Overview

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.

Praise for The Intentional Year

This book helped me rethink our family’s plans for next week and for next year. If you feel like your stress, busyness, and distraction are sapping healthy rhythms from your life, Glenn and Holly Packiam are welcome and practical guides. You won’t feel like you are reading about something ideal but unattainable. This is a book for real people, and the steps shown here can lead us to better lives.

--Russell Moore, public theologian at Christianity Today and director of Christianity Today's Public Theology Project

The best part of this book is that a wife and husband are literally on the same page, in pursuit of God-honoring intentionality in their personal, marriage, family, and ministry lives. I love how Glenn and Holly weave their personal story into their desire for abundantly intentional years together. A richly spiritual, warmly relational, and vibrantly practical resource.

--Stephen A. Macchia, founder and president of Leadership Transformations, director of the Pierce Center for Disciple-Building at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and author of The Discerning Life

Glenn and Holly Packiam have crafted a book that’s about so much more than just setting goals―they’re showing us God’s invitation to abundance through living with intentionality toward Jesus. What does it mean to create rhythms of renewal, rest, and refreshment in this hurried day and age? The Packiams answer that question beautifully with pastoral guidance and practical wisdom.

--Aubrey Sampson, pastor, speaker, and author of Known
