RHW 2026 Preview || A Year of Healing, Hope & Holy Renewal

Welcome to 2026 at RHW Ministries

A Year of Healing, Hope, and Holy Renewal

As we step into a brand-new year, my heart feels tender, grateful, and expectant. If you’re reading this today, I want you to know something right from the start:

You are not alone on your journey.

This past year has been stretching for many of us — physically, emotionally, spiritually. Maybe you’ve carried old wounds that resurfaced. Maybe you’ve been navigating health challenges, fear, or fatigue. Maybe life has felt like more than you could hold.

But here’s the beautiful truth:

God has been with you every single step.
And He will continue to carry you into this new year with grace, strength, and hope.

As I prayed over the direction of RHW for 2026, the Lord gently impressed one theme on my heart:

Healing.

Not quick-fix healing.
Not pressured healing.
But the slow, tender, intentional healing that Jesus does as we walk with Him day by day.

That’s the heart behind every column I’ll be sharing with you this year.


Your RHW Journey for 2026

Each Friday has a purpose — gentle, steady, and rooted in Scripture.

🌿 1st Friday — Recovery Reframed

We’ll take an honest look at the places women run when life becomes too heavy.
Not with shame.
Not with judgment.
But with compassion and Christ-centered hope.
Each month, we’ll uncover a new struggle and discover the healing Jesus offers in the middle of it.

2nd Friday — Running the Race (Hebrews Study)

Hebrews is a book of endurance, encouragement, and spiritual maturity.
This study will help us keep our eyes on Jesus — especially when we feel tired, distracted, or discouraged.
Think of this as your monthly “faith reset.”

🌸 3rd Friday — The Healing Journey

These posts will speak directly to the deeper places of your heart.
The emotional places.
The weary places.
The places that need rest, comfort, and gentle truth.
Each month, we’ll explore one facet of personal and spiritual healing.

📘 4th Friday — Book Study (Joyce Meyer: Answers to Anxiety)

This book has been a gift to me, and I believe it will bless you too.
We’ll walk through it together, one chapter at a time, pulling out practical wisdom and biblical encouragement for everyday peace.

🌼 5th Friday — Reviews & Sacred Pause Features

When a month gives us a 5th Friday, we’ll enjoy something lighter:

    • a spiritual review
    • a worship spotlight
    • a devotional reflection
    • or a simple “sacred pause” to breathe and rest
      These posts will be gentle and refreshing.

My Heart for You This Year

If you feel tired… discouraged… anxious… or simply ready for a fresh start, this space is for you.
My prayer is that RHW becomes a quiet sanctuary — a place to breathe, reset, and receive from the Lord.

This year is not about striving.
It’s not about perfection.
It’s not about doing more.

It’s about walking closely with Jesus and letting Him tend to the wounds we often try to hide.

He sees you.
He loves you.
And He delights in healing what hurts.


A Prayer to Begin the Year

Lord, thank You for carrying us into a new year filled with hope and possibility.
Meet us in the places that ache.
Heal the wounds we’ve carried for far too long.
Strengthen us where we feel weak.
Lead us gently into the plans You have for us in 2026.
May this be a year of deeper peace, fuller joy, and unexpected healing.
We trust You, Jesus — one step, one breath, one day at a time.

Amen.


As we close, I invite you to receive this blessing with a quiet and open heart. This new lyric video of “The Blessing” featuring Andrea Bocelli with Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes, feels like holy ground. Let these words—rooted in Scripture and wrapped in worship—rest over you as God’s covering for the year ahead. May His presence go before you, and behind you, and beside you, all around you and give you peace.

BOOK STUDY: The Search for Significance | Chapter 12 & 13: Guilt vs. Conviction & The Trip In

On the fourth Friday of each month in 2025, we’ve been studying The Search for Significance by Robert S. McGee. Join me as we confront the enemy’s lies of self-doubt and find our victory in the truth of who we are according to God’s Word! This is our final column in this series.

 

We’ve come to the final chapter of our yearlong journey through The Search for Significance by Robert S. McGee—and what a journey it has been! In this final column, we’re combining Chapter 12: Guilt vs. Conviction and Chapter 13: The Trip In to reflect on how we can walk in truth and freedom as transformed women of God.

Chapter Summary

In Chapter 12, McGee helps us understand the important difference between guilt and conviction. Guilt is the voice of shame that condemns and keeps us stuck. Conviction, on the other hand, is the gentle prompting of the Holy Spirit that leads us to repentance and freedom. God doesn’t want us to wallow in guilt—He wants us to walk in grace and growth.

Chapter 13: The Trip In is about learning to renew our minds with God’s truth. McGee encourages us to replace the lies we’ve believed for years with Scripture, anchoring ourselves in our identity in Christ. This internal transformation becomes the foundation for lasting peace and purpose.

“Truth renews the mind. Grace restores the soul. Together, they lead us into lasting freedom.”
— Paraphrased from Robert S. McGee


🕊️ Biblical Truths

“Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.”
~ 2 Corinthians 7:10

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
~ Romans 12:2


💭 Reflection Question

Are you listening to the voice of guilt, or are you allowing the Holy Spirit to lovingly convict, guide, and restore you with truth?


🛠️ Simple Application

    1. Identify One Lie You’ve Believed – Write it down. Then, find a Scripture to counter it and declare it over yourself each day this week.
    2. Practice Grace Over Guilt – When you mess up or feel discouraged, pause and ask: “Is this guilt or conviction?” Then choose to respond with truth and love.

💖 Final Thoughts on Our Series

Over the past twelve months, we’ve exposed some deep lies and confronted powerful strongholds—performance, approval, shame, blame, and fear. But more importantly, we’ve anchored ourselves in the truth of who we are in Christ:

✨ We are justified.
✨ We are reconciled.
✨ We are forgiven.
✨ We are made new.
✨ We are fully loved—without having to earn it.

If there’s one thing I pray you carry forward from this study, it’s this: Your worth is not up for debate. God declared it once and for all through the cross.

Sister, you are not a project to fix.
You are a woman of significance—redeemed, equipped, and sent to live in freedom and truth.


💌 From My Heart to Yours

Thank you for joining me in this book study. Whether you read every post or just one, my prayer is that you’ve encountered truth that sets you free and a Savior who loves you beyond measure. Keep pressing in. Keep renewing your mind. Keep choosing significance through Christ.

We’re just getting started. 💗

With love,
Tamara

🎶 Worship Moment

To celebrate how far we’ve come, I invite you to listen to Zach Williams’ powerful version of “No Longer Slaves.” His bold delivery brings strength and confidence to this anthem of freedom. Let it be your declaration as you step fully into the truth: You are no longer a slave to fear—you are a child of God.
