July 09The Real Flex Isn't Getting What Everyone Else Wants… It's Not Wanting It in the First Place
In this episode we’ll talk about:
Why wanting what everyone else wants automatically puts you in chase mode — and what that's costing you
The difference between playing the same game better and playing a different game entirely
Why the current cultural moment is revealing something important — institutions courting creators who don't actually need them
The internal work of figuring out what you actually want vs what you were trained to want
Why refusing the invitation isn't rejection — it's clarity about the game you're playing
What becomes possible when you finally want what's actually yours

July 08Why Does Grief Reveal Some of Our Deepest Connection to God?
In this episode we’ll talk about:
Why grief has a way of doing what almost nothing else in life can do to our spiritual sensitivity
How loss slows down our sense of time — and why that slowing down is where God tends to meet us
Why we ask deeper questions in grief than we do in almost any other season
How grief strips away the noise that usually stands between us and God
Why the closeness people feel to God in loss is often the closeness that was always available — we just weren't quiet enough to receive it
What we can carry from these seasons into the rest of our lives
