Creating new habits like working out daily or spending more quality time with family seems promising as the ball drops in NYC and blasts of fireworks fill the sky on New Year's Eve.

We want to dig deeper. How can you not only form good habits but become a better person for yourself and your family? We believe it starts with principles that God has taught us in Scripture. “Habits” combines practical tools to help with habit-forming/ breaking but also speaks to the source of all change–the heart. We believe lasting change starts there.  Whether you’ve been a believer most of your life or are just starting to explore faith, “Habits” is designed to help you change and grow right where you are (literally, you can [watch it online!](https://www.orchard.church/messages?sapurl=Lytta2RmL2xiL21zLytwZ3F6N3lxP2VtYmVkPXRydWUmcmVjZW50Um91dGU9YXBwLndlYi1hcHAubGlicmFyeS5saXN0JnJlY2VudFJvdXRlU2x1Zz0lMkIzMmt4eWRj)).
