From Partying to Prayer: Why I Gave My Life to God at 30, EP 64

🧠 What if everything you thought you knew about God, religion, and purpose… was incomplete?In this soul-searching episode, Josh sits down with Nathan Hoffman (a.k.a. the Jewish Tony Robbins) to discuss what it really means to go through a spiritual awakening—especially as a man in transition.Raised secular, Nathan became observant later in life, while Josh shares his story of deconstructing faith and rebuilding a relationship with God on his own terms. Together, they explore why so many men struggle with spirituality, how ego and shame get in the way, and what true connection with a higher power can actually look like.Whether you’ve left religion behind or are just beginning your spiritual journey, this conversation will challenge, inspire, and invite you to ask deeper questions about who you are and why you’re here.🔍 What You’ll Learn:What a spiritual awakening really is (and isn’t)Why middle-aged men often feel empty despite successHow rules, structure, and freedom can coexist in faithThe dangers of living the same 6 months on repeatHow to start discovering your mission and divine purpose📩 DM "ALIGNMENT" to Nathan on Instagram @nhoffmanonlyupfor his free Purpose-Finding Exercise — a tool to help you identify what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and how to get paid for it.👉 Drop a comment if you’ve been through a divorce.
