Our Time to Rise in Midlife

Ep.495: You Are Built to Fly with Eric Scofield


Listen Later

Eric Scofield has an incredible story about his dad building a plane. You need to listen to our conversation to believe it. And from that he learned many of his bigger life lessons around how God made us and for purposes beyond our own imagination.

If you are feeling discouraged today, listen to this episode.

If you are wondering if God still has good things for you, push play.

If you think your best days are behind you, enjoy the conversation.

Midlife can make us wonder if we truly are "built to fly" or maybe our flight time is short. Eric reminds us that God can do a good, and even new, thing in us so we can live a full and fruitful life.
