This week, Matt Chandler opens up about hitting a wall in 2022 and the emotional toll it took on him. We’ll discuss the dangers of living a life emotionally muted, the anatomy of a moral failure, and the importance of a robust theology of suffering. As someone dedicated to serving others and building the Kingdom, Matt’s insights offer a unique perspective on the challenges we all face. I’m thrilled you’ve joined us as we delve into these topics and explore what it means to finish well in life.
