The Walk

The Walk - Am I Really Seen?


Listen Later

This was a tough one to share.

A few weeks ago, I asked ChatGPT to give me an honest, unfiltered analysis of my life—based on everything it “knew” about me from past podcast transcripts and conversations. What came back hit me harder than I expected.

Not because it was cruel. But because it was true.

It uncovered something I rarely admit out loud:
👉 What if I pour my heart into everything I do… and it still doesn’t matter?
👉 What if I go unseen—not just by others, but even by God?

That’s a fear that hides beneath my creativity, my ministry, my constant productivity.
I keep doing, creating, sharing… but why is it never enough?

Here are a few painful (but freeing) truths I explored in this episode:

  • I use productivity to prove I exist. If I stop creating, I feel invisible.

  • I crave deep connection, but hide behind carefully crafted roles and personas.

  • I chase legacy—yet ignore the joy of the present moment.

  • I switch between roles to escape, not to evolve.

    But this wasn’t just an emotional dump. It was also a breakthrough.
    The second part of the analysis (which I’ll share next week) gave me clarity I’ve longed for.

    Spoiler: It all leads back to writing.

    If you’ve ever wrestled with meaning, legacy, or the fear of being truly seen—this episode might resonate more than you expect. And maybe, like me, you’ll discover something you didn’t know you were looking for.
