182. Life is Hard Even For Believers (and the Future of Always Hope)
Oct 29, 2025
What happens when you hit a wall and can't find the energy to keep going? That's exactly what I've been grappling with over the past few months. After a challenging summer, I realized I needed to take a step back from the podcast and reassess my journey. I’ve faced disappointments and failures, yet this felt like I was at a crossroads. But through it all, I found a renewed desire to keep pushing forward. I’m excited to share my plans for the podcast and how I want to create a deeper connection with you, my listeners. Together, we can navigate the ups and downs of life, and I want to hear your thoughts on how we can grow as a community. Let’s embark on this journey together and find hope in the process!
