Hi friends! I am Ann Eileen Thompson. Welcome back to the Faith Driven Leader Podcast, where we love to share the stories of amazing Faith Driven Leaders.

Today, we are welcoming Alli Patterson back to the show!

Alli is a Teaching Pastor at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. After a successful career at Procter & Gamble, Alli stepped into ministry and a deep study of scripture. Her teaching and writing are authentic honest, and rooted in scripture.

We had Alli on the show a while back to talk about her first book, Still Standing, where she equips readers to stay strong and hopeful no matter what comes with 3 simple, but powerful practices. [Listen to that episode here.]

Today, we’re talking about her new book, out later this month - preorder now here – Blueprint for Belonging: The 5 Relationships Jesus Needed and why you need them too.

Faith Driven Leaders, we need this book and this conversation. I’m betting that there are a few of these 5 types of relationships that are missing for you…understanding them and intentionally building each type will equip, encourage, and empower you as a leader, and as a human!

Want to take Alli’s quiz to see how you’re doing on the five relationships? Head over to the show notes to take the quiz.

Let’s dive into the conversation with Alli Patterson.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of my favorite topics: the end of the year and the beginning of the new one. This season is a beautiful time to step back, reflect, and prepare with intentionality for what’s ahead.

I’ll be sharing some of my favorite year-end practices for reflecting on the past year and planning for the next, with a focus on inviting God into the process. Together, we’ll explore how to:

• Celebrate the wins, surprises, and growth from the past year.

• Dream big with God about the year ahead.

• Set goals that align with His plans for your leadership and life.

Plus, I’ve created a free downloadable Year-End Reflection & New Year Planning Guide to help you walk through this process. You’ll find the link in the show notes!

Enjoy this episode? Please leave us a review and share the podcast with your friends. Wishing you a joyful and intentional start to the new year!
