Pastor Daniel challenges traditional approaches to personal change, particularly New Year’s resolutions. He emphasizes replacing “trying” (minimal effort) with “training” (systematic development), citing biblical references from 1 Corinthians 9 and 1 Timothy 4. Pastor Daniel introduces a transformation triangle framework comprising community, narratives, and practices, all powered by Holy Spirit reliance. The message emphasizes that lasting change comes through deliberate training rather than willpower alone.
