Many people hit their 40s or 50s with a quiet, nagging thought: I should have this figured out by now.
This episode challenges that belief.
In this honest, discussion-driven conversation, we unpack where the midlife pressure to “have it all together” really comes from—and why confusion at this stage of life is often a sign of growth, not failure. We talk about clarity versus certainty, faith without performance, and why seeking deeper answers around money, purpose, health, and relationships is not a weakness.
If you’re navigating life after 40, questioning old assumptions, or trying to follow Jesus without pretending you have all the answers, this episode offers perspective, permission, and practical grounding—without clichés or hype.

This is a conversation for seekers and searchers who value clarity, alignment, and honest faith over noise.
