✨ Digital Disciple 2026: Faith, Fully Awake

Jan 02, 2026

Launching a New Year of Reflection & Action • Holy Covenant UCC

by Eric Miner

A new year has arrived — not quietly, not cautiously, but with questions in its hands and hope in its stride. And with it comes a new season of the Digital Disciple.

In 2026, this space will continue to be a place for reflection — but not reflection that ends in stillness. This year, we lean into a faith that moves. A faith that listens deeply, speaks honestly, and then takes the next faithful step.

“Faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.” — James 2:17

Digital Disciple 2026 is grounded in a simple conviction: that faith deserves room to breathe and responsibility to act. That our questions matter — and so do the answers we live out together.

Throughout the year, we’ll explore what it means to be people of conscience and courage in a changing world. We’ll translate belief into practice. We’ll tell the truth about where we are. And we’ll pay close attention to how God keeps showing up — in community, in justice-seeking, and in the ordinary work of love.

This year is not about louder faith or faster answers.

It’s about faithful presence:
showing up when it matters,
choosing love when it costs something,
and trusting that small, faithful actions can reshape the world.

A Beginning Practice (If You’d Like)

As this year begins, take a moment to name one question you’re carrying —
and one action you feel called to take.
You don’t need the whole plan.
Just the next faithful step.

💬 What kind of faith do you hope to practice this year?

Your reflection may help someone else take their first step, too.
