Welcome to the Leadership Now Podcast with Dr. Aaron Rock hosted on Beachhead Media.

Aaron has served as a pastor, a professor, a chaplain, a writer, and a speaker, and he has a keen interest in helping other Christians to think

Christianly about all of life. On this show we like to talk about the nuts and bolts of theology,

ethics, leadership and other relevant matters that will help you to lead better now.

My name is Eric Oldrop, I'll be your host for today, and if you've been keeping up with a show you know that

we've been going through a series called Life Stages so we covered advice for teens

we've covered how to accelerate through your 20s last week.

Chris so graciously filled in for me

and he talked about thriving in your 30s with Aaron.

And this week, obviously, we've hit our 40s.

So, table, like I said, we'll discuss life in your 40s and this is a decade filled with lots of possible

transitions and from a macro level it can be pretty important.

Happy birthday to you. happy birthday to you.
