My January 2026 Goal Setting Workshop

My January 2026 Goal Setting Workshop & Monthly Goals Report: Why I’m Demanding "Give Me This Mountain" (Starting Again from $0)

Welcome to my 2026 Goal Setting Workshop and Monthly Goals Report!

This is the time of year when, like many of you, I set my annual goals using a specific "S.M.A.R.T" method that actually works and is proven to get results year after year. While I missed this rhythm in 2025, I am returning to it now with a fresh intensity.

However, this year is different.

In the past, whenever I set goals, I used to track them on a playful "Progress Climb"—visualizing a mountain of income during my online business days, long before full-time ministry and HTN. Back then, the climb was about meeting our family's monthly passive income needs. It was about hitting a number for comfort.

But 2026 is different. With our family now in full-time ministry and building Harvest the Nations, the cartoon mountain is gone.

Today, I am re-launching these monthly reports not from a place of comfort, but from the "Hill Country." As I write this, my family and I are facing what the Bible calls "Anakim"—literal giants of unemployment, a mortgage crisis, and the pressure of a critical financial deadline as we fight to stabilize our family's foundation.

We are starting this climb at $0. But this time, we aren't just hiking; we are fighting.

I pray this post is encouraging, motivating, and empowering for your 2026 Financial Breakthrough as well.

You might wonder why I am sharing these goals and tracking them so publicly. The reason is rooted in a simple but profound truth: What we track and measure is what we improve.

I am doing this for my own benefit just as much as I am for yours. By writing this vision plainly and reporting on it, I am walking in the light of accountability. I have found that when we commit our plans to the Lord and then diligently track them, we steward His resources with greater focus and faithfulness.

My prayer is that this post does more than just update you on my journey—I pray it sparks yours. I hope you take this as a sign to go set your own 'Goal Setting Workshop' with the Lord and the Holy Spirit this week.

Habakkuk 2:2 says, 'Write the vision and make it plain.' But Jesus also reminded us of the discipline required to see that vision through.

Luke 14:28 asks: 'For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it?'

That is what this report is. It is us sitting down, counting the cost, and tracking the progress so that—by His grace—we will finish what we’ve started."

The Spiritual Season of Crushing (You Are Not Alone)

I know I am not alone in this. As I speak with believers and leaders across the nations, I sense a collective spiritual season of "crushing" that many of us are enduring.

It feels like we have been placed in a divine wine press. The pressure is immense. For many, this has manifested as a brutal season of financial delay, unexpected robbery, and a "devourer" that seems to eat away your harvest before you can even gather it. You may be facing a lack that doesn't make sense on paper, or breakthroughs that seem to get hijacked right at the door.

The Bible speaks to this pain in Proverbs 13:12: "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life."

The enemy has used this season of delay to try and make our hearts sick—to make us weary of doing good. He has operated as the thief mentioned in John 10:10, coming to steal our peace, kill our momentum, and destroy our financial stability.

But we must remember that the crushing has a purpose: it produces the oil. And the thief has a law he must abide by.

Proverbs 6:31 (The Law of Restitution)

"Yet when he [the thief] is found, he must restore sevenfold; He may have to give up all the substance of his house."

We are identifying the thief in 2026. We are calling out the spirit of poverty, delay, and robbery that has attacked our finances. We are not just asking for "help"; we are demanding the seven-fold restoration that is legally ours by covenant. We are standing on the promise of Joel 2:25, that God will "restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten."

We must understand that this "crushing" has not just been a season of bad luck; it has been an illegal hold on your destiny. The enemy has overplayed his hand.

In this season, we are not just asking God for a favor; we are entering the Courts of Heaven to present the blood of Jesus and demand a verdict. When the thief is caught, the law requires restitution.

The Apostolic Wisdom:

"You cannot conquer what you do not confront, and you cannot recover what you do not legally claim."

This month, we are moving from "begging" to "legislating." We are serving an eviction notice to the giants of debt and lack. The crushing was the enemy’s attempt to abort the weight of glory you are carrying, but the gavel has come down. The verdict is Vindication.

This deep crushing is what has forced my hand. It is what has pushed me from a passive "maintenance" mode into an active "warfare" mode.

The Shift: From Gardening to Warfare

In the past, my mindset was about "planting seeds" for the future. While that is biblical, it is too passive for the season I am in. When you are standing at the edge of a financial crisis, you don't need a gardener's trowel; you need a sword.

For 2026, my anchor scripture is Joshua 14:12:

"Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there... It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said."

When Caleb spoke these words at 85 years old, he wasn't asking for a retirement home with a view. He was looking at the hardest terrain with the toughest enemies—the very giants that scared everyone else away—and he claimed it as his inheritance.

Defining My "Giants" (The Anakim)

Transparency is scary, but it’s necessary for a breakthrough. Just as Project Life Mastery and other entrepreneurs share their wins, I believe it is powerful—and biblical—to share the battles.

We often look at success stories and assume the path was clear. But Caleb didn't get his mountain because it was empty; he got it because he was willing to fight for it.

Here are the specific giants currently squatting on my promised land that I am targeting in 2026:

• The Employment Giant: Overcoming a long, difficult season of unemployment and the instability that comes with it.
• The Debt Giant: Navigating mortgage arrears, immediate overwhelming bills, and the pressure of accumulating debt that threatens our home.
• The Fear Giant: This is perhaps the loudest one. It's the voice that whispers, "It’s too late to rebuild. It might be over. You cannot do this. You will not succeed in time to save your family."

I am sharing this publicly because I want you to see that these giants are not stop signs—they are targets.

The 2026 Ascent: The Strategy

I am shifting my mindset from surviving to conquering.

• The Mountain in my new progress tracker represents the $10k/month recurring income we need to restore our household and fund the ministry.
• The Sword represents that we are actively evicting the enemy of poverty to reclaim the peace, provision, and destiny God promised us.

We are not climbing because it’s easy. We are climbing because this territory belongs to the Kingdom, and we are going up to take it back.

MY CURRENT 2026 GOALS PROGRESS TRACKER:

The Hidden Battle: Why We Are Asking for Partners Now

I need to be raw with you about the "Why" behind this specific goal.

As an Ordained Minister now fully giving myself to this calling, my heart burns to equip the Body of Christ. That is why, with the strategic planning help of our Board of Directors, I am laboring day and night right now on the massive establishment and expansion of this Harvest the Nations (HTN) international ministry.

You may not know this yet, but we are currently walking through a massive and critical paradox: We are on the verge of a significant ministry launch, yet we are simultaneously facing our greatest financial need.

I am currently in the final stages of configuring and launching a brand new Kingdom Equipping Platform directly here on the Harvest the Nations website. This is not just a collection of content—it is a strategic engine designed to activate your calling and equip you with the practical tools to impact your sphere of influence. This platform creates the essential digital infrastructure for us to train laborers and leaders, accelerating the Gospel to the nations for years to come. In addition, I have several new books currently in the works—with the first one in the editing phase right now—which will be released over the next month or two. There is even more to come in the future as we continue to grow.

I Am Working for a Sustaining Ministry Breakthrough

I want you to know: I am not sitting back waiting for a bailout; I am laboring faithfully and diligently for a breakthrough by faith in our ministry calling.

My hands are on the plow every single day. I am faithfully at my desk, pouring my heart, leadership, skills, experience, and labor—under the leadership of the Holy Spirit—into these books, this ministry, and this platform. I know they will bless the Body of Christ, and I believe with all my heart they are God’s guidance and divine strategy for us right now. I am doing my part to sow the seeds for the future, but I cannot carry the financial weight of the ministry alone without you and the Body of Christ while the seeds are still in the ground.

The Truth: We Are 100% Dependent on Your Financial Giving Partnership

We have said a complete "Yes" to the call of God to be in Full-Time Ministry in complete faith and dependcny for our monthly finanical provision. We are all in. But because of that obedience, we currently have no source of income other than what God provides through you.

The Reality: Distraction vs. Focus

For Harvest the Nations to fulfill this mandate, it must be founded on a stable base of monthly recurring support that sustains its ministers for the sake of the gospel and their families while they do the work. Right now, that foundation is not there yet.

Right now, that foundation is not there yet for us or our ministry HTN.

Because we are operating without a salary and facing a critical deadline with our mortgage company at the end of this month, the stress of basic survival—paying the mortgage and caring for my wife’s severe health crisis—is a constant weight.

To be honest and fully transparent: It is a distraction. It is hard to give yourself fully to the Gospel and the Nations when you are worried about stabilizing your family home, kids, and wife's needs.

This Is Why We Need You

We are looking for 100 Ministry Partners to stand in the gap with us right now to reach our goal by February 28, 2026.

Your partnership does more than just pay a bill—it buys my Focus.

• It frees us up from the crushing stress of survival mode so I can stop worrying about the mortgage.
• It releases me to give myself fully to the Gospel and the Nations again.
• It allows me to focus 100% on finishing this platform and launching these equipping tools without distraction.

How You Can Help (Two Options):

1. Become a Monthly Partner: If you are able, please click the button below and become one of our 100 foundational partners joining us at $50/month (or more) today.

2. Share This Mission: If you cannot give financially right now, you can still fight with us by sharing this post on Facebook and social media. Help us reach the people God has called to stand in the gap with us.

If you believe in the call of God on this ministry, help us stabilize this ship so we can sail.

The Biblical Foundation for Our 2026 Goals Ascent

We are not setting goals just to be "productive." We are setting goals to be faithful stewards of the potential God has placed inside us. As we stare down these giants and prepare to climb, these are the scriptures anchoring my spirit and my strategy:

Habakkuk 2:2 (The Command to Plan)"Then the Lord answered me and said: 'Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.'"

My 2026 Application: A goal not written down is just a wish. We are writing the vision clearly in this workshop so that we can "run" without stumbling when the pressure hits.

Nehemiah 4:14 (The Motivation to Fight)"And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, 'Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.'"

My 2026 Application: When the "Anakim" (giants of debt/fear) try to intimidate me, I remember why I am working. I am fighting for my wife, my children, and my home.

Proverbs 21:5 (The Strategy of Diligence)"The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty."

My 2026 Application: We aren't looking for "get rich quick" schemes. We are looking for the "plenty" that comes from diligent, daily execution of a God-given plan.

Zechariah 4:10 (Starting from Zero)"For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven rejoice to see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel..."

My 2026 Application: Starting at $0 again can feel humiliating, like failure, or poor instead of the YES fully to follow God and His call on our lives, but God does not despise small beginnings. He rejoices to see the "plumb line" and the work begin (the tools of construction) back in my hand.

1 Corinthians 9:24 (The Call to Focus)"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it."

My 2026 Application: My ADHD brain loves to wander, but this year requires tunnel vision focus. We are not just participating; we are running to win the prize of financial freedom and Kingdom impact free from the financial warfare and bondage coming around us.

James 2:17 (Faith in Action)"Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."

My 2026 Application: I can pray for $10k, but if I don't build the funnel, write the book, and make the calls, my faith is dead. This year is about Faith + Massive Action.

Mark 12:36

“For David himself said by the Holy Spirit:

‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’

An Invitation to Partner with the Harvest

Join Us on the Frontlines

I have shared my heart and my battles with you transparently because I believe we are a family. The giants we are fighting—unemployment, debt, and delay—are not just attacking a household; they are trying to silence a ministry.

But as Paul wrote to the Philippians, "Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account" (Philippians 4:17).

If the Holy Spirit is leading you to stand with us in the "Hill Country"—to help arm us for this battle and fuel the work of Harvest the Nations—we invite you to sow a seed of breakthrough today.

Your generosity right now does two things:

1. It Breaks the Chokehold: It provides immediate relief to the financial pressure, allowing us to focus fully on the Kingdom assignment.

2. It Activates the Law of Reciprocity: You are sowing into a ministry that is currently in the "wine press," which means the oil of breakthrough is fresh. We believe that as you help us recover our territory, God will move swiftly to recover yours.

All gifts to Harvest the Nations are 501(c)(3) Tax-Deductible.

A Prophetic Prayer Over Your Seed

(Add this right below the button)

"Father, I decree over every person who sows into this ground today: As they help lift the heavy burden off this ministry, I ask that You would lift the burdens off their house. May this seed be a weapon of war. We declare the Proverbs 6:31 Seven-Fold Return over their finances. Let the harvest come swiftly, let it come legally from the Courts of Heaven, and let it be overflowing. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen." ***
