What if everything you've been chasing is the wrong thing?

Tim and Rebecca Lindsay have seen it all — the burnout, the emptiness behind the achievements, the quiet crisis of people who succeeded by every measure and still felt lost. As authors, pastors, coaches, and mentors, they've spent decades helping people find what actually lasts.

In the debut episode of The High Level People, host PJ Crescenzo III sits down with this powerhouse couple for a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of how we spend our lives — and why so many of us are spending them wrong.

Tim and Rebecca don't just talk about purpose. They've built it, modeled it, and passed it on across generations. Their message is clear: your worth isn't found in what you produce. It's rooted in something far deeper.

This one will challenge you. It might even change you.

Episode 1 is live — don't miss it.
