Are you feeling stuck in a rut? Does the pursuit of meaning seem like a distant dream? You’re not alone. Many of us struggle with apathy and a sense of purposelessness. This week, Jon Tyson joins us to explore how to break free from these challenges and rediscover the spark that ignites a meaningful life.

Key Topics Discussed:

  • Understanding Apathy: What are the root causes of apathy, and why does it hold us back from pursuing our passions and goals?
  • Navigating a Crisis of Personal Meaning: We’ll discuss strategies for uncovering your purpose and identifying a path that brings fulfillment.
  • The Power of Spiritual Formation: Why personal growth and development done “in private” are crucial for making a positive impact on the world around you.
  • The Joyful Pursuit of Sacrificial Responsibility: Move beyond self-absorption and discover the counterintuitive truth: true joy comes from serving others.
