The start of a new year is a great opportunity to make changes in your life and enhance your effectiveness as a leader. And a very biblical and effective way to do that is by writing down realistic goals. Of course, lots of people have career goals for the office, but what about “family goals.” Have you thoughtfully, prayerfully established some goals where your spouse or children are concerned? Want to spend more time with your kids? Enrich your marriage relationship? These things impact your quality of life as much as anything you do. Have you made a quality decision to set some family goals for this new year?

Mac Hammond is the senior pastor of Living Word, a large and growing church in Brooklyn Park (a suburb of Minneapolis), Minnesota. He is the host of the Winner's Minute, which is seen locally in the Minneapolis area on KMSP Channel 9 at 6:44 a.m. and 11:11 a.m. He is also the host of the Winner's Way broadcast and author of several internationally distributed books. Mac is broadly acclaimed for his ability to apply the principles of the Bible to practical situations and the challenges of daily living.
Between 1970 and 1980, Mac was involved in varying capacities in the general aviation industry, including ownership of a successful air cargo business serving the Midwestern United States. A business acquisition brought the Hammonds to Minneapolis, where they ultimately founded Living Word in 1980 with 12 people in attendance. Today, after 40 years, that group of twelve people has grown into a church body of more than 10,000 members.
