Holy Ambition: Pursuing Great Things for God's Glory in 2026

Kick off 2026 with Pastors Zack and Josh on Wisdom for the Wilderness as they tackle a timely question: Is ambition a good thing for Christians? In this New Year's episode, the pastors explore the dangers of worldly ambition—rooted in pride, vanity, fame, or materialism—while making a strong case that the opposite extreme (laziness or aimlessness) is not the biblical answer. Instead, they call listeners to pursue holy ambition: ambitious goals, hard work, and excellence in every area of life (business, fitness, education, creativity, or even the humblest job), all directed toward the glory of God, the advance of His kingdom, and the good of others. Drawing from verses like 1 Corinthians 10:31 (“do all to the glory of God”), Ecclesiastes' call to work with all your might, and Ephesians 2:10's reminder that we were created for good works prepared in advance, Zack and Josh encourage believers to filter their resolutions and dreams through a “holiness lens.” They discuss real-life examples—from gym motivations to business growth to viral comedians—and remind us to start with prayer for God's glory and kingdom, stay hungry and humble, and measure success by faithfulness rather than worldly metrics. Perfect for anyone setting goals for the new year: Don't settle for vain resolutions or timid living—go do great things for the glory of God!
