In this episode, Ken Freire and Patrick Lowndes address the rising anxiety young professionals feel around probation periods, layoffs, and job insecurity. They dismantle the false belief that staying busy proves your worth and instead show you how to reset your mindset, clarify your value, and faithfully show up with confidence in Christ—not fear.
