LIFE
Your rule is an intentional pattern of spiritual practices that provides structure and direction, helping you walk in union with God. A strong rule will help you slow down and engage with what’s right in front of you so you can thrive in life and business.
Establish
HEALTHIER BOUNDARIES
Becoming a student of margin and boundaries is key to staying present, engaged, and strong throughout the year – no matter what comes your way.
Know
where to
focus
When you discern God’s voice, yes’s become clearer and no’s more powerful. We’ll work on aligning your focus & filter with God’s assignment for you.
Integrate
your spiritual life into all your work
Integration of your spiritual life into your work is critical to living a healthy life and building a sustaining business. We’ll teach you daily practices for engaging your soul so your life and business stay on track.
What You’ll Leave with after the workshop:
A spiritual theme for 2026.
Practical tools on how to recieve counsel from God on a daily basis.
New Spiritual practices that grow & challenge you in 2026.
A framework for how to engage your heart and soul with god throughout the year.
A stronger filter on what you should say yes or no to.
a clear understanding of where you should focus your business in 2026.
"All great companies are ran by leaders who are becoming
someone worth following, of strength."

Ben Weaver
I get it.
I used to set goals and make plans without God. By mid-year, I always found myself kicking and screaming when it wasn’t working.
You’ve got big dreams, aspirations, and plans for the year ahead.
The problem is, you’re missing one critical piece in the process:
God’s Voice in Your Decisions.
I know how frustrating it can be when the plan stops working, or even worse, you feel unfulfilled at the end of the year.
I’ve been a pastor, spiritual guide, and director to hundreds of leaders over the past 20+ years, guiding executives and entrepreneurs through challenging seasons and transitions.
My goal is always the same: to help them come alive in their spiritual life, so they can create a healthy family and business with God.
Register now for the workshop, and let’s watch what God and you can do together in 2026.

A significant time given to working through the exercises and completing items inside the workshop. You will leave equipped and refreshed for the year ahead.
