In this episode, Jeff and Kevin discuss: 

• Navigating through the moments of demarcation and redirection in our lives. 
• The seasons of life and our relationship with God throughout. 
• How to decide where to give and tapping into your own empathy. 
• Strategic planning for your life while submitting to God’s plan. 

Key Takeaways: 

• God will play a role in your healing, often in ways that you don’t expect. 
• There is hope if you are struggling with depression and anxiety. You are not alone. God is always there and helping you through. 
• Compassion should be at the heart of everything. The people are what matter the most. 
• Live life differently than the mainstream tells us to. Persevere and be obedient to what God is directing you to, even when it doesn’t seem to make sense. 
• Love is an action - put it into practice. 

"The people in God's plan are what matters. Stop worrying about the money, stop worrying even about the objective work for God's plan or for excellence, the results will come. That's up to Him." —  Kevin Garland
