Happy New Year from your RIOT Podcast family! 🎉 As we step boldly into 2026, today’s episode sets the tone for everything God wants to build in you and through you this year.

Many of you know Pete wrote the book Rise Beyond Ordinary, but today we’re reintroducing the heartbeat behind it—because this message is more crucial than ever. Rising beyond ordinary is not a slogan… it’s a lifestyle. A lifestyle marked by:
🔥 Intimacy with Jesus
🔥 Obedience to His voice
🔥 Multiplication through disciple-making

Jesus never called us to casual Christianity. He called us to a supernatural, Spirit-filled life that transforms families, communities, and nations. And as we begin 2026, we are declaring this year as A Year of Intimacy, Obedience, and Multiplication.

If you’re tired of lukewarm faith… if you know God is calling you deeper… if you want this year to look NOTHING like the last—this episode is your launching pad.

🔥 What We’re Talking About in This Episode:
💛 INTIMACY — Drawing near to Jesus
Why intimacy is the most important resolution you can make this year—and how it fuels clarity, peace, purpose, and emotional health.
👂 HEARING GOD CLEARLY
2026 belongs to those who listen intentionally. Hearing God's voice brings direction, wisdom, and peace.
💪 SUPERNATURAL STRENGTH
Transformation doesn't come through willpower—it comes from staying connected to Jesus.
🛟 OBEDIENCE THAT UNLOCKS BREAKTHROUGH
“At Your Word, I will…” becomes the key to God-sized results.
📖 GROUNDED IN THE WORD
If you want a different year, you need a different intake: more Scripture, less noise.
🌱 DISCIPLESHIP & MULTIPLICATION
Making disciples isn’t a program—it's a lifestyle that transforms you while you transform others.
🔥 HOLY SPIRIT EMPOWERMENT
Acts 1:8 shows us that multiplication flows from overflow. Spirit-filled disciples create more disciples.
🧹 LETTING GO OF WHAT HINDERS
Old habits, mindsets, sins, and emotional weights must be released for you to rise beyond ordinary.
🤝 COMMUNITY THAT SHARPENS YOU
Your relationships shape your 2026. Walk with people who push you toward Jesus.
💡 SHINING BRIGHT FOR JESUS
This is the year to stop hiding and start shining—boldly, joyfully, and visibly.

🌟 FINAL WORD
2026 isn’t about resolutions—it’s about relationship.
If you commit to intimacy, obedience, and multiplication, you will rise beyond ordinary—and you’ll never go back.
