8 Books You Should Read in 2026

In this episode, Emily and I are kicking off 2026 talking about fresh starts. Why we love them, why they matter, and why they don’t always go the way we hope. There’s something about a new year that invites us to pause, reflect, and ask what kind of people we actually want to become.

I’m sharing 8 books you should read in 2026 - not as a checklist, but as tools that can help shape your thinking, your faith, and the direction of your life. Even one or two of these could make a real difference.

If you’re stepping into this year with hope, questions, or a desire to grow, I hope this episode will encourage you.
