Episode notes
Secular Identity
- The essence of sin in secularism is constructing an identity without reference to God.
- This manifests as self-definition without acknowledging a creator or a divinely ordained way to live.
Midlife Transition
- Midlife is a second adolescence, shifting from heroic thinking to meaning and wonder.
- The first half of life focuses on accomplishment, while the second seeks deeper meaning and re-enchantment.
Morning Routine for Resilience
- Cultivate resilience by dedicating two hours each morning to non-urgent, reflective activities.
- This allows for deep thinking and connection with God, vital for navigating daily demands.
