Feeling stuck does not always mean you are lazy; sometimes it means you have drifted from the purpose and relationship with God that once made you feel alive. In this episode, Darin and Jordan talk honestly about merely existing, spiritual drift, shame, identity, other people's approval, ambitious faith, and preparing for what God has called you to do. If life has become repetitive and disconnected, this conversation will help you recognize what may be missing
What if anxiety isn’t something I’m supposed to control, but something Jesus is inviting me to surrender? In this episode, I open up about the anxiety, pessimism, and fear I’ve been wrestling with during my job search and how Matthew 6 has been reorienting the way I see my future.

If you’ve been overwhelmed by “what ifs,” worst-case scenarios, or the pressure to figure everything out, this episode is for you.

What if the reason the Bible feels confusing isn’t because you’re not reading enough — but because you’ve been looking for the wrong thing? In this episode, I share the one shift that changed the way I study Scripture: I stopped reading the Bible as just information and started reading it as a way to know God. Through John 5:39, we’ll look at how it’s possible to search the Scriptures and still miss the One they’re pointing to. If you feel stuck, confused, or disconnected when you read the Bible, this episode will help you start over with a clearer purpose and a better roadmap for understanding Scripture.
