2026 Word of the Year

Published on: 01/01/2026

Sometimes a single word is enough to steady my hands for the year ahead. Other years, the Lord gives me a phrase, or a small collection of words, because the season is layered. Growth, obedience, pruning, and fruit do not always arrive one at a time. They overlap. They intertwine. And they require attention in more than one place at once. Choosing more than one word is not a lack of focus; it is a recognition of the full counsel of the work before me. Scripture itself often pairs instruction with action... root and bear fruit, sow and reap, abide and go. When God is cultivating deeply, He often names more than one thing at a time.

Dominion or Subjugation Part 4

Published on: 26/11/2025

In this final chapter of Rosemary Hayda’s Dominion or Subjugation series, we move beyond navigating sales and resisting impulse buying and step into the deeper, quieter work of the soul. After examining our motives and discerning the world’s consumerist patterns in Part 3, Rosemary now leads us into the hard but holy task of SLAY, identifying and destroying the idols that claim our affections. From there, she invites us to PREPARE, truly prepare, for the return of Messiah Yahushah, tending the fire on the altar of our hearts, testing our spiritual temperature, and offering up whatever the Holy One asks to burn. Through Scripture, song, and sober reflection, this final installment calls us to disentangle from the world, steward our finances wisely, lighten our possessions, and run, like Secretariat outrunning the pack, toward the Kingdom that cannot be shaken.

In this third installment of Rosemary Hayda’s Dominion or Subjugation series, we step into the churning waters of Black Friday with clear eyes and a steady heart. Building on the truths that time is your life, money expresses your values, and every purchase builds either your household or another’s, Rosemary offers a practical, Scripture-anchored approach to shopping with integrity. Through IDENTIFY, CUTOFF, and SIFT, she helps us separate needs from wants, silence impulse buying, and examine our motives in the light of Yahuah’s wisdom. This is a quiet call to resist the world’s consumerist tide, reclaim your agency, and choose stewardship over manipulation… before the final part of the series arrives next week.

In Part 2 of Rosemary Hayda’s financial and faith series, Dominion or Subjugation, we move beyond the concept of resisting the world’s consumerist tidal wave and begin examining our time, money, and priorities through the lens of Scripture. This section walks readers step-by-step through assessing what they already have, identifying needs versus wants, and discerning whether their resources are serving their household or feeding the world’s systems. Filled with timeless Biblical wisdom, sobering statistics, and gentle yet firm exhortation, this installment invites us to pause, take inventory, and realign our hearts before ever opening our wallets.
