Quick Update - December Arena
The Arena
With winter imminent, the holidays taking hold, and the new year almost upon us, we have decided to slow down and take a breath.
That means this month there will be no Arena call for MBD+ members.
However, we will be extending access for MBD+ members for the previous call, so if you haven’t had a chance to digest that call, now would be a great time. You can also comment on that arena post with your own thoughts/questions and we can continue the conversation there.
If you’re curious what that was about, here’s a short synopsis:
On the Nov 2025 Arena call, Dr. Jeff Spencer and Nic Peterson got into the messy reality of year-end:
You only have a few truly functional weeks left in the year
Family expectations ramp up
The people you love most may also be the ones pulling you furthest from what you’re called to do
They dig into questions like:
How do you head into the holidays without betraying yourself just to keep the peace?
What does it actually mean to “keep everyone in choice” so there’s no betrayal on either side?
And what’s the long-term cost of trading your gifts for approval?
Jeff shares some very personal stories about family, calling, and regret, and Nic ties it back to Journey Around the Sun, scrutiny, expectation, and how to finish the year.
